The ACSM, American college of sports medicine, recommends that most adults should engage in at least 150 minutes of ... exercise each week.
And
Multiple shorter sessions of at least 10 minutes are acceptable and even people unable to meet the minimums still benefit from some activity, always according to the previously mentioned ACSM.
Dr. Carl Foster, a professor in the exercise and sports science department at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
"Yes it can be done. You can do the work in 10 minutes but then it takes you 40 minutes to recover."
And for motivation, "The people who are ... active on a routine basis are the people who don't get heart attacks." He added.
"If I had 10 minutes I would do fairly intense strength training, total body workouts with dumbbells or kettle bells interspersed with cardio intervals like jumping jacks," said Amy Dixon, who is Group Fitness Manager at an Equinox fitness center in Santa Monica, California. And creator of the "Give Me 10" DVD series of 10-minute workouts.
And will remember "If you're reading a magazine," she said,"you're not working out."
