Intent of Fitness Program

The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program is designed for those who have daily time constraints and find it difficult to add an exercise routine into their lifestyle. Each of the exercise workouts are designed to be completed in only 10 minutes, and are well suited for busy professionals and mothers alike. Lack of time is one of the most cited reasons for not consistently working out, and the 10 Minute Trainer fitness program addresses this problem by offering high tempo, intense and targeted exercise sessions.

The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program incorporates a technique called "Super Stacking" which is essentially high tempo cardiovascular movements "stacked" with the use of a resistance band to force the muscles to expend more energy. This approach is designed to burn the highest amount of calories within the shortest period of time. In addition, this approach facilitates an increase in lean muscle mass and strength, improves cardiovascular endurance, and improves coordination, balance and flexibility.

• Total-Body Workout
• Lower-Body Workout
• Cardio Workout
• Yoga Flex Workout
• Abdominals Workout
• Rapid Results Guidebook
• Tony Horton's 10 Minute Meals

Primary Areas Worked

The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program is designed as a total body workout that exercises all of the body's major muscle groups. The fitness program is intended to exercise all of the major muscle groups at not only a high tempo, but with the use of a resistance band that is designed to add additional difficulty. This will promote increases in lean muscle mass and strength, improvements in cardiovascular endurance, and a physique that is toned and highly sculpted.

For instance, the 10 Minute Abdominals Workout includes approximately 20 abdominal crunch and core exercises that are performed in just under 10 minutes. The 10 Minute Abdominal Workout exercises include the cross crunch, bridge crunch and cycle crunch, all designed to create high intensity contractions of your abdominals and obliques muscles. Thereafter, slightly more advanced exercises such as the side arm crunch, hip lift kicks to exercise the gluteals, plank position crunches and scissor lifts are performed. All of the exercises are designed to contract your abdominal and core muscles while complementing the back, upper arm and thigh muscles.

The Cardiovascular Core workout follows a similar approach in that approximately 10 exercises are performed within 10 minutes. The Cardiovascular Core exercises include modified front lunges to work the abdominal and thigh muscles, oblique hop squats, and towel hop squats that are designed to tax nearly all your major muscle groups and elevate your heart rate to a level that effectively burns calories. The workout continues with additional exercises such as the speed skater, in which you mimic the skating technique of an ice skater to provide a shoulder rotator, oblique and thigh muscle workout. Also included within the Cardiovascular Core workout are exercises such as the loading dock, a modified woodchop exercise. This exercise, along with several others, is performed with a pair of dumbbells or some other form of additional weight.

Additionally, all the Cardiovascular Core exercises are performed with the cardiovascular/resistance belt wrapped around the waist which is then attached to a fixed object. The intent of the added resistance is to force the muscles to work harder, thereby promoting an increased rate of weight loss, improvements in cardiovascular endurance, and increases in lean muscle mass and strength.

Program Length/Frequency

Each workout within the 10 Minute Trainer fitness program is designed to be completed in no longer than 10 minutes. The workouts are separated by exercise type so they can be performed individually or combined if you have more than 10 minutes to perform your exercise workout.

The workouts are DVD-based, so they can be performed whenever you have time to complete them. A workout calendar and schedule are included in the 10 Minute Trainer fitness program to assist you in determining which exercise routine is to be performed and on which day.

Effectiveness/Results of the Program

The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program is marketed with several success stories that range from 7 pounds and 18 inches lost, to 42 pounds and 31 inches lost. As with any fitness program, results will depend on your initial baseline fitness level, your intensity level, the regularity with which you perform the exercise routines, and your dietary habits. In addition, if you are currently overweight and sedentary, you will experience even greater fitness results.

Because each workout only requires 10 minutes to complete, your overall health and fitness results will partially depend on your dietary intake as well. In general, a dietary intake of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day is recommended to complement the health benefits derived from the exercise workouts.

A nutritional guidebook is included in the 10 Minute Trainer fitness program and provides all of the necessary information to maintain a dietary regimen that will complement the exercise portion of the program. In all, Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer is a complete fitness program that provides its users with everything they need to effectively lose weight, decrease their body fat percentage, improve their cardiovascular endurance, and increase their lean muscle mass and strength.

Equipment/Space Requirements

The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program is a DVD-based workout program, so a DVD player is required to perform the exercise workouts. The fitness program includes a resistance band and a cardiovascular belt, intended to be used by attaching them to a fixed nearby object such as a door handle.

Normal living room space should be enough to allow you to comfortably perform all of the exercises. However, a bit of rearranging may be required due to the use of the resistance band. The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program does not include an exercise mat. If you are uncomfortable performing floor exercises on your hardwood, ceramic or carpeted floor, purchasing an exercise mat may be beneficial.

Physical Requirements

The 10 Minute Trainer fitness program is ideally suited for those who consider themselves too busy to start an extensive exercise program but would still like to begin an exercise routine and improve their overall health. Additionally, the fitness program may be suited for those who want to begin exercising but do not want to start by purchasing a more extensive long-term fitness program like P90X. Since the 10 Minute Trainer fitness program exercise workouts require continuous movement, those with pain problems should be cautious when performing the exercises.
