Synopsis
Introducing a breathtaking promise: transform your body and get fit in just 10 minutes a day. Incorporating the latest research in exercise physiology, The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough is an ingenious program of interval, circuit, aerobic, and resistance training that accrues the benefits of hours at the gym in daily 10-minute workouts. And these are workouts that can be done anywhere, any time...home, office, hotel room, the park, and, of course, the local health club.
Created by Sean Foy, an exercise physiologist and behavioral coach, The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough counters the #1 reason people don't exercise...not enough time...with a scientifically proven, clinically tested 4-3-2-1 program: 4 minutes of high-energy cardio, 3 minutes of resistance, 2 minutes of core, and 1 minute of stretching and deep breathing. The step-by-step illustrated exercises are simplicity itself...air boxing, wall push-ups, chair jogging, stationary high-knee marching...and are presented in three levels geared to the reader's fitness, with four weeks of routines per level. Their potency lies in the benefits of nonstop movement, thermal effect, intensity, and more: in other words, why it truly takes just 10 carefully crafted minutes to boost metabolic rate, exercise all the major muscle groups, increase cardiovascular endurance, have a positive effect on cholesterol and blood pressure, and deliver a sense of well-being.

September 30, 2009: Being someone who has a hectic schedule and in desperate need of some physical activity I saw this as a perfect fit for me. The ability to create multiple exercise routines with the innovative flip cards in the back I thought was ingenious. The pictures along with the printed instruction made it very easy for me to understand exactly how to perform the exercises safely and correctly. This also has had a direct impact on me being consistent with my exercise due to the fact my comfort level is so high.
One of the aspects of this book that was actually more important than the exercise and nutrition information was the chapter on "What is Your Why?" I always knew it would be to my benefit to exercise and eat right, but I never really answered this question for myself so consequently I have never been able to sustain enough motivation to stay with a program for any length of time. This book helped me to dig deeper and find my "Why?". Now that I have unlocked this hidden understanding I'm much more confident that I will be able live a life optimal health.
