While you might not think 10 minutes is long enough, consistency is key with exercise. With 10 minutes a day or every other day, you'll rack up between 35 and 70 minutes of strength training a week, which is more than enough when combined with some gentle cardio (like a 30-minute walk every day) to improve your strength, build muscle, and boost your mobility.

With a recent house move, I've had to cancel my gym membership and spend more time unpacking boxes than lifting weights in the last two weeks. A 10-minute workout and 10,000 steps is all I've had time for most days, and while it's been less than my usual routine, it's given me a bit of personal time and a mental break. So, I've seen the benefit of such exercises for myself.
