Can you spare 10?

Did you know that a brisk, 10-minute walk burns off a 50 calorie chocolate chip biscuit?

So, can you spare 10? Because finding 10 minutes a day to move your body is better than nothing!

If you struggle with the motivation to attend the gym or attend an exercise class, start your journey slow. Walking for 10-minute increments gives you a practical way to place some healthy exercise in your routine.

It doesn’t have to be walking. Instead, you may wish to stay indoors and find a 10-minute exercise class on YouTube or turn on some music and dance around the house for 10 minutes. 

No matter how long you have been inactive or how old you are, there will always be a 10-minute exercise to help you with your health.

Do a ten-minute squat every day; this helps with your hip and ankle mobility. You may have to build up to the 10 minutes, with a minute at a time first. Do one every advert on the TV, or while you are waiting for the jug to boil. While sitting in your lounge, how about trying 10 minutes using a bike exerciser? You won’t get very far, but it is an excellent exercise for your legs. Find yours now by going to exerciser | WOW! Mobility (wowmobility.com.au)

When you do your shopping, try carrying your groceries instead of using the shopping trolley. If you do a monthly shop, this might be a little difficult.

Park further away than you have to. If you are going to a friends house or running an errand, park a couple of blocks away and walk it out.

Power cleaning is a great way to exercise. Briskly walk from one end of the house to the other picking up items that are out of place, one at a time and put them away.
