A workout in 6-10 minutes?

I used several of these 10-minute solutions DVDs back in college when I was at my heaviest and was looking for something that I could do in my apartment after classes and homework since I didn’t have a whole lot of energy leftover to go to the gym. I had a very hard time deciding to write about these 10-minute solutions DVDs. Mostly because of the emasculating effect I felt. To be honest, nowhere does it say these DVDs are for women, but it’s pretty easy to see that anyone with a Y-chromosome is not in the target audience.

Pull bar -Reviewed

One of the best ways to work your upper body is by doing pull-ups. You can give your biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, back, and even abs, a fast, complete workout in a short amount of time with a good pull-up bar. Even if you can’t do a single pull-up yet, doing hangs and negatives (slowly lowering yourself) is a great workout.

High weight vs High reps -Break down

The absolute fastest way to start a war of words on a weight lifting message board is to ask what are better, high reps of low weight or low reps with high weight. It seems that either people have an unmovable opinion on one side or the other, or they have no clue, asked the question which stated the argument, and walk away even more confused. Let’s see if I can’t shed some light on the topic without loads of hate mail and/or someone trying to crash my site. :)

Lower Body focus

Ok, the last workout I put up focused on the upper body so I figured I would even things out and create a workout for the lower body as well.

Its easy to want to skip lower body work, its hard, it hurts, and everyone hates rubbery legs for a few days after a good session of squats. But heres the truth:

You have more muscle in your legs than anywhere else! If you want to lose weight, hit the lower body hard. Lower body exercises will help you build muscle faster and burn weight faster than anything else.
