The 10 Minute Muscle Building Workout

We all want to build lean muscle mass and burn excess fat, but who has the time, right?  What with work, the kids and maintaining the house, who can really afford to block out the extra time to spend in the gym engaging in a muscle building workout?

If this sounds familiar, you are certainly not alone.  In fact, time – or more specifically the lack of time – is the number one reason that people give for not working out on a consistent basis  Fortunately (or unfortunately if you were using time as an excuse) you have some other options.

Here we will discuss a 10 minute muscle building workout that you can do anytime from the comfort of your own home or office which will help build lean muscle and boost your metabolism so that your body literally melts away unwanted fat.

When most people hear the phrase “muscle building workout” they probably envision bulky guys in gym clothes bench pressing stacks upon stacks of weighted barbells, but this is not the only way to get a full-body muscle workout.  If your goal is to build lean muscle mass and burn fat, you can get the same results from home using bodyweight exercises and light dumbbells to provide superb muscle building resistance.

The 10 Minute Muscle Building Workout

Okay, I know what you must be asking:  “How do I get a full-body workout in just 10 minutes?”  The answer to that question is high intensity strength training.

High intensity strength training is a form of training that combines bodyweight exercises such as pushups, lunges and squats with light dumbbell exercises such as dumbbell presses and curls.  Each exercise is performed at maximum intensity with little or no break between exercises.

This form of training stimulates the muscles in every part of the body, helping to build lean muscle mass and boost your metabolism so that your body burns excess fat and calories.

When creating your own unique 10 minute muscle building workout you’ll want to include a variety of bodyweight and dumbbell exercises which work different parts of the body.  Exercises that directly work the chest, legs, arms and core should always be included in your workout plan.

Below is a sample 10 minute muscle building workout which can provide noticeable results in a very short time:

Your particular workout plan may look differently, and that’s okay.  As long as you include exercises that work all of the primary muscle groups, and perform them at maximum intensity with little or no break between exercises, you’re sure to begin seeing a noticeable difference in your muscle tone in just a few short weeks.

When you begin your workout plan, start slow, and perform your muscle building workout just 2-3 times a day, but as your body becomes more conditioned you’ll want to exercise up to five times a day for best results.
