We have a million excuses for cutting a workout off the calendar: too
much work, too far from home, holiday travel, and a marathon Scandal binge before the season cliffhanger.
Well, lo and behold, we’ve decided to stop the insanity and get our
daily workouts in, even if it’s just 10 minutes to focus on building up a
sweat. We issued a challenge to the insanely talented (and quite
handsome) Will Torres, personal trainer and founder of the private training gym WillSpace,
to create a simple, safe, and butt-burning workout that you can do
anywhere. The only thing you’ll need? A file box with handles that
weighs about eight to 10 pounds, some floor space and some sweat-wicking
workout gear, because you WILL break a sweat with this workout.
Ready to stop the excuses? Yeah, so are we. Let’s get to work, people,
and demonstrate a workout that builds crazy heat, tightens and tones,
and torches some serious calories, all in just under 10 minutes flat.
The only equipment you’ll need is a file box or a square container with
handles that weighs about eight to 10 pounds.
Tips For Working Out:
Hydrate: “You always want to be well hydrated
before working out. If you wait until you’re thirsty, it’s already too
late: you’re dehydrated. Have a bottle of water with you while you’re
working out, too.”
Eat Beforehand: “Generally, you want
to eat up to two hours before you work out. It’s kind of a trick
question what to eat before you sweat: there are so many variations. You
can work out with just a cup of coffee if you want to do this in the
morning, or just have a light snack sometime before you work out."
Warming Up:
You’ll want to warm up before you move, so Will suggests 60 seconds of
Box Taps (the first move demonstrated) for both heating up your muscles
and for your cool down.
Please go through the program as quickly as YOU can, no rest between the
moves. The whole workout should take you nine-and-a-half minutes to
complete, and you can run through the workout two to three times without
stopping (or with small breaks, who are we kidding?) depending on your
level of fitness.
