How to build Upper Body and Core Strength in 10 Minutes
These 10-minute workouts are simple, intense and require little equipment. Each movement can be scaled for different fitness levels mixed up together if you want a full body workout in just ten minutes!
10 minutes Warm Up: The whole routine starts with running in the same spot for 30 seconds. Then you lift your right arm and left foot at the same time; raise our knee as high as your hips before switching to opposite side of body while quickly lifting your right foot up. At the same time move both arms back and then forward again where one hand is going higher than other so that they meet each other behind head level (it will look like a motion similar to doing push-ups). Repeat this continuously 3 times followed by 30 second break between every round after which another set follows on from beginning but now ensuring that bodies are alternating sides so if first was starting with left leg it’s switched over to starting position.

Next up is butt kicks. Stand with your feet hip-distance apart and arms at your side, as you slowly bring one heel to the buttocks by contracting that hamstring muscle. Place the ball of this foot back on the ground, then repeat but bringing in a different leg for 30 seconds each before taking a 30 second break between legs (60 totals). When ready speed it up until it feels like jogging in place while pumping arms vigorously enough so they feel tired too! Repeat the set 3 times.
The last warm up exercise is Basic squats, which entails standing with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. Keeping your chest up and engaging abdominals, shift weight onto heels as you push hips back into a sitting position until thighs are parallel or almost parallel to the floor. You should feel this in glutes and thighs then pause at top for 2 seconds before pushing yourself back up to start again over 30 second intervals 3 times through
A basic squat involves keeping a strong core while shifting weight from heel of foot throughout leg muscles during movement down followed by using same strength moving upwards towards shoulders
10 minutes Farmer’s Carry / Walk Combine with Push Ups:
Farmer’s carry is a full-body exercise that allows you to open up your chest and lungs. It also helps strengthen the shoulder girdle, biceps, forearms, lats (back), glutes (butt) quadriceps (front thighs), hamstrings and calves. Start with 10 minute farmer’s walk where every time you set the dumbbells down do 5 pushups or hold plank for ten seconds as practice.
You can start by lifting lighter weights until your body adjusts. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, hold a 20-pound dumbbell for each arm. Gradually increase the amount as time goes on and aim to lift half of what you weigh at some point down the line (100 pound per arm). Beginners choose to use dumbbells due to their availability and ease of use. As you advance, you can experiment with other variations to add difficulty. Repeat twice.
A good way to end your exercise is with a little bit of stretching. This will help prevent sore muscles and cramps from the activity you just did, so it’s always great to know what stretches are best for each part of the body!
Benefits of Farmer’s Carry Walk with Push Ups:
Farmer’s carry walks with push-ups are the perfect way to improve your grip strength and have a fun workout. The only thing you need is two dumbbells of varying weights, which can be found at most gyms or even ordered online for home workouts! To get started, find an open space in order to walk 10 steps away from each other while facing one another. Then select appropriately weighted dumbbells (start light!) on either side of your body before walking back towards them keeping good posture throughout. I suggest starting out by carrying both sets as far apart from start so that there’s less strain on the upper back muscles and then gradually bringing them closer together until they’re touching above head height when being carried .
Bending at the hips and knees, grasp dumbbells in each hand. Stand tall with shoulders back and core tight while walking forward for a desired amount of steps. Stop when you reach your destination to place down the dumbbells after maintaining neutral spine throughout movement so as not to injure yourself or others around you.
The farmer’s walk provides many benefits to the body. Farmers walks can improve cardiovascular health and endurance, as well as increase muscle strength and power in a full-body workout that targets muscles all over your body including quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, erectors upper back traps lats abs biceps triceps forearms hand muscles. It is an excellent addition or performed on its own for cardio if you do not have injuries. If you have injuries consult your doctor before doing it.
