    If you plan the workout correctly you can get a great workout, although it does depend on goals. If your goals are endurance sport based then 10 mins is obviously not enough.

    Personally I workout using weights (HIT style) once every 5-7 days and my workout lasts no more than 15-20 mins. Body fat is controlled by my diet so for the purpose of building a muscular low body fat physique that serves me well.

    Jump rope, run stairs or do HIIT for 10 mins and you'all get a great workout.

    Do they actually work?

    I've found some on Youtube earlier :

    and I thought they looked good but then I was like "It's ONLY 10 minutes, would it have much effect?"
    I wanna do 1 each day so it would only be 70 minutes over a week, and that definitely doesn't seem enough.

    So I was wondering if any of you people have some good experiences (or bad) with videos like these, I'd really like to hear your guys' opinion!

    Your ten minute workouts are good like others are saying to do more then one a day throughout the day and the best things are to pick one that works the whole body then depending on your trouble areas like abs, arms, or legs. Go from there. I do a full body in the morning before work, crunchless abs and a mild or high intensity body workout during lunch so when I get off of work my body is ready to hit the gym. These videos are great for jump starting your exercising routine. Sparkpeople has some great ones and fitness Blender has some great ones that include a stretch and a cool down in their videos.

    i have a 10 minute video (as my lack of time) that i try to do twice a day. . . and ive already dropped 3 pounds. . i do it once in the morning before i put food in my stomach so the fat burns faster and an hour after i eat dinner. followed by a glass of water and it seems to be working well for me. everyone is different and you'll never know until you try. dont base it off of what other people say and or their results. . .everyone achieves results differently.

    Typically you should get at least 30 minutes a day in exercise. . . but if you cant, 10 minutes is better then not doing anything!
