20 Ways to Burn 100 Calories in 10 Minutes

Saw this quick article today and thought it might be helpful for busy bees..

"People often say that they don't have time to exercise, but I disagree. Everyone can spare 10 minutes a day to work out. One of my personal goals is to do something active every day, even if it's just for 10 minutes. So even on my busiest days, I won't make excuses. And I definitely won't convince myself that 10 minutes is too little to really matter. Ten minutes DOES matter—and it really does add up to big benefits for your body. If all you only did 10 minutes of exercise per day, that's 70 minutes and potentially 700+ calories that you could burn over the course of a week.

So when you're short on time and can only muster a short workout, intensity is key. Work harder for the most benefit and the biggest calorie burn for your buck. Really make those minutes count! Here are tons of workouts that burn around 100 calories (or more) in just 10 minutes, while also strengthening your heart and lungs and helping your blast stress. Now THAT is a worthwhile way to spend a few minutes of your time. "

Here's to wishing there was something that could be done at the office that would burn at the same rate haha! Oh well - leg lifts and "low" energy activities it is!

I am extremely busy b/c I work full time and am also in law school. So I have found workouts that I can do with kettlebells that take me 6 minutes and leave me wanting to die.

Here is one routine:
