Is 10 Minutes Of Exercise Enough to Lose Weight? Science Says YES!

Fitness Expert for the Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge, Marissa Nieves, lets us know how we can still benefit from exercise when we only have a short amount of time available to do it.

“I don’t have time” is the most common excuse not to exercise

Lack of free time is one of the most frequently mentioned issues when people are asked what prevents them from exercising. “In the past, “I don’t have time” was a simple reason for not exercising. However, interestingly, scientists are now testing the validity of this excuse and it is proving to be quite inaccurate!” Science is now showing that even as little as 10-15 minutes of exercise per day can be enough, not only to lose weight and tone up but to improve overall fitness and health also. Instead of longer exercise periods, shorter bursts of high-intensity exercises are becoming highly favourable among trainers and athletes alike. In numerous scientific studies, shorter and higher intensity workouts are showing a marked increase in not only the number of calories burned, but are also showing improved blood flow, circulation, metabolism, sleep patterns and mood. A new study from the team at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology suggests that just 10 minutes of high-intensity exercise could be enough to keep us fit and healthy. During the study, participants in both groups showed an increase in oxygen uptake (the amount of oxygen the body utilises during exercise). Blood pressure, glucose levels, cholesterol and body fat also lowered by similar amounts in both groups. Scientists have very quickly shown us that time may no longer be an issue for those wishing to create positive health or bodily changes through exercise and in fact, even short periods of exercise every day can have life-changing results. Numerous studies such as these coming out of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are proving that we no longer need to take on long, tiresome workouts. Instead, we could save ourselves some time and energy, reap all the health rewards for our efforts and more through a shorter, more intense training regime.

Why is losing 15 pounds so hard?

When you lose a lot of weight, about a quarter of weight loss comes from muscle if you don't include a strength-training component to your workout routine. This helps explain why those last few pounds are so hard to lose. Your metabolism has slowed down and, therefore, you're burning fewer calories at rest.

Weight loss is tricky in that multiple factors play into how much weight is lost, how quickly it comes off and for how long the weight loss is maintained. To successfully lose a sizeable amount of weight, a person needs to be committed to significant long-term lifestyle changes. The goal is to create a caloric deficit so that fewer calories are eaten than are expended. With about 3500 calories in a pound, a 500-calorie deficit each day through decreased food intake and increased physical activity leads to about a one-pound weight loss per week – initially. By simply making relatively minor lifestyle changes [like cutting out that 20oz bottle of soda everyday (250 calories)] and taking the 45-minute, 2.5 mile walk each day (about 250 calories), you could drop a few pounds early on with little difficulty. But after a few weeks to months and several pounds later, continued weight loss becomes much more difficult. A good analogy when considering the trials and tribulations of trying to lose significant amounts of weight is to compare weight loss to competing in a marathon. For those readers who have never participated in a marathon, and perhaps have no desire to ever do so, here are just a few basic pieces of information that you need for this analogy to make sense. The marathon principles are followed by a description of what each point has to do with losing those last 10 pounds. (Disclaimer: these are just generalizations that may not apply to every runner or person trying to lose weight.)
