Fast Workouts For Toning The Entire Body
I find home exercise DVDS the perfect choice to slot into my busy day.
Opposed to home gym equipment they are a much cheaper option.
Great for motivation and support opposed to attempting to strategize a routine on your own.

At least nearly everyone can find 10 minutes to slot into a busy day to workout with these excellent DVDS targeted for fast fat burning and overall body toning benefits. Whether you prefer a quick energy blast and maximising your heart-rate with a more cardiovascular workout or a slower pace with a pilate or stretch routine is entirely up to you.
If burning fat and overall tone is your major aim these workouts are perfect for you. They work all major muscle groups of the body in minimum time and effort. You could try combining an over-all body work out with a routine for a specific body part by doing each on alternate days.
For example you could do an overall body workout on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with an effective arm workout Tuesdays and Thursdays if your goal is to achieve incredibly sculpted arms.

Oh wow alekhouse best of luck with it. Hang in there. I have added the quick arm workout to my other workout each day am having heaps fun.
Thanks for the information. Nice hub.
Great hub on exercising/stretching! All important stuff! Thanks BP!
Sweet, Mademoiselle poetess!
Certainly practical to keep up with the routine. Detailed and easy to follow! I loved it! Thumbs up and Stumbled Upon!
warmest regards and infinite blessings,
Al
Really nice hub with great information Blonde. It's not only good for people with little time to exercise, it's good for people who don't MAKE time for exercise! Well done!
Thanks so much sandySpider :)
Hiya Candie you know I always love to see you. :)
Mystique you are a really sweet charmer I just love it.
Thanks so much Ann, you know every little bit helps as long as we are doing something :) :)
I see are taking on the less controversial art of physical education, and although I always hoped to save that kind of training for a one-on-one classroom with you BP - it really is a well thought out article. But here's the thing - I am not very inclined towards exercise but do keep in shape naturally with healthy diet and just walking etc. I think somoeone needs to invent a routine that is not so fast, one day I was trying one of those high impact super-cardo quick burning carb aerobic studio classes, the music was racing at a break neck house beat, I was surrounded by a hundered half dressed women, everyone in front of mirrors sweating and jumping around so fast, that I tried to focus on the girl in front of me - well long story short I fell into a trance went out of my body, and collapsed face first into the line of women. And hit my head on the floor.
It was unpleasant, they just rolled me up in blanket and locked me up in the broom closet. I don't think tha was very student like or professional.
I am looking for a super slow long drawn out workout, and maybe some asprin...Can you help?
very informative and relevant in today's fast pace world!!
Great weight exercises. They need to ride their bikes more though. If they would ride for 32 minutes a day they would be as beautiful as I am. What? Have you seen me in the dark? I can be quite fetching from 100 meters away!
Very good hub, something for EVERYONE, no matter how busy. Definitely a thumbs UP!
Haha Blakey oh that must have been torture for you in a exercise class with so many half undressed women in leotards. I have a specific routine just for you, did you know? The only problem is you will have to book a consultation with the nurse for the specific details. :)
Thanks a million Dream for popping by to have a squiz at my article. :)
Oh Micky I do totally agree but that is a long workout. I will have to write a hub entitled "Look As Spunky As Micky In 10 Days", lol.
Thank-you so much Paradise it was lovely to see you. Thanks a million for taking time out to come and have a look.
Hi BP: You've laid it out very clearly and thoroughly. Should inspire many to begin a workout regimen. Well done!
Oh thanks Christoph your praise always means everything to me. We have to catch up you know :)
You've given a lot of good reasons to exercise, and it's definitively true that we can have a good training even with little time. So no more excuses. :)
Rated up and stumbled. :)
Hey there hypnodude, thanks a million for coming by and for the stumble. You are the bees knees :
Haha BC oh heck I do not mind at all. You are grinding, squating, pumping, hey that is what exercise is all about. Does err Deb like prawns too LMAO?
Okay, so these workouts may not be for me, I'll support you no matter what, BP! (I do get a work out from running away from ugly chicks, however! Just kidding). I can see why Madonna's still in great shape, so yes, she's certainly doing something right! Thanks, BP.
Hey Dohn you are being modest, you probably have a whole herd running after you, you little honey bee you. Thanks so much for coming by, love seeing you. :)
honestly THANK YOU i am so about to print this out and as a side note must confess I have not been able to get to emails yet but will soon, so sorry hospitals and doctors you my friendly nurse know much about :)
OK thank you again for a really helpful hub, for me anyway, I really need to focus on these areas and you've made it actually inviting to do so, that and I always love the way you write
Love ya
Kimberly
Oh Kimberley so cool to hear from you. I am so glad you are back and that everything is ok. Yes being a nursey know a bit about all these things lol. Aww am thrilled you liked the hub, doing my bit for health week, hehe.
Good to see you too beautiful. I'm just here part time but am putting my health first miss nurse. I'll be back that's for sure - btw - just hit thumbs up again lol don't know how many that makes now lol
cheers love
Thanks so much Lyrics. Yes your health comes before anything. That is for sure. It is just so good to see your lovely face pop up again my dear friend. xoxo
You've fired me up. I shall have to start - tomorrow perhaps. Nice Hub. Thanks.
Lol thanks Garlic I am glad I got you all reved up. Cheers!!!
i love that "5 Minute Arms" video. i thought i knew all the arm workouts, but i didn't. thanks for this great info. seriously, these are good to do alone or in addition to walking or biking.
Oh me too Cosette I do that 5min arm workout everyday in addition to what I am doing. It is great. :)
very nice idea blonde, thumbs up again as usual, BTW, I want a soft butt, just kidding, thank you, Maita
Hiya Pretty a soft butt or sore butt, LMAO. :)
I don't know if I want to have Madonna's arms or not (most likely not!), but I am all for a great ab workout! Great hub as always, BP! Bravo, Bravo!
Hi there Dre my little sweetpea. Nothing like a strong set of abs I say lol. Thank-you you are the sweetest. :)
I find hot steamy lovemaking works for me, did I tell ya I had a thing for blonde nurses ; ) x
Did I tell you TG I have a strong desire for tattoo guys. :)
Im in! I especially love the Madonna Arms workout! Great motivation here . . and just in time as I need to take off that extra layer I seem to have acquired this winter . .I am just hoping this 5 minutes of doable exercise turns into another 5 and then another 5....
Big Thumbs (and my big butt) UP!
Yes I have been doing that one WG. Oh and I must say your new avatar is so cool. LMAO..big butt..I bet it is not as big as you think lol. ;)
Another great hub BP, my butt and legs need a workout before the summer for sure and your right everyone can spare 10 minutes. Thanks for the great ideas. :)
Lol thanks heaps wren, good luck with your butt exercises I am sure you will whip it into shape in no time :)
I appreciate about the post natal moms workout, cool,
Thanks so much alexandria gee mum's are just amazing, I reckon they have the most rewarding hard working jobs in the world. :)
All your tips are excellent! I was working an exercise program that toned 80 pounds away and the results were nothing less than spectacular. A lot of my technique was developed by me and a handful of trainers, but I began by setting a starting date and armed myself with a cardboard box that I filled up with everything bad for me from the shelves and fridge. By the time my workout date arrived, it was a treat instead of torture and I went from flab to fab, but not without hard work. My biggest obstacle was my mindset about 'not having enough time,' which is only a lie to yourself about whether you are worthy of being and staying in great shape - own your body AND your mind so that you believe that you ARE worth it! ;-)
Oh mwatkins wow I really admire you for what you did. Isn't it just amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it. I would have loved to have seen a before and after picture. Wow you are an inspiration woo hoo!!!!! You have great spirit too :) :)
I am always looking for new workout ideas. This is very thorough, thank you for the wonderful research and help to us all. My best.
Thanks a million Ladybird, yes a bit unlike my normal hubs, the contest certainly inspired me. :)
BP dear, you know I am ready for quickies of any kind! :)
wow..this is really nice hub.I enjoyed reading and now days I am trying few exercises given.
Hey Logic wow two great minds think alike. I thought you would approve of my little quickie number. Woo hoo!!!!
Hi there Norwin thanks so much for popping by. Have a great day!!!
OMG! I have the 10-Minute Solution Yoga -- it is the best! I love that tape -- I feel so relaxed and yet, feel like I got a REAL workout, great read!
Oh wow ceholmes how amazing you have it. What a small world it really is. :)
This is a great hub, blondepoet, I was just thinking the other day that I need to add weights and start doing arm curls; you've provided good videos to start doing such workouts. Rating back up for you. :)
Thanks so much MG a pity we weren't neighbors we could work out together. :)
Time is something that everyone needs more of. Great tips!
Hey there R.A so glad you liked it, have a bonza day. :)
I'm a senior with only a "little time" left, but have a lot of activities I can still do with freedom. Exercising my legs is my great concern, to reverse nerve damages. I have painful peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Toning my body to ease my weight helps. Great health tips the videos offer. Thanks!
Thankyou so much Lita for coming by. Oh I send my deepest wishes and hope things there improve for you. I love your spirit despite the pain you must feel. :)
Great idea to split the routines into different body areas to target.
Gee thanks Jon I really appreciate you swinging by. :)
I love Love LOVE this! I have a ball and use it with my Yoga mat for traction to work out in my tv room while watching tv, it keeps me super fit working extra work outs into the day when I normally would not. great tips and thanks for the quick workouts for people with little time. Peace :)

Oh Katie thanks for the imput, I have used a ball too. Aren't they just fabulous. No wonder you look so darn good. Thanks heaps for coming by.
Hahaha epig well we all know they are the ultimate and the best workout in the world, and the most fun, I guess all these exercises come second on the list LMAO.
..well then I've come back for a 'quickie' ..... and a little love and respect from someone I adore ......
I love your quickies epig. You can knock on my door anytime. :)
....I would raise my flag for you any time of day or night ......
And I would be singing Advance Australia Fair to 'You sexy thing'.
....and I would be singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music" (by Rodgers, Hammerstein and Epigramman)......and isn't that what sing when you're in love ........
Haha oh what a classic "the sound of music", oh you are so sweer epig. I am sure we could hit those notes.
Remember Dancing to the Oldies? A lot of peeps lost weight using that. Great hub

Thanks a million Journey go get those Madonna arms :)
..I was so damned excited to hear from you once again my most favorite nurse of all time - that I thought this hub was called QUICKIE WORKOUTS FOR PEOPLE WITH LITTLE TIME - and then I thought I could never ever have a quickie with any one of your hubs let alone with you - it must be long and moving and powerful and meaningful and quality with quantity - well you know just the way I HAVE ALWAYS felt about you as a writer, a hubber and of course a completely beautiful woman (that you most certainly are) ....sending you warm wishes and good energy from your male admirer and hub colleague - he just arrived home from night shift at lake erie time ontario canada 6:49am and at 7:00am something magical happens - the daybreak comes up over my lake.
oh epig lovely as usual to hear from you. Oh boy you give me a big head everytime. Aghh my nurse cap is popping off. Haha quickies caught your attention oh good on you. They are always handy especially if you have to go shop, eat your hamburger or paint your toenails lol. Love u heaps x
Great hub. I've been doing a lot with kettlebells lately, and I love it!
Oh good on you maximizer great to hear from someone who is right into it. Have a great day.
Wow! Those are tons of great advises to follow. I always look for great ways to fit my exercise and do the moves to keep me healthy and fit and I also came across this video that helped me to even work out despite my very hectic schedule. http://marieforleo.com/2012/01/no-time-to-work-out
