Completing a Daily Ten-Minute Wonder Workout regularly will help to address the loss of muscle tone and poor circulation and potentially reduce bat wing arms, love handles and saddle bag buttocks for people over fifty.

As most of us are busy with work commitments, family life, community meetings, social engagements, grocery shopping, meal preparation, housework and so on, finding the time to do a targeted exercise session isn’t always easy.

If you are super busy, moderately busy or enjoying some laid-back time, going to the gym twice a week may not be your thing.

Suppose you would like to improve muscle definition and skin tone. In that case, it is important to regularly and consistently target muscles with the correct exercises to notice improvements and enjoy more strength and energy.

Scheduling a daily ten-minute Wonder Workout into your calendar will help to establish this worthwhile habit and discover your fit zone.

How to make this new practice achievable

Set aside a time of day that fits your daily schedule and lock it in

Find a clear space in your home where you can freely move around.
