I've been exercising every morning lately (pushups and situps), and am looking for ways to optimize my morning routine without it taking too much time.
So, where can I find good tips on a morning ten-minute exercise routine, that doesn't require any special equipment? Preferably from a credible source.
I'm not trying to lose weight (I'm pretty skinny as is), just to be healthy.
(I found some tips here, but it's a bit more than what I want to do right now, and requires a Gym)
There are five essential movements: Push (pushup), pull (pullup), squat, hip hinge (single leg deadlift), and weighted carry. If you can find some way to incorporate all of this into your training, then you'll have a totally balanced training routine.
Alternating squats+pushups with deadlifts+pullups and walking with a weighted backpack or vest will hit almost all of the bases with minimal time and equipment.
