Warm Up
Before you start the workout, please ensure you do some warm up for 5 mins. You can refer to this warm up exercise below 👇🏻.
Why Warm Up Is Important
Warming up before a 10-minute metabolic workout prepares your body for the task ahead and makes it ready to do physical exertion. A proper warm up increases blood flow, heart rate, and body temperature. It also enhances overall performance and reduces the risk of injury. Furthermore, it can also boost metabolism, optimize calorie burning, and contribute to a more enjoyable and effective workout experience.
Exercise Movements
This 10-minute metabolic workout has only 4 exercise movements. You need to do 3 sets of these exercises. Each movement is performed for 30 reps with 10 seconds rest before doing the next set. Remember, you have to do 3 sets for each movement.
30 x Star Jump
30 x High Knee
30 x Butt Kick
30 x Hand Touching The Floor
Pls watch video below 👇🏻 for a quick demo :
How To Do Star Jump
When you do Star Jump, start by standing on your feet with your arms at your sides. Jump into the air and make a star shape by spreading your legs wide and raising your arms over your head. Gently land back in the beginning position and then repeat.
How To Do High Knee
High Knee is an easy to perform exercise movement yet very powerful. To start, stand on your feet with your legs apart, arms at your sides. Then, thrust your opposing arm upward and lift one knee as high as you can toward your chest, while quickly switching between your legs in a running motion.
How To Do Butt Kick
From the name itself, butt kick is simply kicking your butt. To start, stand on your feet, with your arms at your back. Then, raise one heel as close to your glutes as you can. With every repeat, try to kick your heels toward your buttocks while keeping your pace quick throughout the workout.
How To Do Hand Touching The Floor
This is another exercise movement that is easy to follow along with. Begin by standing upright with your arms at your sides. Next, drop your torso toward the floor by bending your knees slightly and hinge at the hips. Maintaining a straight back, extend your hands towards the floor, intending to touch it for as low as you can.

Cool Down
Just as how important it is to do a warm up before starting the workout routine, a proper cool down after an intense 10-minute metabolic workout is imperative.
You can refer to this cool down exercise below 👇🏻.
Why Cool Down Is Important
Just as it is very important to start a workout routine with a proper warm up, cool down is also imperative. Cooling down after an intense 10-minute metabolic workout helps aid muscle recovery. It also allows blood flow to return to resting levels and gradually lowers heart rate, preventing fainting or dizziness. Furthermore, it also facilitates a more seamless transition from exercise to rest, prevents blood pooling in the limbs, and enhances the elimination of metabolic waste products like lactic acid, all of which add to the general comfort and wellbeing following a workout.
