Inhaltsangabe

Based on the successful video franchise from Prevention, Fit in 10 is a plan for even the busiest woman: exercise for 10 minutes per day and prep clean recipes in 10 minutes or less.

Most women already know, more or less, what they should be doing to keep their bodies healthy and strong. Eat right, work out, and be mindful—but who really has the time for all of that when work is crazy, the kids are waiting for dinner, and there just aren’t enough hours in the day? It turns out, you don’t need hours: just 10 minutes!

Based on cutting-edge research and designed for real women, the 60-day Fit in 10 plan offers proven results without endless hours at the gym or cooking elaborate meals. Working out for just 10 minutes per day and spending 10 minutes or less creating healthy, delicious meals will result in a faster metabolism, slimmer waistline, reduced pain, and overall improved health and mood.

Fit in 10 is a lifestyle, not a diet. Prevention has developed this program to help you boost your commitment to a healthy, active life. The book includes a 10-day clean-eating jumpstart meal plan; 85 healthful, delicious recipes; and a 60-day training plan to help you form new exercise and eating habits that will improve your health and tone and tighten your body. The 10-minute “Life Changers” throughout the book encourage and empower you to prioritize yourself and stay on track to meet those goals long past the first 60 days.

Life is Complicated. Fit in 10 is Simple.
 
“i’m healthier, i have so much more energy, and for the first time in a very long time, I’m finally showing up for my life again,” says the woman standing in front of me. The 59-year-old New Yorker barely resembles the person that I met just 60 days earlier. She’s lighter now, and not just physically.
 
When I first met Lori Lowell, she was exhausted. Desperate to feel better, she had applied to be part of the Fit in 10: Slim & Strong—for Life! test panel. It wasn’t just the long hours she put in at work. Her job as an office manager of a medical office was taxing, and the 12-hour days didn’t leave her much time for herself, but for the most part, she enjoyed it.
 
No, it wasn’t work. It was everything else. First, she was physically run down. She hadn’t gotten a decent night’s sleep in months. Her back ached so badly that every time she turned over in bed, the pain woke her. She’d always struggled with her weight, but she’d never been this heavy before. The last time she got on a scale, the number she saw—190 pounds—shocked her. It was too much for her 5-foot-6 frame. Plus, ever since she turned 50 and the hormonal storm hit, she wasn’t just carrying it in her hips and thighs. Now, it had settled around her belly, making it much harder for her to do the gardening she enjoyed and to find clothes that fit.
 
On top of feeling physically awful, Lori was mentally drained. Her younger sister, Donna, was battling brain cancer, her father-in-law was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, and she and her husband, Ken, were still trying to get two of their three kids through college. It was just too much.
 
“I’m so sick of feeling overwhelmed and out of shape,” she’d told me. “I need to make a change that’s actually sustainable.”
 
10-Minute Transformations
My heart ached for Lori during that initial conversation; I understood the very real hurdles she was up against. But I also felt hopeful for her, because I knew there was a simple solution that would help her turn around her health and get back in shape in just minutes a day.
 
Over the last 3 years, Fit in 10 has empowered thousands of busy women to lose the stubborn weight that was slowly eroding their health and stealing their joy. Without dieting. Without punishing their bodies with ridiculously tough workouts.
 
I never grow tired of seeing someone’s face light up when she learns that she doesn’t have to suffer through miserable diets or torturous exercise to feel good in and at peace with her body. That moment when she realizes she can enjoy amazing food while living the life she wants in the healthy body she needs. When the cloud lifts and she gives me a hug, her eyes bright, and she says, “Thank you. For everything.” I squeeze her back, feeling humbled and lucky to have met another Fit in 10 soul sister who inspires me to continue to prioritize my own health and wellness.
 
If you’re reading this book, you probably know how exhausting it is to feel uncomfortable in your body or to think constantly about your weight and stress over what, exactly, you should be eating. You also know how crummy it is to feel guilty about missing yet another workout. The truth is, most of us already have a general understanding of what we should be doing to stay healthy and strong—eat better, move more—but we get lost in the details and overwhelmed by “How in the world am I ever going to find the energy or time to do it all?”
 
I know, because I’ve been there, too.
 
A Desire for Something Easier
The idea for Fit in 10 started brewing when I began to realize that my time-crunched life was only going to get busier. Here I was, the fitness director of Prevention, blessed with an abundance of wonderful opportunities to do a job I believed in and loved, and yet I was struggling to find a way to fit in all of the good stuff I knew I was supposed to be doing. I spent most of my days parked in front of a computer and most nights, after walking in the door after 7 p.m., scrambling to get a clean meal on the table before falling into bed and doing it all over again the next day.
 
It was also getting harder and harder to squeeze in my daily runs and twice-a-week yoga classes, let alone get to the strength-training workouts I knew my body and metabolism needed to stay strong and youthful. Every expert I spoke to and countless new studies backed the importance of lifting weights, and I wrote and edited numerous stories for Prevention on why every woman needed to be doing more of it. Still, while I made it to the occasional boot-camp class, I was largely part of the 80 percent of American women who weren’t strength training regularly.1
 
When I hit my mid-thirties and my body started to lose tone and feel achier, I promised myself over and over that this would be the week when I was finally going to start making strength training a priority. Then, reality would set in and I’d be crushed by a wave of deadlines, e-mails, and millions of other little must-dos, and my goal to get stronger and leaner would be washed away. I remember thinking to myself, “I don’t even have kids yet. This is only going to get harder!”
 
As someone who struggled with weight in the past, I wasn’t about to let my health and fitness slide backward (you can read more about my “aha moment” on page 22). I had to find a doable solution, one that I could share with every woman who was in a similar struggle. So, I started to wonder, “What’s the littlest amount of strength training someone could do each day and see a major difference in her strength and body?” After diving into the research and chatting with some of the top experts in the field, I eventually settled on 10 minutes—the time you could find, say, right before you hop into the shower or while dinner cooks in the oven. Research conveys that 10 minutes of simple movement can make a huge difference in everything from your mood to your metabolism (see page 4 for more). But I chose 10 minutes mostly because I believed it was truly doable. Because if it wasn’t simple, there was no way I was going to fit it into my busy life.
 
When I brought the concept of Fit in 10 to my team at Prevention, they loved the idea of such a simple plan, and the wheels were set in motion. After creating the workouts with trainer Larysa DiDio, we tested my fitness hypothesis with real women in the real world. We were shocked by how quickly 10 minutes of metabolism-revving strength training could transform one’s body and health when paired with simple, clean eating. We saw it work with women of all ages and fitness levels, whether it was someone like Lori, who needed to ease back into exercise, or someone like me, who needed to add in regular strength training to break through a plateau.
 
Over the last few years, we’ve created two successful fitness DVDs—Fit in 10: Total-Body Transformation and Fit in 10: 30-Day Belly Fix—that have helped women get fit right at home, in just 10 minutes a day. While the workouts were tremendously effective, I kept hearing one very important question from our Fit in 10 community: When are you going to make clean eating as simple as the 10-minute workouts?
 
Making Good Food Simple
The result is the book you are now holding in your hands. Fit in 10: Slim & Strong—for Life! is the first Fit in 10 program that combines new 10-minute toning routines...
