Miriam Nelson, Ph.D., doesn't work with celebrities. Her clients are real women with real jobs, real families, and real bodies. She's also part of the prestigious committee of scientists and researchers that created the government's physical activity recommendations. That's why we tapped Nelson to develop an exclusive plan to put a firmer, slimmer body and better health within reach in as little as 10 minutes most days of the week.
"Many women think if they can't do an hour of exercise every day, they may as well do nothing," says Nelson. But you can see results with far less. Nelson should know—that's how she stays healthy: "There are plenty of days that I have just 10 minutes to fit in a walk. At least once during the week, I get in a run or bike ride. Then on the weekend, I exercise a lot more."
The best way to shorten your sessions is to boost the intensity, says Nelson. Research has found that a vigorous 20 minutes can melt 5 times more fat than a leisurely 40-minute workout—music to the ears of many 40-something women who find their waistlines expanding just as their free time is shrinking.

Our plan uses a point system based on the federal physical activity guidelines* that lets you exercise as much (or as little) as needed, based on your goal. You'll get a weekly point target, then you decide how to hit your mark. Simply pick from our customizable cardio and strength routines, plus a bonus list of calorie-torching activities. You'll lose inches all over, firm up, or reach your goal weight in no time. (Federal guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity, plus two or more strength workouts a week.
