You get a very brief maybe 30 second warm up at the beginning of each 10 minute workout and a stretch of maybe 1 minute at the end. Well, not in 10 Minute Solution! You do 16 tabata drills–one right after the other for 8 minutes! No rest except the 10 second recovery after the 20 second HIIT. Before you do you another tabata you have a brief recovery of approx. Each drill is made up of 20 seconds of all out HIIT (high intensity interval training) and 10 seconds of recovery. Let me give you a quick breakdown of how tabata generally works. But I can see this was necessary to fit an intense workout into 10 minutes. These are tabata HIITs, but done differently than the normal tabata protocol.

And I am loving it! It is led by a female trainer who never gives her name.

So on that memory, when I saw 10 Minute Solution had come out with a HIIT collection, I snapped it up. They actually pack a punch in 10 minutes. In memory, some of them are not as easy as you would expect for a 10 minute workout. And they have some pretty good ones that I have forgotten about over the years. In fact, prior to my discovering Beachbody workout programs and then Cathe, the 10 Minute Solution was my primary source of add ons. At the end of a longer workout, it was a great way to add on a long stretch, or some ab work or pilates or even a short cardio burst. In fact, it was this specific 10 minute yoga workout that was the initial “pull” to continue acquiring 10 Minute Solution workouts. I still own that one and still return to the 10 minute yoga section on occasion for a nice stretch. I honestly cannot recall what inspired me to purchase my first 10 Minute Solution, but it was their very first one led by one of my favorite trainers, Michelle Dozois. Before I get to the review for this specific DVD, I’m going to share a little background about me and 10 Minute Solution workouts.

I don’t know how many will ever be reviewed on this blog but I do own them and have no intention of getting rid of them. Believe it or not I own a ton of these DVDs. 10 Minute Solution has moved into the HIIT arena with their High Intensity Interval Training.
