10 Minute Trainer is a bit more geared to getting toned and losing weight as opposed to really gaining mass. If you’re looking for a slightly less time consuming workout that also focuses on lifting heavy you may want to look into the new ChaLean Extreme program. Please see the following link:

While P90X will often have you doing about an hour and twenty minutes of working out (on days with Ab Ripper X) the ChaLean Extreme Routines range from about 32-45 min tops, and it’s a heck of a workout. For more details follow that link. Good luck!

I am using P90X at the moment because my main purpose is to gain mass. I am under weight and therefore am doing the P90X workouts, however some days I have no time and end up not working out. I saw the 10 minute trainer workout and thought I can get a fast workout while getting results. Is there a way to do the 10 minute workout and have it help me gain mass as well?

Thanks

Yes this is really one of the best workouts we offer and perfectly suited to beginners. You can really take it at your own pace. You can start by doing 10 minutes a day and work your way up to 20 to 30 minutes a day by stacking on additional workouts to your daily routine outlined in the included workout calendar.

But don’t let the sound of 10 minutes fool you, these 10 minute routines are very active. So if you find it’s a little tough in the beginning you can always go at your own pace. There are modified moves which are illustrated in the video which are less intense and you can limit your reps and opt to not use the resistance bands until you’re ready.

10 Minute Trainer is a great way to make fitness a part of your life and is highly recommended for beginners and people with busy schedules.

Feel free to give it a try and if you find you’re not quite ready for it you can always send it back under our 30 day money back guarantee.

The marketing efforts for 10 Minute Trainer definitely target the busy mom but, 10 Minute Trainer is certainly not exclusively for women. The program is new and we are getting orders everyday from both women and men. It’s also worth mentioning that the nutrition guide is flexible and based on your body type, and the included measurement tracker for instance, caters to both men and women.

The main thing to keep in mind is that 10 Minute Trainer has a focus on losing weight and getting toned. While programs like P90X for example focus on losing weight and building more muscle mass. Will you get “absolutely ripped” with 10 Minute Trainer like you would with P90X? No, but you will get into great shape and you won’t have to spend an hour or more everyday to get there.

Also we’d recommend opting for the “Heavy” resistance bands for the 10 Minute trainer standard, upgrade or deluxe kits as they are better suited for men. Hope this helps clarify, let us know if we can help out in any other way!

I’m sure the 10 minute workout is a doable, compact exercise system, that if used consistently, will yield results. However, the more I read about it, the more it would seem the system was designed specifically for women. The pictures, along with key words found in the promotional material, such ‘mom’, ‘kids’, ‘husband’, seem to be saying, guys stay away.

So let me ask you, is this system suitable for men as well as women?

Thanks,
