The Micro-Workout Plan : Get the Body You Want Without the Gym in 15 Minutes or Less a Day

Aesop was right: slow and steady does win the race. With almost three decades in the fitness industry under his belt, fitness guru Tom Holland coined a phrase that describes this strategy: excessive moderation. Science supports that approach; recent studies have proven that exercising for five minutes six times a day is as effective as exercising for half an hour once a day. There's no special trick to it. Focus on quality and consistency to find your sweet spot and make that the primary theme of your exercise routine. Discover what you love and do that often, while dabbling in other exercises to challenge your body and mind. Focus on quality and consistency. This book which features exercises and routines at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels shows you how to do just that. It is motivating yet manageable, challenging yet fun and, best of all, it works. Download Directly from Usenet. Sign up now to get Two Weeks of Free Downloads! Ditch the gym!
