     Unique Lean-Body Workouts for Time-Crunched People: Super-Fast "Multi-Work outs" to try and do at Home or the Office

Warning: this method of workout is WAY different than anything you've ever tried before and may result in a dramatically leaner, stronger body so that your friends no longer recognize you in a matter of weeks!

Alright, I exaggerated in relation to your friends recognizing you, though this workout is though great for busy people that all the time use the excuse that they don't have time to go to the gym, or even for the normal gym rat to try out for some weeks to break out of a plateau.

Please keep an open-mind and don't worry so much about what other people assume, because this is quite different and you may get a couple of funny looks, though you'll get the last laugh with your new rock hard body! To be honest, a large amountof the people are too self conscious to try something such as this. If that's the case for you, in that case that's your loss.

Here's how it works (these exercises can be done at home or even in your office):

Instead of doing your traditional exercises of going to the gym 3-4 times a week and doing your normal weight training and cardio routines for 45-60 minutes at a shot... with this program, you will be working out for just a couple minutes at a time, several times throughout each day, 5 days/week.

The program will consist of only bodyweight work outs done for regarding 2-3 minutes, 6-8 times per day, throughout each day. Now obviously if you work a normal office job, you are going to have to not be shy concerning doing a few workouts in your office and having your cube-mates watch you. Really, I've found that some people that have tried this have in fact gotten their co-workers to join them!

If you have a private office, then you don't have to worry about anybody watching you. If you work from home, or are a stay at home mom, there's no reason you can't fit these in throughout the day while at home. If you end up having a busy day with meetings and so forth, and can only fit some these 2-minute workouts in, in that case so be it, yet try to get as many done each day as you can.

If you're concerning a normal 9-5 office schedule, I recommend doing your 2-minute workouts every hour, about the hour, with the exception of lunch. For example, you could try 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, and 4 pm.

A few of their bodyweight work outs which are the best to focus regarding are:

* bodyweight squats (and variations)
* pushups (and variations)
* forward, reverse, or walking lunges
* up & down a staircase if one is available
* floor planks (holding the plank position from forearms and feet)
* floor abs work outs such as lying leg thrusts, ab bicycles, etc.
* one-legged bodyweight Romanian deadlifts

This list is not fully comprehensive, but I wanted to keep it relatively simple. If you tell other good bodyweight work outs, you can add those to your routine also. If you want to keep it real simple and don't want to get down on the floor for anything, you can stick to squats, lunges, and pushups and yet get great results.

The good thing about these work outs is that you do enough in 2-3 minutes to get your blood pumping, heart rate up a bit, a large portion of your body's muscles worked, and body temperature raised. But, it's by and large not enough to break a sweat in only 2 or 3 minutes, so you don't have to worry regarding sweating in the office or where ever you might be. At mos, you might just get a bit moist on the skin.

Here's an example workout routine at home or the office (adjust the reps up or down based concerning your capabilities):

Mon/Wed/Fri
9 am - 10 pushups/15 bodyweight squats, repeat 1X for 2 sets
10 am - plank holds (hold the planks as long as you can taking short rest breaks for a total of 3 minutes)
11 am - 5 pushups/10 bodyweight squats, repeat for 4 sets
1 pm - plank holds (hold as long as probable in 3 minutes)
2 pm - 8 pushups/12 bodyweight squats, repeat for 3 sets
3 pm - plank holds (hold as long as probable in 3 minutes)
4 pm - max pushups/max bodyweight squats in one set (no repeat)

Tues/Thurs
9 am - 6 fwd lunges each leg/6 rev lunges, repeat 1X for 2 sets
10 am - one legged bw Romanian deadlifts (RDL) 6 each leg/floor abs for 20 sec, repeat 1X for 2 sets
11 am - 3 fwd lunges each leg/3 rev lunges, repeat for 4 sets
1 pm - one legged bw RDL 3 each leg/floor abs for 20 sec, repeat for 4 sets
2 pm - 5 fwd lunges each leg/5 rev lunges, repeat for 3 sets
3 pm - one legged bw RDL 10 each leg/floor abs for 30 sec (no repeat)
4 pm - max fwd lunges each leg/max rev lunges in one set (no repeat)

In order to progress in relation to these work outs, you could either add 1 or 2 reps to each set per week, or you could progress to more difficult versions of each exercise each week (for example, close grip pushups, one leg raised pushups, squats with arms raised straight over head, etc.).

The above routines are just a couple examples of how you can use this very unique type of training. Use your creativity and come up with your own. Assume about what you've accomplished with these "mini" workouts completed throughout each day... You've increased your heart rate and pumped up your muscles 6-8 different times throughout each day, burning a lot of extra calories and stimulating your metabolism.

Even still each "mini" workout was a very short duration, you've accumulated lots of repetitions for more or less every muscle throughout your entire body, and you didn't even have to break a sweat during any of their "mini" work outs. And there's hardly any excuse for not being able to take a 2-minute break once per hour and do a few exercises.

Another benefit of this sort of training is that now you don't have to devote any time before or after work to going to the gym because you already got your exercises little by little throughout the day. You've now got a few extra free time regarding your hands!

Try this kind of time-efficient workout routine out for 3-4 weeks and in that case go back to your normal gym routines. I feel you'll look for that it was a great way to break out of a plateau and stimulate new results in your body. You can try mixing in a cycle of these "mini" work outs every couple of months to keep things fresh.

Keep in mind that this is only one type of training and doesn't mean that you should only stick to this method for eternity. You will hit a plateau about any given training method, so I'd recommend just rotating it into your arsenal of various training methods. And by all means, don't worry so much regarding what other people assume...have the courage to try something a bit different. In the end, you'll be the one laughing back at all of the "blubber-bellies" at your office that are giving you funny looks while they eat their donuts!
