The Lean Belly Workout
Pair these exercises with sensible eating, and celebrate your six-pack in 2011!
STRIP AWAY BODY FAT
If your goal entering the new year is to leave some lard behind, I applaud you. It's the single best thing you can do for your health. But once you've lost it, how do you keep it off? Here's what researchers at the University of Pittsburgh discovered in a recent study: Combining diet changes with exercise is the best way to succeed. Pair the workout below with this issue's "Pick Three to Get Lean" strategies from my Lean Belly Prescription, and your body fat doesn't stand a chance.
DIRECTIONS
This plan consists of two workouts, A and B. Alternate between the two workouts 3 days a week, resting a day between each session. For example, do Workout A on Monday and Friday, and Workout B on Wednesday. The following week, do the opposite.
Perform each workout as a circuit. That is, do one exercise after the other, resting as little as possible after doing the prescribed number of reps for each exercise. Once you've done all five exercises, that's one circuit. Catch your breath, and repeat the circuit two more times.
