This is a 2 day full body workout aimed at those individuals wanting fat loss and muscle tone. This routine was put to the test and after 4 weeks the clients actually loss fat (some 8 to 9 pounds) while gaining lean muscle mass (some 8 to 12 pounds).
The routine is designed for NO rest time in between exercises with 5 minute cardio sessions. Toughness of the routine will depend on the intensity of reps and cardio performed.
For optimal results, one should add cardio in an additional 2 days a week and be on a calorie deficient diet.

Notes For This Workout:
Typical heart-rate should be 75-85% of max heart-rate. This is a tough routine, so start yourself off easy and increase the intensity as capable.
- Jumping Lunges are done without weight.
- Butt Kicks are done with 10lb ankle weight on each leg.
- Muffin Tops should be completed with 25lb weight min.
- IF you have a friend, during static crunch (torso should be 45 degrees to floor) have him play “catch” with a 5 to 8 pound medicine ball. Tossing over head (where client has top reach above his head to catch it) adds a little extra “kick” to this exercise.
