The strength moves in the Ultimate Fitness Plan are designed as a circuit: You do one move right after another, with little rest in between. Research shows that this type of training boosts calorie burn both during a workout and for an hour afterward by 10 percent over traditional routines.
Do each move for 30 seconds (weeks 1 and 2), then 60 seconds (weeks 3 and 4). Rest for 30 seconds between moves. Do each circuit four times, resting for 2 minutes after the second one. Follow the schedule below. Yes, you do something six days a week, but no workout takes more than 30 minutes out of your busy day.
Monday Moves 1-5 (Goal: Stand Up Straight)
Tuesday Moves 6-10 (Goal: Bulletproof Your Body)
Wednesday Move 11 / Interval Training (Goal: Banish Belly Fat)
Thursday Moves 1-5
Friday Moves 6-10
Saturday Move 11
Sunday Rest*
* You can start the program on any day and choose your own rest day; just don't do the same workout on consecutive days.
