Overview

A simple yet brillant program. Dedicate at least 15 minutes each morning to exercising (anyone can do that). Vary and balance the workout so you achieve overall fitness. How? Simply look at which day of the week it is and do the type of workout assigned to that day:

Mon = Cardio
Tue = Upper Body Strength
Wed = Flexibility
Thu = Cardio
Fri = Lower Body Strength
Sat = Special Targetted Workout
Sun = Mind/Body Awareness

If it is Mon (or Thu), turn to the chapter that descibes Cardio workouts and choose from one of the many cardio workouts described, including everything from jogging to using that exercise bike you bought a few years ago. On Tue, turn to the Upper Body Strength chapter and choose between free weights, Pilates/Ball, a shadow boxing workout and many more.

With this program, you develop overall fitness and NEVER get BORED since you get to choose from over 55 different workouts. Each one fully explained and illustrated. It is like going to your favorite restaurant and selecting a different item off the menu each night.
