Default Looking for participants in a FREE exercise program

I have developed a 15 minute a day total body fitness routine that yields incredible results in body composition, strength and aerobic fitness without equipment or a gym membership. I am giving it away for FREE to those if they are willing to follow it exactly, take BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES, and measurements.

I am a fitness model/personal trainer/author located in Scottsdale, AZ with over 16 years of experience and a BS in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois. This incredibly successful program is for those who either hate to workout or don't have time to workout but yet want and need to lose fat, strengthen muscles and achieve better overall health.

I am not charging for this and I guess I will give it away to all those who want it but I would like some people to take it seriously and monitor their progress. After all, its ONLY 15 MINUTES A DAY!!

Email me at marktb68@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Could you give more background about this? What kind of non-equipment things are in it? I.e. isometrics, DVRs, DSRs, VRTs, calisthenics, yoga....

Have you/are you using it? If so, what results has it given you?

He is quite a hunk of self-sculpted yumminess, I must say. Sorry if I'm objectifying you. But you look like you've done a great artistic job on yourself!

Default critique

I'll post this critique here since the original author has not answered my questions after three days. The program feels very effective: 20 mins like at least the equal amount of weight training, and you don't have to commute to the gym to do that.

1. The routine is not actually 15 mins, even without doing switches the minimal time is 16 mins, with switches and pauses it is closer to 20-25 mins.

2. The description of the routines is a bit vague - pictures would be worth a thousand words here. "Your arms should be at 90 degrees" - in relation to what? (Sorry, I'm not a native speaker.) I'm getting some "burn" at somewhere, but I'm not actually sure if it is the burn that the original author intended.

3. Actually the most serious problem. After a workout, you are supposed to do the very same thing again on the next day. For me, this seems counter-intuitive - the muscles are still healing and repairing themselves and I'm not able to pull the contraction at the same level than the day before. I'd rather do another set of contractions, a light aerobic workout, or just let the muscles rest.

Despite these problems, I have confidence in the system, and hope to have a nice "after" picture after two months, even if I'm currently doing the thing only every other day.

smallstar,

I have replied to everyone who has written me about this program. Let me address your concerns and complaints.

1. 3 exercises is the main basis of the program. I added the 4th and its optional. the orignial version of the program is 15 mins. 3 exercises at 4 mins each plus 3 mins of rest time.

2. Your muscles will be sore for the first week or so. work thru it. Your strength of contraction should only be approx. 50% so no nervous system fatigue should occur. Dont fall for that recuperation thing. Muscles dont need alot of healing time, the nervous system does.

3. I am posting pictures today and will post the website.

Thanks,

Mark
