Fantastic 4 minute Fat-Burning Workout
This morning I’m going to share with you a couple of my favorite 4 minute workouts.
These work great when you’re in a pinch for fitness and only have your bodyweight for fitness.
The idea to these workouts (Tabata Intervals) is that you will exercise for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds then repeat for a total of 4 or more minutes. I’ll provide you with two different exercises. You can either:
a) Perform a single exercise for the total of 4 minutes before moving onto the next
b) Perform the interval for 8 minutes alternating between exercises.
Your choice. But If I were you I’d alternate.
Here they are:
Total Body Counters (Burpees)
T Push-Ups
Remember to keep the abs engaged the whole time (tight-solid) and to breathe out each time you exert force. If you need to modify the T-Push Up then push-up using your knees on the ground then move to the full extension plank prior to rolling into the “T”.
With the TBC when you squat down always begin by moving the hips back first, bend at the knees second and keep your back flat the entire time as Jessica is doing above. No ROUNDING.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions and how you’re progressing with this at Rob@RBfit.com

Could your Bikini Beach Body Save the World?
There was an interesting article published yesterday on MSN.com concerning the nations current state of obesity and the downsizing of our economy. To read the full article click the link below:

I must admit I agree with some of the points the writer listed. For instance:
- Decreased body fat DOES lead to better work production
- Carrying less belly would save on fuel costs during flights & driving
- Fast Food Chains WOULD have to develop ACTUAL healthy snacks – not the processed (supposedly healthy) crap they put out now.
Basically the economy would save nearly 1/2 a TRILLION dollars!!
It was suggested that each household could receive a $4,000 dollar check good towards creating a home gym.
I’ll tell ya, at $4,000 you could build one badass home gym. Probably better than the one at your local helath club. If you need suggestions on how to build a home gym drop me an email at Rob@RBFit.com
There’s no need dropping money on a useless universal/multigym station that’ll function better as a shoe rack than anything else.
Again here’s that link to the article I mentioned…
