  • 12 Second Sequence by Jorge Cruise

    For those short of time, I think this book offers a really nice exercise plan. The plan involves only 2 20-minute sessions each week. The 1st day is large muscle groups - legs, chest, back, abs. The 2nd day is small muscle groups - shoulders, bis, tris, abs. The exercises for each session is set up circuit-style where you're doing 4 reps of each exercise per circuit. But, each rep involves a 10-sec count up, hold 2 sec, lower 10-sec. If you've never done slow-rep strength training, it's really effective and powerful. Everything is laid out in detail. Jorge gives no-equipment alternatives so you really have no excuse.

    Prior to having kids, I lead a healthy lifestyle and was nicely fit. 5 kids later, I am not as I was and I really lack the time for long exercise sessions. I've tried to exercise here and there between pregnancies, but never with any consistency. I figured I can find 2 20-min blocks of time each week and sneak in some runs/extra cardio in between.

    Anyway, I think the book is definitely worth a browse next time your at a bookstore. I don't usually buy fitness books, but this one caught my interest.

      You are the second person who I've heard recommend this plan. Interesting.
