15 minutes to a stronger, leaner YOU!!!!

Let's face it, we all love shortcuts. If there’s a way to accomplish a job quicker and more efficiently, we’re all for it. That goes for work and working out. 

Now, new research shows that as little as 15 minutes of resistance training is just as effective in spiking a person's metabolism—our fat-burning furnace—as a workout lasting more than twice as long. All it takes is 15 minutes to achieve lifelong results—and we are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if it’s chopped down to those 15 minutes.

The basic idea is to work fairly fast, intensely, and efficiently on a few exercises and not waste too much time resting, all in about 15 minutes. By building muscle and strong bones, you burn more fat. These workouts will help you get a lean strong body as opposed to bulking up. Great for the busy, who do not have time to spare, but want to take a few minutes to take care of themselves.

Here is a 15 minute workout to blast your triceps and build a rock hard stomach within 2 weeks of dedicated work.

Handstand pushup: This is basically an pushup done from the handstand position. You can lean against a wall, door, or any other solid object if you find it difficult to balance on your own. 

Squats: Go for 100 repetitions

Mountain climber pushups: In this kind of pushup, each time you lower your body, you raise your knees to your elbow. Alternate knees with each repetition. Do as many as you can in one minute
 
Crunches: Go for as many reps as you can execute with good form in one minute.

Wide-grip pushup: Spread your arms as wide as they can go when executing the pushups. 
Train without clothes if it makes you comfortable
