I would add that even 10 minutes can give you a great workout. Many times at night if I'm really strapped for time but want to add a little high intensity work I'll alternate 20 pushups and 20 situps as fast as I can for 10 minutes. If you do it fast enough you don't want any more than 10 minutes! Any two bodyweight exercises can be alternated but I really like the basics...pushups, situps, squats, burpees. Hey Mark,

I may be missing something, on the weight days are you doing zero cardio or just low intensity?

Thanks

I was an acitivities coordinator over 40 yrs. ago until felled by MS, diagnosed in 1978. I did passive exercises with bedridden residents and regular wheelchair group sessions. But my memory is faulty due to the MS and a mild stroke last year. I live with one of my sons and am primarily confined to my room and do most of my ADLS alone. Thank you for any help as I have been on the Phase I Diet for a year and your Master Formula for a few months. I have lost about 35 # so far. Have at least that much to go. My health is better but I am still looking for more. I now have an electric chair but without ramps still cannot get outdoors. Hoping to get an electric treadmill to start walking. May GOD continue to Keep and Bless you and yours. In His Love, Colleen I am a 79 yr. young widow with MS, Arthritis and many other handicaps and need a wheelchair exercise setup.

Keep track of your time and compare the next time you do it. If you perform better, then what you've been doing is working. (empirical based fitness) That's CrossFit why rest between exercises?

I'm frankly boggled why so many people (guys?) seem so afraid to try this regimen. I'm not a professional athlete, so I don't stress myself out scheduling my workouts, I take what time is available and work with that. Even my weight training is pretty retro. I do nothing sitting or lying down...squats, deadlifts, olympic presses, dips...mostly 3x8s or 5x5s, in and out in 45 min or less. Nothing sexy, all compound exercises. Nothing ego driven, just what gets the results I want. Thanks Mark. I’m frankly boggled why so many people (guys?) seem so afraid to try this regimen.

Isn't it amazing how concentrating on briefer, but more intense workouts can have such an impact? Also, your diet is designed now to alter body composition towards musclebuilding/preserving and fat-burning. Keep up the great work. 10% is not that far away...and once you get there you'll see how easy (and painless) it is to stay there. Ron,
