Ditch the gym! It’s not about how long you exercise—or where—but about the type of moves you do. Bowflex Fitness Advisor Tom Holland introduces micro-workouts for optimal health that will help you achieve the body you want. Does the prospect of spending long hours at the gym deter you from exercising? Tom Holland has a much better approach: “excessive moderation” utilizing manageable micro-workouts that provide maximum, long-term results by engaging your full body, elevating your heart rate, accelerating physical conditioning, and increasing circulation and energy. They’re perfect for the busy people who don’t have time for the gym and want to exercise when, where, and for however long they want. In The Micro-Workout Plan, Tom shares the knowledge he’s gained from 30 years in the fitness industry, debunks myths, explains why micro-workouts succeed, and offers a motivating, manageable method for fitness well-being. He provides actionable steps with 30 5-minute mix-and-match micro-workout routines: just two to four 5-minute micro-workouts a day done whenever and wherever you want will target your whole body and help you achieve the daily activity required for optimal health. Plus, there’s a step-by-step photographic section of 80 exercises teaching proper form. With this book in hand, you can ditch the gym and get the same experience at home.

You will find the detail of my training protocol lasting a total of 52 weeks, 12 months of training, at the end of which it is possible to continue, resuming a certain phase that better fit your needs. This macrocycle is divided into four main phases: a break-in or adaptation phase lasting 8 weeks suitable for those who have just started training or for those who resume activity after a period of rest. This is followed by an 8 weeks strength phase in which we try to increase overall strength. After the strength phase, very expensive for the body, follows a recovery phase lasting 4 weeks. The last mesocycle of the protocol consists of the hypertrophy phase lasting 12 weeks, in which the workouts will be aimed at gaining muscle mass. At the end of the period of hypertrophy it is good to insert a recovery period of another 4 weeks. At this point you have to decide based on your goals and restart with a cycle of strength or with another cycle of hypertrophy. In first case restart 8 weeks of strength phase, 4 weeks of recovery and another 8 weeks of strength phase. If your goal is hypertrophy you can continue with 12 weeks of hypertrophy protocol and 4 weeks of recovery protocol.
