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.
