A 30 Minute Lean Body Exercise Program
So you can make it to the gym almost every day but you just don t have the time when you re there. To really get optimum fat-burning and lean-muscle-building results, you have to devote at least an hour every time you show up, right? Not necessarily - with the following program, you can achieve great results with just a half-hour workout. This program is perfectly designed for the individual who can easily devote 30 minutes a day to exercise no more, no less. The goal of this workout program is a lean body with impressive muscular tone.
The workout is based on a recovery concept. Your body actually responds to a
workout during the rest and

that the muscle rebuilding and repairing response takes place, as well as the
cardiovascular adaptations that boost the metabolism and allow your body to more
efficiently use oxygen and maintain fitness. By using a push-pull cycle combined
with a light-heavy pattern, this workout allows for optimal recovery and maximum
results.
Each lifting day is completed as a circuit, moving from one exercise to the next with
minimal rest. Every circuit is completed a total of five times. Five sets, which may
seem high for volume, will fatigue the muscle to a much greater extent than fewer
sets, which is one of the reasons this routine achieves results with a relatively small

number of exercises. To allow for good lifting form, a 45-60 second rest is
recommended after each circuit. Your heart rate will stay very high during this
routine.
For the cardio on lifting days, attempt to maintain as difficult an effort as possible
for 10 minutes. Several examples would be a hard run on the treadmill, sprint or hill
climb on the bike, or fast feet combined with high resistance on the elliptical
trainer. On the days that incorporate 30 minutes of high intensity cardio intervals,
use a 1:2 work/rest ratio, which means you push at a very hard effort for a certain
period of time, then recover at an easier effort for half the time of the hard effort.

For instance, perform a treadmill sprint for 2 minutes, and slow to a jog for 1
minute. As long as you go for 30 minutes, you may adjust the length of your cardio
intervals as desired. Typically, the longest interval you should complete is 5 minutes
long (which would be paired with a 2.5 minute recovery effort). Warm-up/cool-
down is recommended, but not completely necessary.
For the purposes of this workout, the core abdominal routine is treated as an
entirely different movement, since it is difficult to classify torso work as pushing or
pulling. Instead, abdominal work is divided into upper, lower, and rotational torso
