15-Minute Total Body Ab Workout

Men's Health just contacted me with an emergency assignment...

...they wanted a program for their "15-Minute Workout" section, using exercises that readers can do at home with minimal equipment. (Sound familiar? I specialize in those things!)

So it was easy, I just grabbed a couple of exercises from my latest program, sent them this little ditty.

It will burn fat, build muscle, work your abs (hard!), and trains what I call, "The 4 Metabolism Boosting Hot Zones" of the body (more on those in the August workout of the month)...

Here's the program. You'll love it for a quick workout in the summer. (see below)
