Saturday 6am Workout

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." - Colin Powell

Today I got up at 6am, after heading to bed around 1:30am, went down to the hotel gym here in Aspen, and did a quick workout (while watching Roger Federer play the gold medal match of doubles tennis).

If an Olympian can work 6 hours a day in preparation for a competition that only happens every 4 years, then I can work 20-45 minutes every other day to get six pack abs and stay at 10% body fat and below.

If you want to succed with a fat loss program, consistency is key. So is hard work. It doesn't have to be a lot of hard work, but you must work hard in your workouts, and be consistent with your nutrition.

Remember: Nutrition is more important than exercise for fat loss.

More on that next week...but here's today's workout...

Supersets
1A) DB Split Squat - worked up to 65x8
1B) Decline Close-grip - 25,20,20

2A) Seated Row - 200x3x8
2B) 1-Leg Stability Ball Leg Curl - 3x10

3A) Ab Wheel
3B) DB Triceps Ext
3C) Underhand grip Pulldown

20 minutes and done. Now for consistent nutrition all day.

Stay strong,
