ABS
Do this routine after every single weight training session twice, and with zero
breaks at all. So, in total, you do two 25-second planks (50 seconds total), 2 sets of
15 leg raises (30 total), and 2 sets of 21 total bicycle crunches (42 total).
25-second plank
15 laying-down leg raises
21 bicycle crunches
Repeat.
CARDIO
Incline treadmill walk at 4 degrees, at 4 miles per hour (4 speed) for 25
minutes. If you need to go slower, that's okay. If you start working up a
good sweat in 5-10 minutes, you know it's the right speed. If you feel like
you're going to die after 60 seconds, it's a little too high.
o You might be thinking, "Walking? Really? But I want to get in really
good shape. I want to run. I want to do Crossfit. I want to do high
intensity interval training." But the problem is, those exercise
techniques are intended to help people who already have their routine
on lock down to ratchet up the intensity. All that complicated stuff
isn't necessary for 95% of fat loss and muscle gain is to help people
go from 95% to 96%. But you don't even need it to get from 70% to
80%.

walking (I do it every day).
FINAL TIP
These Exercises Should Be Hard To Complete.
These sets should be hard for you. If you can complete all 3 sets of 10, that means
you should increase the weight slightly until you are unable to complete every rep.
If you can do both 45 second planks, turn them into 1-minute planks. The beauty of
this workout is that you can keep doing it forever, and you'll just keep getting
stronger and stronger. The "advanced" version of this workout is 90% the same. If
you can nail this routine for 4 weeks straight, you've established a fitness skillset
that you can use to reach any fitness goal you desire.
