It’s a common new years resolution, one that I myself have repeatedly made and, broken many times.  However this time I’m not going to fail and the reason is this time I have a fresh approach that I have never had before.  Read on and I will share it with you.

Being a fan of Tim Ferriss and reading his blog I have become a fan of the 80/20 approach to things. In his blog he writes about a fitness plan that takes 30 minutes 2 times a week to get all the exercise you need to both build muscle and loose fat.  Really? I mean all the years  of hearing from well meaning doctors and Muscle magazines I was under the impression that I needed to spend at least 5 hours a week exercising. More than that even in some plans.  not to mention the fact that the magazines never mention if you attempt to use their “Add 1inch to your biceps in 24 hours Workout routine” that you will have sore arms for the next 5-7 days (It happend to me!) this workout will possible lead to soreness if you don’t follow the cooldown at the end or if you’ve not been exercising but at least there is some downtime to recover from the last one. it’s 2 times a week. not the every single day workouts that will cause you to break down your body and  in my case leave me with a cold that just never goes away.  seriously I would get a cold every other week when working out everyday. I’m not sure if I was picking up viruses off the equipment at the gym but that was solved by Linus Pauling recommended quantities of Vitamin C  (not a big fan of taking this much vitamin C as it left my GI tract doing some serious contractions and that’s all I’m going to say about that.

so his original post is here I’m going to start this following new years and see what good comes of it.  just felt like sharing in case you are also looking for a way to get in shape that does not take a ton of time that it seems nobody has available any longer.

Good luck and I want comments about this !!!!
