The Three Thirty Three Workout

The concept for a revolutionary new workout came to me early one morning after my usual breakfast of a large glass of orange juice, honey nut cheerios and chocolate doughnuts.  I saw an ad on TV demonstrated by a 30'ish guy and gal wearing tight stretchy shorts and showing off sculptured six-packs and abs in which they were going crazy doing one difficult and complicated exercise after another.  I looked at the screen, looked down at my belly and thought, oh well, not going to happen.

But then it occurred to me that change was possible.  In a moment of brilliant clarity I realized that the trick to making a workout or diet successful is to find something that one can realistically do, over time, without giving up and returning to the old lifestyle.

This can be done with my easy to remember and simple to execute Three Thirty Three Workout.

Three times a day, three times a week you engage in a thirty second workout.

I have designed 33 maximum effort 30 second workouts that will push you to your aerobic limits and will melt off comfortable but ugly fat by the pounds.  Combined with slight dietary changes you should expect to eventually lose 33% of that excess fat (unless you get hit by a car or something).

There are no DVD's required.  No fancy equipment.  No books or pamphlets or charts or trips to a so called health club with their questionable hygienics, high pressure salespeople and the guy in the corner who eyeballs all the ladies.  The Three Thirty Three Workout can easily fit into anybody's busy schedule.

Special clothing is not required (although I will offer a spiffy Three Thirty Three Workout shirt and bandana to be worn in public so the world can find out about it and get healthy).  You can fit in the exercises at home or at work and not have to worry about nasty sweat ruining your appearance.  Heck, after a few months you will begin to sport that healthy glow that says - LOOK AT ME.  I CAN DO ANYTHING!.

Here are several of the thirty second exercises I have designed.  Some may take a few weeks for you to be able to last the entire thirty seconds, but that's OK!  Eventually you will get there and get good doing them.  You are free to mix and match the exercises any way you want.  One day or one week you might want to do the same one all three times.  Perhaps like me you get easily bored and so will not have any two days be the same.  No matter what way you choose in time you will become master of your body and master of the Three Thirty Three Workout.

Running In Place  -  Find a place with a sturdy floor, clear of any close obstacles and run in place as fast as you can.  This may take a few weeks to work up to the full 30 seconds.

Praying Hands  -  Place your fingertips and palms together, elbows up, and push together as hard as you can.  Prayers done while doing this get sent up extra fast.

Double Fist Pump - Make two fists, elbows up, imagine someone or something that really irks you, and shake your fists as rapidly as possible.  You may be tempted to instantly repeat this one so discipline is required.

Belly Pound -  This is one of my favorites.  Make two fists and then pound your fat belly like a drum with the finger side of your fists.  Move the abuse around for maximum benefit and less bruising.

As you can see, if done properly a full range of muscle groups can be engaged.  You will begin looking good, feeling good and maybe even start acting good.  Not bad for only thirty seconds a day, three times a day, three days a week.
