Thanks Holly! Sometimes I forget about the rest part… . Glad to be reminded of how that’s an important piece of getting me closer to my goals.

I’m gonna aim to reduce the time to 15 mins by making the transition between exercises smoother. I would like to read about an efficient warm up and stretch ? What do others do ?

Well I did it … I did my first 25 min resistance training session I did the following supersets back to back only 2 sets but I will do 3 the next time:

Deadlift (30kg barbell) – 10 reps
Stability Ball Rollaway – 12 reps

Ball Squat – 12 reps 12 count static hold
Full Press Up – 10 reps

Body Weight Row (using bench) – 8 reps very tough
Spiderman Climb – 8 each side

It felt great and I sweated. I’m gonna apply this principle to all my workouts from now on

Hi Holly,
I just had to respond to this one. I don’t have children. But my “baby” is my business that I’m building while still working in Corporate America. I met you at the BOSS live event last year and I had no idea at that time what impact you would have on my life. I’m a health coach and specialize in helping my clients overcome emotional eating, but as my business grew while still juggling my CA job, I lost all desire to exercise because I was living in overwhelm much of the time. When I learned about interval training and your whole “get your body back” program of 90 minutes a week, I was skeptical but because you’re such a shining example of health and fitness I decided to give it a try. Well, if I see you at this year’s live event, I’ll probably start crying as I hug your neck!!! Intervals, resistance training, kettleball, and the whole 90 minutes a week thing WORKS!!! I’ve taken my health and my fitness to a whole new level. I’ve stayed motivated and committed because I can always find 15 minutes. My strength has improved tremendously, my body is changing to a much more toned and fit energetic machine and it’s all due to you and your products and services.

I recommend your site to my clients unashamedly because I know if they will “meet” you, they can take their own health to the next level. What you offer grows ones self-confidence, and therefore I can help my clients say no to emotional eating because they think of themselves the way they should think instead of tearing themselves down all the time.

I could go on and on, but I had to write because if there is anyone reading this who doesn’t believe 15 minutes can make a difference, I’m hear to tell you it DOES! And no! Holly didn’t pay me to write this! lol…

Hugs,
Ginny Edwards

I’ve just read my reply … I’m actually going to try to reduce my resistance workout time to 20mins

I do high intensity resistance work … about 45 min sessions. I do supersets – specifically the peripheral heart action method and find it great. I change my workouts regularly using bodyweight sometimes, I have to say though I find weights give me the best results. However, I have a neck problem (old whiplast injury) which affects my shoulders so I find that I have to be very careful with this area and so I use lighter weigh and higher reps here. Cardio wise I do intervals – walking and stationary cycling only 20 – 30 min sessions.

While I’m still ‘struggling’ to get used to the “less is more” idea – I used to be so hooked on my 45 to 90 minute sessions five or six times a week – I’m following the FYM workouts religiously now and love the fact that I’m done in less time, while my heart rate is still way up and I’m sweating buckets! I still throw in one of my ‘old’ workouts every now and again, and although I haven’t been doing the FYM workouts for very long, I think I’m seeing results already. Awesome stuff! It’s a pity that so many women (still) don’t understand that endless cardio will get them nowhere – one of my colleagues told me just yesterday that she gave up gym because it was ‘boring’, so now she goes walking with a friend. While it’s great that she’s remaining active, I think, it would be even better if she could squeeze in a few weight sessions every now again, particularly at 56. Anyway, I’m just glad I stumbled upon this secret at a relatively young age – thanks for all your hard work and advice, Holly! You’re a true inspiration to us all.

I agree with Holly..I use to think that long cardio would help to burn fat and If I do more, I will lose more fat..Well did not happen. Since I have been following FYM style, I ended up loosing more fat than I could ever have imagined..I love it and thank you Holly.

Wow! I have been wanting to incorporate more consistent resistance workouts into my training plan, but found it challenging to do so until I found your 15 minute workouts through Club FYM. I have only been using your Resistance Workouts for about 6 weeks, but already feel stronger. I ran my second half marathon this weekend & shaved 10 minutes off my time on a tougher course! The resistance workouts were great cross-training and the intervals helped train my body and mind to push hard when I was tired. I had the strength and stamina to charge up hills during the race when many others were slowing down. I finished in 2:00:16, much faster than I thought I would since I ended up substituting Club FYM-style workouts for many of the shorter runs on my training plan since they fit better into my lifestyle. I am convinced short bursts are incredibly effective! Moving forward, long cardio sessions are going to be fewer and farther between unless I’m training for a major event! Thanks Holly!
