No Equipment 4 Minute Workout

Jason Cooley
Here's a very short, very tough, and very rewarding workout that will have you getting fit and losing weight quickly. This workout routine is very intense and also very short to help you burn calories fast in order to lose weight while getting fit. The best part is that you get to save money with this workout because you don't need to buy any equipment so you can keep your wallet fat.

This workout only consists of four exercises you need to do but you MUST workout EVERYDAY. When starting this routine I would recommend only doing 4 minutes the first day and add 10 seconds every day after that. By the time you get to the point where you can use the excuse "I just don't have the time to work out" with a straight face, you will already be fit.

The workout is straight forward and not complicated at all. We will be working with a time period instead of counting repetitions. There are only 4 exercises that we will divide equal time between. So take the time of your workout and divide it by the number of exercises. For the first workout it would be 4 minutes and we will divided the 4 minutes by 4 because that is the number of exercises. 4/4=1 so we will perform each exercise for 1 minute.

The exercises for this workout are:

Pushups- If you can't do a normal push up then use your knees to perform a girly push up.

Crunches- Make sure NOT to lay all the way back on your way down. The biggest mistake made when performing crunches is moving through too large of a range of motion, so remember to only perform about 4 inches of movement to keep the muscle working.

Jumping jacks- We all know these.

Body weight squats or deep knee bends- Bend down in the motion you would when sitting in a chair while sticking your butt out, go down as far as is comfortable. If you don't have a large range of motion that's fine because as you get used to performing this task you will get better and be able to go lower.

These exercises are pretty straight forward and simple. When you complete your workout you should be pretty confident that next time you will be able to handle another 10 seconds.

I can't write this in the third person... I just can't. To do so would make me feel like a douche big enough to accommodate Madonna. My articles are a change of pace from what you can expect anywhere else. M...  View profile
