Hello Everyone

I have decided on making a blog where people can go when they need a quick work out and don't hvae time to go the gym. All of my workouts are possible to do at home with no crazy equipment. The workouts range from high intensity(get that fat off your hips action), to low reps(trying to get the muscle back on). I am college student and I never seem to find enough time to make it to the gym and do a full workout. I have experimented with many different methods of working out and I have found some good results that have worked well for me. Not any workout is perfect everyone because most people are looking for different results. I am a tall skinny man and have a difficult time gaining weight or muscle. I have found that a lot of what makes a good workout is what i am eating throughout the day, because i can workout as much as i want but if im not eating the right foods then i will never see the right results. I am not a nutritionist or a personal trainer but i have worked hard at learning how to get the body i have always wanted. i still have a ways to go but that is because i just dont have the time to get the muscle mass. I hope you all enjoy and feel as good about yourselves as i have felt from doing these workouts.

Most workouts will take between 15 and 30 minutes max.

please feel free to make comments about your times, and or just comments!

LETS DO IT!
