The 4-Minute Workout
Picture this: jump rope, jog, squat, kick, lunges or the plank as hard as you can for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds, repeat seven more times until you reach four minutes, and that's it, workout over. This is the revolutionary new four-minute workout from celebrity trainer Lucy Wyndham-Read. Based on the new principle of Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) training, it's thought that exercising as hard as you can for just a short time raises your resting metabolic rate, so you burn up to 35 extra calories an hour for up to 16 hours afterwards. The LWR Fast Fat Burning Method contains five different four-minute workouts from Lucy, and costs £5.99 to download from iTunes.
