So how exactly does one get fit fast?  Everyone has 12 minutes per day.  In fact, I'll bet you can find 12 minutes twice per day.  You can establish a 12 minute work out routine six days per week.  This routine should incorporate strength training exercises and cardiovascular activity if possible. 

The key is selecting four different exercises if strength training, such as: Squats, Bench Press, Bent Rows and Barbell Curls.  Pick exercises that will work out each of the major muscle groups in the body.  You should select a weight you can lift approximately 15 times for one repetition.

Now here's the catch to a successful work out…you must perform each set with perfect form, and take it slow.  Take a full 4 seconds when raising the weight and 4 seconds when lowering it in order to get an effective work out.  When you slow down your movement, you take out the momentum factor.  You are forcing your muscles to move the weight, and as a result muscles get toned much more quickly than they would otherwise. 

Cardiovascular activity is also essential to fast fitness.  Take 12 minutes out of your day to walk, job, and bike, climb stairs or perform any other cardiovascular activity that will get your heart pumping.  If you're in a crowded office building, you're likely to find stairs nearby you can climb at least a few times per day.  You'll stimulate your metabolism to function more efficiently by doing so.

Eat Clean

You can't expect to drop pounds fast and efficiently if you don't eat smart.  Cut out all processed foods and high sugary sweets.  Some primary offenders include excess breads, pastas, cookies, candies, sodas…you get the picture.  Change your diet so that you are consuming lots of lean proteins and complex carbohydrates. 

Also be sure to incorporate protein, carbohydrate and fat into each of your meals.  Prepare things ahead of time so you don't have to worry about finding food at the last minute.
