​​​​​​​As you know, #PhysiqueFinishers—a metabolic conditioning program for those who want lean results in 20 minutes or less—closes TONIGHT at midnight.

If you’ve been waiting, you can enroll here.

And I want to take this opportunity to share what I know you will get out of the program.

But first, a quick story.

I spent this past weekend in Austin, Texas—one of my fav cities—visiting my brother who recently moved there, while another one of my brothers was also in town.

I booked the trip last minute ‘cause I was craving some family QT and connection after working like crazy for the last month on #PhysiqueFinishers.

On Saturday morning, I texted the troops from my hotel: “Who’s up for a #PhysiqueFinishers workout before we get the day started??”

A few moans and groans since we’d stayed out late Friday night, but eventually a total of six of us got together to train.

The workout was “Brutal Bodyweight”—a 15-minute finisher, all bodyweight, no equipment needed.

“How long is this going to take?” my brother asked.

“Probably 12-15 minutes.” I replied.

“Is that going to be enough?”

“Yep.”

Ok, let’s go.

Within minutes, all of us were feeling it. Legs on fire, breathless and having to rest quite a bit.

People kept coming into my brother’s apartment complex gym and doing double-takes. What the heck are these people doing?? Lol.

It’s always as funny to see how people respond to training like this.

These workouts are intense, fast and short.

At times you are really going all-out because you know you can rest—they employ Metabolic Effect’s Rest-based Training principle. Push hard, rest hard. Listen to your body.

​​​​​​​Intensity drives results, and intensity is 100% subjective based on YOU.

But it does all look kind of comical when contrasted with the dozens of people slowly pedaling on the elliptical watching TV😂🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s all fine, but I learned years ago that there’s nothing more boring (and actually not even that effective) about long, slow cardio, when put up against intense strength-training exercise.

So everyone finishes within 14 minutes, and afterwards, the crew is drenched. Tired and sated while simultaneously energized.

“Holy crap, I’m so surprised that that was only 15 minutes,” says my brother’s friend Ryann, who, bless her, had never done a workout like that and we basically just met the night before, ha, ha!

I then joked that I've been making people reluctantly exercise since 1981. And it struck me just how true that is!

I started working in fitness at 15 when I got a job at the gym nursery just so I could get a free membership. I’d do my mom’s Jane Fonda VHS tapes as a kid. I did Step Reebok when it first came out when I was in middle school, and went on to teach and personal train all through college.

I am a meathead at heart.

And there’s NOTHING more satisfying to me than seeing people push their limits in the gym. The confidence they build watching the weight they can lift go up week to week. The excitement and surprise they get when they get a successful lift.

Or how the tenacity and grit in the gym translates into other pursuits.

Lifting is the source.

It can simultaneously be the hardest thing you’ll do, and also the thing that lends you the most self-efficacy and self-confidence.

And I love that doing metabolic conditioning workouts, like the ones contained in #PhysiqueFinishers, elicit a unique response—breathlessness + burning, plus a heaviness in the muscles you can only achieve when you really lift weights—challenging ones!

All in 20 minutes or less, 3-5x/week.

So, when you enroll in #PhysiqueFinishers, what can you expect?

Exactly this:

• Efficient workouts that work with your schedule—short and intense so you get the biggest bang for your training buck.
• Body change—these workouts are mostly designed for fat loss or inches loss—if you are trying to get super strong or add significant muscle, this program is not the one.
• Consistency! The best way to get consistent is to achieve the following 3 things: a routine that works seamlessly with your schedule, a program that actually elicits results so you’ll be incentivized to keep going, and variety so you don’t get bored. Simple. #PhysiqueFinishers provides all three.
• Two programming tracks depending on goal: fat loss/leaning out OR adding conditioning to a more traditional weight-training regimen so you maintain your cardio while getting stronger/adding muscle.
• Easy-to-follow workout calendars so you never have to wonder what workout to do and when to do it.
• Video tutorials for every workout, so you know exactly how to do each movement, plus regressions for more advanced exercises.
• And of course, weird looks at the gym from people who don’t know what intensity looks like ;)

My family and I trained for 15 minutes with no equipment, on vacation, and were then able to get on with our day. Done and dusted, bye!

Here’s what some of you are saying on social media—I love getting tagged in these BTW:
