40 Minute Blast - Abs, Cardio And Resistance Workout

Hi John,

I am 42 years old, 5’6” and having a moderately active life style.
I go to gym and do general exercises as guided by instructors
No progress in my weight loss.

Can you please suggest a good fat loss workout plan ?

I can go to gym 5 days a week

hello John,

Is there any alternative exercise for floor reach toe and Abdominal Air Bike?

hello John,
I want to do this workout at home and I don't have the treadmill at my home, so how can I do the treadmill walking/ running at home without a treadmill, Is there any Alternative for that?

So quick question. I notice there is a break between the sets of exercises. Is this to show two variants of the workout or are you too do all exercises in one run?

It's a good workout, but really only works if the gym is not busy.

Does this workout work for fat loosing ?

Like the workout but 1 had to amp it up some. Instead of the 30 sec walk/run I inclined on 6 and ran on 6 for 1 minute. Also I added 10-15 reps to each exercise.

Big question: Can the treadmill be subsituted for an exercise bike? cause this workout i'd love to try but is hindered by having no treadmill

Lol this is a good workout but you look werid and crazy running around the gym like this and sort of annoying if someone is on what you need while running around like this.

how many calories are being burned during this workout?

Just tried this work out yesterday and I love it. The best thing to do is have the dumbbells with you by the treadmill. Its as simple as that.

I've been doing the workout as outlined. I set dumbbells and a mat next to the treadmill at the gym and do the full workout. I never noticed there was a rest period and have doing the routine straight through. It's a great workout and definitely kills boredom at the gym.

going to try this evening

Really enjoyed this workout..... I changed up the treadmil walking/running to using a skipping rope & it worked a treat! Had a burn factor of 460 cals in pretty much 40 minutes of this workout :) The reason why I loved this workout is because it is a total body workout so there was no need for me to do abs at the end of my workout as I had done them already :) Cheers for a great workout that I will be incoporating into my weekly routine

i think this workout is intense, it really burns and it works really well, if you wanna lose fat then this is the workout for you!

Trying this tonight will let you all know how i get on!! :) excited face! need to get preloaded on amino energy and set all the (walking movements to sprints at highest speed)!!!! i can do this!

lets go!!!

Thanks for posting this abs workout, going to try it out:-) Any tips on what to eat before and after workout? I find that after my workouts I'm so hungry I could eat a horse but I know that if I overdo it my work at the gym will be for nothing, what will help tame my hunger but also help me feed my muscles, any suggestions?

i am a 63 year old man and i want to know what i can do for exercise for my legs , i have poor circletation in my legs have problem walking,i got on your web site and did not see anything that i can do for exercise, could you help me ok russ?

I LOVE THIS!
although i have to admit if you didn't have a home gym with a treadmill you would probably look a little silly running around from the weights to the treadmill ! i did this exact one at home then when i was in the gym i changed the treadmill to jumping jacks, knee highs, jump rope ect, to get the heart rate up.

Can i do it everyday?

very good interal training workout but you look crazy so i made on slight change as the treadmill is kind of redundant for only 30 seconds at a time. i would recommend doing burpies, jump squats and other leg/cardio workouts instead, it would be much quicker and much more efficient.

The treadmill walking is effectively your rest, and as such, the routine should not be done with rests. And yes, @Andy, the modifications you've made are counter intuitive of the workout goal.

Hello -- I had a chance to try out the routine, and to facilitate the logistics in my situation, I made the following changes:

I combined the treadmill routines into two five minute exercises, walking and then running, at the beginning of the workout. When I did the walking, I made sure to have the treadmill at the highest incline setting. By the time I completed the entire workout routine, I had worked up a sweat.

Does my making the above changes run counter to the goals set by the program?

i would like to try this, but i will look like a crazy man running around the gym.

About a 90 second rest period

this sounds really good but just a question. is there any resting period like how would i go from dumbbell bench press to walking to situps to running that too on a treadmill without looking completely crazy.
