Quick Fitness

Got a spare minute? Why not burn some fat? Meredith Robertson is the drill instructor for this 30-minute "triple-fat-burning" workout that alternates seven one-minute high intensity drills with two-minute recovery periods. The quick routines, which include hamstring curls, high stepping in place, and grapevine kicks, are presented with modifications for viewers at various fitness levels. While the vocal encouragement sometimes sounds as if the goal is simultaneous orgasm, rather than a trimmer tummy (“We're close, we're so close, don't stop…yes!”), overall, Robertson packs a serious exercise wallop into this lean, mean half-hour workout.
