Fit in 15: 15-Minute Morning Workouts that Balance Cardio, Strength, and Flexibility (Paperback) Review

I am a working mother of two preschoolers, and I was gaining weight because I could no longer manage to fit my 1 1/2 hour gym workouts into my schedule. I bought a treadmill a few months ago (with a lot of help from treadmilldoctor.com) and I still couldn't fit in the 45 minutes I felt I needed to use it - maybe 3 or 4 times aweek - to replicate at least part of my gym workouts of yesteryear.

I will admit what appealed to me about this book is the 15 minute concept. Yes, I'm busy, but can I spare 15 minutes? I must be able to. Plus, the book doesn't give me that cop-out of "I'm too tired this morning. I'll do this after work," which then never happens. The 15 minutes are in the morning, and 15 minutes is not really all that much earlier to get up, so psychologically, I can handle it without too many excuses.

After using this plan, I have found the following:
1) I am able to stick to it
2) I am more energetic during the day after a morning workout
3) I'm seeing my body come back

As a bonus, I find I'm often motivated to go a little longer on the cardio in because, really, the first 15 minutes are the hardest. If I tell myself I'm just getting on the treadmill for 15 minutes, it's not as hard as telling myself I need to go 45 minutes or not at all. Too often I would choose not at all.

All the equipment you really need are dumbbells. A yoga mat and an exercise ball are highly recommended. For cardio, you can use the sidewalk. :)

I highly recommend this book.

Product Description:
People buy exercise equipment, join gyms, and sign up for classes, but they still don't exercise. They simply can't find the time. So author Steve Stiefel has developed a totally unique, full-body fitness program that even the busiest person can work into a morning schedule.
The Fit in 15 program takes less time than waiting in line for coffee, yet it has the power to transform one's total fitness. Unlike exercise equipment or repetitive workout routines that overemphasize one aspect of fitness, the Fit in 15 program varies 15-minute workouts on different days of the week in order to develop all elements of a healthy, shapely body: Monday and Friday cover cardio, Tuesday and Thursday are devoted to strength, Wednesday addresses flexibility, Sunday adds mind - body awareness and Saturday is left open for the reader to choose a workout that targets an area needing extra attention, such as muscle building, core strengthening, or fat burning. Fit in 15 provides a fun and flexible "7 days - 7 workouts" plan that lets readers choose from 55 specially designed 15-minute workouts.
