It was a Canadian exercise program, which featured women doing their thing in slinky leotards on a rotating platform. If you haven't had the pleasure, then you need to check out this video.
Well, you won't have to wear leg warmers or spin around in a circle to do this workout (unless you want to ;). The only thing they have in common is that they are both fast.
I am all about exercising more efficiently. You can get more done in a shorter amount of time if you amp up your intensity.
This is what I like to call my "no excuses workout". If you have a half an hour to watch TV, you have time for this workout.
The routine consists of three circuits with 1-2 minutes of rest between each circuit.
Remember to drink water (go for sips instead of gulps), take a break when you need it and consult with your doctor before you start any exercise program.
