(Sebuah rencana menarik untuk mengruuskan badan)

Who has hours a day to exercise? Not you! That’s why we asked trainer extraordinaire Jillian Michaels for a fast, do-it-all plan. Michaels knows something about time management: She juggles two TV gigs (The Doctors and Dr. Phil), started a clothing line for K-Swiss and runs her JillianMichaels.com weight loss empire. So when we asked her for a quickie workout, she created one she’d do herself.

Michael’s once-and-done routine combines toning and cardio—no weights, no treadmill. The best part? It takes only 16 minutes, start to finish. Ready, set, slim!

The Magic 8 Moves

They tighten everywhere (each move enlists multiple muscle groups) and you won’t get bored or plateau. Do the moves back-to-back and you can check cardio off your list, too—your heart will thump as much as if you were jogging or climbing stairs. Translation: Mega calorie burn is in the bag.

All you need is a can-do attitude! Perform as many reps of each move as possible for 1 minute, then go to the next without resting. Repeat the sequence once, for a total of 16 minutes. Do the workout three or four times weekly, and jot down reps to chart success. Don’t wait another second—begin now!
