"...The exercises are designed to work the body from one end to the other. They use primitive tools like medicine balls and body weight, and compound movements to involve more than one set of muscles, rather than using a machine to isolate one muscle at a time.

The beauty of such a workout, personal trainer Robert Garza said, is that it combines cardiovascular exercise with resistance training, so you're gaining muscle at the same time you're burning calories and improving endurance.

Instead of just looking muscular, you should end up with "usable" strength and fitness that also looks ripped.  Best of all, you can get a more intense workout in a shorter amount of time."

Why do Xpress Workouts?

Time efficiency – workouts will take you 20 minutes or less to complete.  Therefore, you can do them at times that you may have not had enough time to spare.

Get a full-body workout – you won’t spend valuable time hitting each muscle independently taking you hours to complete, but rather, with compound style exercises* that stimulate several muscles groups at a time so you can challenge the whole body.

*Compound exercises involve working muscles in groups rather than in an isolation fashion, e.g. leg squats that challenge your thighs, gluteus (butt), hamstrings, inner thighs, and calves versus a leg extension machine that only hits the front thigh muscle.

Builds muscle & tone while also effectively burning the fat – Express Workouts are proven to help build and shape your muscles while generating the physiological response to burn fat by increasing your metabolism not just during your workout but for hours afterwards! 

Build “usable” Strength – with Express Workouts you’ll quickly attain functional, i.e. “usable” strength, not just beach or show-off muscles that are useless to you when you really need them.  Don’t worry though you’ll get usable muscles that will also make you look great at the beach!

When can you do express workouts?

• In the morning before breakfast and/or work
  

• During the lunch crunch – and have time to have lunch after
  

• After work and/or before dinner
