for it. That goes for work and working out. Now, new research shows that as little as 15 minutes of
resistance training is just as effective in spiking a man’s metabolism—his fat-burning furnace—as

men are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if it’s chopped down to those 15 minutes.The Men’s Health Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts contains fast-paced circuit training and interval
workouts that boost calorie burn, build muscle, and fry belly fat in half the time of regular workouts.
Readers can choose from at-home, body-weight-only workouts and total-body barbell programs to
exercises that target major muscle groups—the chest, arms, legs, and back—and sport-specific
workouts. Other highlights include:-a special section of 15-minute core workouts to build a rock-hard six-pack
-an eating plan with delicious meals that take 15 minutes or less to prepare
-workouts for the office or when you’re traveling and can’t make it to the gym
-hundreds of tips from America’s best trainers, nutritionists, and exercise scientists
