Fresh moves spark fresh results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay Consistent (No Matter Your Schedule): <\/strong>Your sweat sessions can be as quick as 10 minutes. Sometimes less is more when it comes to staying on track.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix It Up:<\/strong> Add movement outside the Total Gym: a trail walk, a bike ride, or a hike through falling leaves. Variety keeps your body guessing and your spirit connected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0The Game Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>30 Workouts in 60 Days.<\/strong> That\u2019s the only rule.
