Opulence Workout 4 min
2012
The metabolism booster workouts are a series of workouts, each one under 10 minutes, that are fast paced and designed as a short burst of energy to get your metabolism revved up and burning away those unwanted stored fat cells in the body.
In this series I chose the vowels as the shortest workouts and they are all 4 minutes.
In this one, the 4 minutes is broken up into two 2 minute parts and what 2 minute segments they are!! I loved them and they are so effective, but wow! After the 1st part you can really feel your triceps and arms, and wait until you feel your quads and butt after the 2nd with all the squats!! Back to back squats like this is great, quick and seriously effective. Give it a go & try it out!

Exercise Descriptions
Get into crab position and then bring your hips down closer to ground putting weight more on tricep muscles of arms and lift one leg up keeping it straight with foot towards ceiling; this is your start position. Bring down the raised leg and right away lift the opposite leg that was on ground. When the raised leg comes down your hips naturally raise up and when your other leg goes up your hips go down, at this point when they go down do a tricep dip with your arms, focusing on and using your tricep muscles. Each time leg is raised is one rep.
Sit on floor with legs straight out in front of you and hands palm down on ground by your hips. Now bend your knees and place feet flat on floor and push your body up with weight in hands to form a table position with body, facing up. Squeeze butt and push feet into the ground. Then release and come back keeping your body and butt off of the floor, with your weight in arms, push your lower back/butt back. This is one rep. Continue doing these movements alternating coming up to table position and then bringing seated body back and hips back.
Stand with legs shoulder width apart and squat down so that thighs are parallel with ground and then push yourself up with legs and jump up, come back down into a squat and repeat jumping between each squat. Keep weight on the heel of your feet going into the squat but push off with ball of feet to jump up. Make sure that your knees never go out beyond your toes.
Stand with legs shoulder width apart and squat down so that thighs are parallel with ground and then come back up to standing. Throughout the movement keep weight on the heel of the foot. Make sure that your knee never goes beyond toe. Most of your weight will be in back, so lean forward or reach out arms to counter the weight
Stand with legs shoulder width apart and go down into a squat position with thighs parallel to ground and from this position do little squats pulsing body up and down holding the squat position for set time or number of reps, and then come back up to standing. Make sure that weight is on mainly placed on the heel of the foot and that your knees do not extend beyond your toes.
Have a great workout!
