Nick Mays' 12 minute daily workout

12 minutes day; six body specific exercises are each done for two minutes. The genious of his month-long plan is the focused, weekly progressions, which up the ante of each exercise. I have used this exercise regime to tone up since the summer of 2006, it is pure genious!!

0 to 2nd minute: Press-ups. Week one: classic press-ups with the body straight, hand under shoulders.
2nd to 4th minute: Leg lounges. Week one: classic forward lounge, keeping weights over the heel of the front foot to work the bottom.
4th to 6th minute: Stomach crunches. Week one: bend, knees, cross arms over chest and slowly curl up.
6th to 8th minute: Hip bridge. Week one: lie on you back with knees bent and use your bottom to lift hips up until in a line with your shoulder and knees, and lower.
8th to 10th minute: Lower back. Week one: On all four, raise opposite arm and leg out straight, hold for five, tha repeat on other side.
10th to 12th minute: Triceps dips. Week one: start by sitting on teh edge of a chair, with hand on the sides of the seat. The use your arms -rather than your legs - to lower and raise your bottom.
