Introduction

Raise your hand if you’d rather spend your time laughing and enjoying a meal with your friends and family than suffering in a gym, starving yourself, or drinking some oddball potion to get in great shape.

Yup, my hand’s up there, too.

You have in your possession the key to help you do just that. This book is going to help you unlock the body and life of your dreams without driving yourself crazy. Heck of a promise, I know; but it’s one that I’ve been delivering on for more than ten years as a fitness trainer, nutrition coach, and wellness expert.

I’m known for my ability to make complicated and overwhelming information remarkably less so. That’s why real people turn to me again and again to look and feel amazing. In 2012, I founded The People’s Bootcamp, a pay-what-you-can fitness brand that is often referred to as the hardest workout in New York and that one magazine called “a populist antidote to the tyranny of $35 spin sessions.” I also created WaveShape, a surf-inspired workout for some surfer friends, and then made it available for free online. It’s used every day by thousands of people from Montana to Morocco.

You see, I like simplicity. No crap, no pomp, just the essentials: an effective plan and the tools to help you put it into play. Once you toss the rest, it’s like a breath of fresh air.

Perhaps you’ve seen me on TV, sweating it out with your favorite morning show host; or you’ve read me doling out fitness tips in a magazine. Maybe you don’t own a TV, haven’t read an actual magazine in years, and think I’m just some crazy guy with a clever premise (that last part is definitely true!). Either way, I am 100 percent certain that by the time you get into these workouts, you’ll be wondering how you could hate and love someone so much at the same time.

That’s because I’m going to help you build a 30-Second Body. Speaking of which, you’re probably wondering just what that is.

Let me start with what it is not. The phrase 30-Second Body does not mean that you only need to work out for thirty seconds a day to get in great shape. Sorry! It’s not a magic trick or some infomercial gimmick, and it isn’t a call to laziness.

But a 30-Second Body is acquired quickly; a lot of people notice results after the first week. My style of working out is incredibly efficient and takes half as long as your average class at the gym. A 30-Second Body is a physique that’s built for speed, for show, for health, for life. It looks as good strutting down the runway as it does cruising down the produce aisle. Finish these workouts and you’ll be sleek, crazy sexy, and know how to get in shape in less time than it takes to watch an episode of Saved by the Bell. Weird reference, I know. Keep reading. This book is filled with them!

A 30-Second Body is long, lean, strong, agile, and fast. It torches calories while at rest—yes, at rest. It looks amazing; but best of all it functions like a well-oiled machine.

But don’t worry: The program revealed in this book is not break-your-back, crazy-complicated, either. It’s the ability to work out hard and efficiently, leaving a puddle of sweat on the floor as you proudly march forward into your day. It’s a little gritty and a lot of fun.

So, how does it work?

I’ve chosen exercises that target your entire body, and stacked them into 30-second intervals to get you in amazing shape—fast! If you’ve heard of high-intensity interval training, this is it at its finest. Yes, it’s hard; but yes, you can do this. Over the next six weeks, you’re going to unleash your best body. Are you ready?

Maybe you were once in awesome shape, but fell out of it for some reason or another. Perhaps you’ve always put fitness and wellness on the back burner, but have come to realize the importance of taking control of your body and getting it in killer shape. Or maybe you are already really fit, but looking to break through a plateau, lose those last ten pounds, or just try something new.

Whatever your life’s journey, wherever you are right now, I’m going to help you get where you want to go. This book is going to give you the key to unlock your best body in record time, and keep it for life. It’s also going to help you unleash your mind.

You’ll prove to yourself that you’re capable of far more than you ever imagined. That confidence stays with you. It goes beyond the confines of your sweat-soaked living room floor and into the world, helping you to live life to the fullest—to live hard. That’s what I teach every day: strengthening both mind and body so that we can live “full out.” The sweet physical results are just the cherries on top.

Is it going to be easy? No. Nothing worthwhile ever is. Is it going to be brutal? Depends on your definition of “brutal”—but know this: I designed this program with a wide variety of fitness levels in mind; so no matter how long it’s been since you’ve worked out (and even if you never have), I guarantee that you can do this! I’ve seen people who haven’t worked out in years step into one of my classes with fear in their eyes and leave with fire in their hearts.

The easy part is that this is a clear, simple-to-follow six-week workout plan that’s going to melt fat, skyrocket your metabolism, and get you seriously toned up and strong. There’s a free calendar (and a ton of other extras) at www.the30secondbody.com that you can print out and tack on your wall. There’s also a tear-out version of that calendar in the back of this book. I’m giving you shockingly simple nutrition advice that’ll kick fad diets to the curb. You’ll eat awesome food five times a day and actually enjoy your life, without feeling like you’re being restricted or made to go hungry. Finally, I’m going to show you how to rewire your mind so that you follow through and do the work needed to get in shape. Essentially, I’ve taken all the guesswork out of lifelong fitness and given you a road map.

So, what’s the catch?

Well, the hard part is on you, I must admit, and it’s consistent effort. If you want to grow an apple tree, I can give you a shovel and a sapling; but ultimately, you still have to dig the hole.

If it were as easy as just having a solid workout plan, everyone with access to the Internet would be trim and fit. So, why is it so hard for so many of us to get and stay in shape?

It’s time to come to terms with a hard fact: We’ve been conditioned for failure since we were kids.

Whoa! Say what? It may feel like this book just took a hard left turn, but hang with me. Awareness is the first step toward change. I’ve found that most people aren’t even aware of the choices they’re making that sabotage their goals. I want you fit for life, not just sweating for a week or so and then abandoning me for some other program—which, inevitably, you’ll abandon for another and another and another. Admit it. You’re tired of that, and you’re better than that. So let’s be real.

For far too long we’ve been told we can have anything we want with zero effort. Get six-pack abs in fifteen minutes. Make $2 million a year in four hours a week. Look nineteen again with the latest, greatest miracle cream.

The companies making these pitches do their best to convince you that the only people who get results are the ones who are following the right plan, that is, their plan. To drive their point home, they often trot out a parade of “after” models who have gone from...
