The 5-4-3-2-1 Workout That Everyone is Talking About

I don't know what you have heard about exercise regimes, but I have heard about the 5-4-3-2-1 workout that I greatly recommend for those that cannot do too much exercise and want to lose weight fast.

I am on a diet called the Chemical Diet Plan at present and this exercise regime is a bonus workout that can be incorporated whilst doing any kind of diet. Take a look below and start this regime a couple of days before you start your diet. It will boost your energy and help you feel more positive about your weight loss diet.
