This program, performed in street clothes, is based on the established benefits of slow, deliberate movement using weights that leave participants "spent" by the last repetition. The program follows an initial 8-week period of two workouts per week, after which only one workout per week is required for maintenance. The 21 Minute Fitness & Weight Loss program uses the Hi-Lo technique, an advanced but easy to learn form of resistance strength training. Using specially designed medical grade equipment to control the sustained motion, participants train in a safe, efficient manner, all under constant supervision and coaching by a 21 Minute Fitness & Weight Loss coach. After a workout, participants wait 3-5 days before working out again, allowing time for the muscles to rest and rebuild. "Achieving this efficiency and effectiveness doesn't take many repetitions, if the exercise is done with the correct slow movement," explains Greg Thurman, founder and president of 21 Minute Fitness & Weight Loss.
