4 Minute Boost

Give yourself a gift for Christmas: make a commitment to do something quick, easy, fun and VERY BENEFICIAL for yourself ALL YEAR LONG!

Introducing the 4 minute nitric oxide boost exercise workout: 4 exercises, performed with precision 10 times each in sequence, repeat the sequence 3 times, while breathing through your nose. Over time you can increase the pace and increase the number of reps. I’ve been doing this for several years and now do 20 reps repeated 4 times – but I didn’t start there.

This workout is HIIT (high intensity interval training) and provides many benefits. Make this simple routine a priority in your morning and notice that you have increased energy, greater mental clarity, improved immune protection, and muscle toning. I believe you may even experience more positive food choices, better self-control, and better sleep. HIIT workouts can help stimulate the body’s production of hormones like HGH that can help you lose fat and build lean muscle. You can do this workout anywhere (I’ve done it in airports, while pumping gas, and while waiting outside stores for more avid shoppers!). For increased benefits, repeat multiple times throughout the day. Your body will thank you!

If you are new to exercise you can start with five reps of each exercise and repeat 3 times, gradually increasing. In this short video Dr Zach Bush introduces each exercise demonstrating correct movements.

If you want the background information about WHY this is such an effective workout and WHAT the body does during this time, watch Dr Zach Bush explain in the following 2 miniute video.

The following video describes the same routine with some modifications especially for women of all ages.

I’d love to hear about how you incorporate this exercise in your schedule!
