Six Exercises For 2006

While the Boston Globe reports on the annual New Year’s stampede for health club memberships (January can account for 15 percent of a club’s yearly numbers), Men’s Journal makes the fit life sound simple, presenting the only six exercises we will ever need, allegedly, in the new year and any year to come. They are:
The Twist
The Squat
The Lunge
The Dead Lift
The Pull
The Push
The piece, adapted from The New Rules of Lifting, by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove, includes a three-day a week workout plan that alternates lifts for maximum gains.
