If you hate exercise and you don't have time to work out, this video is for you.

0:05.8

So many people just don't have time to exercise.

0:08.5

They have a very busy lifestyle.

0:10.2

And so this video is for that person.

Working with tens of thousands of people over decades,

0:15.7

I realize that most people are not lazy.
