Ok, now that is over with let us get to the fun part.
I have a workout routine that I use at most three times a week. Sometimes I will only do the exercises twice a week and my workout lasts for about 7 or 8 minutes tops. It keeps me strong and helps me loose those pounds effectively and safely.
I use a dumbbell routine that comprises four exercises and one free weight exercise. I perform one set of each exercise and I limit it to 8-10 repetitions. I also perform the exercises slowly. I usually take about 5 or 6 seconds on each phase of the exercise. When I can perform beyond 10 repetitions I then add weight to the dumbbells gradually.

Press ups 1 set of 10 repetitions
Dumbbell Shrugs 1 set of 10 repetitions
