Hey TopBum elite! Kimi Hew here. 2026 has given us the ‘4-2-1 Workout’. Four minutes of exercise, two minutes of looking at your reflection, and one minute of wondering why you haven’t seen results yet. It’s the ultimate fitness plan for the attention span of a goldfish. But does it build a glute empire? Only if that empire is built on wishful thinking and high-quality gym selfies. Today, we’re dissecting why ‘Short and Sweet’ usually leads to ‘Small and Weak’.
The Math of Missing Muscle
The promoters say 7 minutes is all you need. Sure, if you’re 7 minutes away from the pizza shop. But muscle protein synthesis doesn’t punch a clock after 4 minutes of light squats. To build a TopBum, you need time under tension. You need to sweat enough to make your leggings questionable. Let’s trade the 4-2-1 for some 45-60-3 (minutes, sweat, days a week). Your booty is a monument, not a microwave meal.
Train long, stay strong, and keep it cheeky!
