Are you looking for a workout that will help you burn more fat in less time? This article discusses the key ingredient that will help you burn the most fat and reach your fitness goals sooner.
People love to look at the magazines in the checkout line. If they aren't looking at a picture of a celebrity going through some life-altering train wreck, their eyes are glued to some body shot of the newest hunk or the current hottie.
I have enjoyed working with celebrities and high-profile clients from all walks of life. I have worked with them one-on-one, where they only come to me for training. And I have also discussed philosophies and collaborated with trainers in New York and Los Angeles to find what works best. No matter what the style of teaching was, the programs all had the following things in common:
Intense workouts always burn the most fat.
Long gone are the days of low intensity workouts, where one spends hours in the gym and follows a meticulous diet. The workouts of today are efficient, precise, power-oriented and fun.
Whether I am working with a mother of three, a famous actress, or a top athlete, my training is all about smarter workouts that are time-efficient and highly intense. This means that clients see fast results.
Your workouts should be short, hard, and full body. If you're spending hour after hour in the gym because you use a low intensity workout, all you are doing is wasting time.
For example, think of those people you see who go over and do a set of straight bar chest presses (I hate this move by the way) then spend 8 minutes talking to the person next to them before they do the second set. Have you ever noticed that those people never look any different, even though they have been coming to the gym for years and years?
You are smarter than that! So get out of the gym in 35 - 45 minutes or less. Never rest longer than 40 - 45 seconds between sets. Better yet, don't rest at all. Just keep changing between core, upper and lower body. This way, two body parts rest while the other one works.
BOTTOM LINE - Get rid of low intensity workouts and start getting rid of fat.
