Metabolic workouts are big right now. My previous posts related to metabolic work are some of the most popular on my site.
Why is that? Simple, they produce results. Nothing burns fat faster than a good old fashioned high intensity workout. As I stated in my previous post Metabolic Training, What is that? you are burning a ton of calories during the workout, but more importantly continue to burn at a much higher rate even after the workout is over. It is what we call the afterburn effect. (epoc)
Movement Prep or Traditional Warm Up which camp are you in? If you are a coach or work with athletes at all you need to read this.
When I was growing up no matter what sport I was playing at the time the warm up was always the same. As a team, we would get in a big circle and do some stretches, then do some calisthenics and finally go for a 5 -10 minute jog. When that was finished we would do our respective sport specific warm ups. Throwing and some swinging for softball and lay-ups and some jump shots for basketball. In my opinion, this is what I call a more traditional old school warm-up.
I get a lot of questions about programs. Often times people send various ones in for review. Some are good most are not. I thought it might be helpful if I put a list together of the most important things I feel should be in every workout routine.
Advanced Metabolic Workout
As promised here is the video for the Advanced Metabolic Workout using the TRX. In the video to save time I only showed the right leg, remember you need to work both sides of the body. Do the right and left leg back to back for each exercise. If you want your pulls and pushes to be harder go more parallel to the ground.
As promised here is the video for the intermediate metabolic workout. It is important to remember this workout is not for the beginner (or the weak at heart). I’m still recovering from yesterdays workout so if you pay attention you will even catch a few wobbles from me in the video.
I had people talk about my Metabolic Training, What is That post more than any other post I have put up, so, back by popular demand is another post dedicated to none other than – More Metabolic Workouts.
Metabolic training, what is that and is it going to hurt me? I hear all kinds of crazy questions when people start talking about metabolic training or metabolic conditioning. The most frequent question is, “what is it”? In simplest terms it refers to exercises that will improve or enhance the body’s energy systems. (And as an added bonus burn fat like crazy)!
I am home from vacation. Tulum Mexico is a very beautiful place to visit. This picture was taking from the ruins. There was so much to see and do, we were able to stay busy from sun up to sun down.
This is one of my all time favorite workouts. It uses very little equipment and the exercises you do not have the equipment for are easy to change up. Generally I have a specific routine I am following and my training plan is laid out for me. However there are days when I don’t feel like doing it for some reason. (Yes, it happens to the best of us.)
I wanted to give you an update on how Rob was doing with his transformation workouts. He has made it through the Get Moving Level with flying colors. He never missed a workout and really changed some of his poor eating habits.
