Gone are the days of endless workouts in the gym! Less is more when it comes to exercise and fitness. I don’t know about you, but this is great news for me. And it’s not just a gimmick or a way to appease those of us who don’t live to work out! So what’s the scoop here?
Burn fat in less time: A routine anyone can love
Elite fitness models, would-be Olympians and celebrities alike know the secret to burning fat and getting into top condition. Like many of us they use weight training as a central part of their fitness routines, along with some stretching and endurance activities like jogging.
The difference is that whatever activity they do, the focus is on doing short sets of high-intensity exercises. The body responds to short bursts of intense exercises by building increased levels of HGH, or human growth hormone. You may have heard about this wonder hormone and its’ power to keep you youthful and fit. HGH is released as a way to help us literally survive, and it helps us to do so by reducing body fat and increasing lean body mass.
In addition to weight lifting, other forms of exercise that you can incorporate into your high intensity routine are jogging and sprinting, using the Stair Master, cycling and swimming. In each case, the key is to keep moving with little pause between sets of activity. Also, keep the intensity level varied. For example, try jogging normally for 5 minutes, then sprinting in intervals of 30 seconds with 1 minute cool downs in between. Repeat 4 or 5 times and you’re done for the day!
The good news is that you can do your routine in less than half the time than you normally would, and enjoy as good or better results than you’d see with traditional workouts. Many people see great results by doing about 30 minutes of high intensity workouts only 3-4 times per week! One diet that includes this approach is the Truth About Six Pack Abs, which could be the perfect solution for your fitness goals.
