Get Back on Track

I seem to have fallen off the fitness wagon this week! Not sure if it is the cold weather or guys bumming me out, or just feeling run down... It's not like me to miss a day of working out but I will admit I didn't frequent the gym very many times!

Tonight I decided to get back on track and am going to schedule my workouts next week and mix it up. I plan on taking a few cycle classes and incorporating some BURST training, and weights into my regimen. I'm an outdoor exercise person, so winter usually kills me! If it snows more I can snowshoe! :-)

I stopped by the Regional Wellness Center (RWC) in Estherville this afternoon and talked to the director. I will be teaching one of my BURST training exercise classes on Friday, December 27th from 6:00-6:30 AM during their free fitness week! The class is free to members and $5.00 for non-members.  

If you haven't taken one of my classes and would like to try it out this would be a great time to do so! BURST is a quick interval training workout that spikes your heart rate, burns fat, builds lean muscle, and boosts your metabolism! All ages and levels are welcome. Please call the RWC to sign-up! Space is limited! 712.362.8484.  Here is a sample of what to expect:


 


If you are unable to make it to my class I also offer one-on-one sessions and even create customized workouts if you do not live in the area or workout in your home. BURST can be done anywhere with little or no equipment! If you need some motivation I would love to workout with you! I could use a boost myself!!

Only have 15-30 Minutes a Day to Workout? Perfect!

Burst Exercise Training

When people think about exercising to lose weight they immediately think about spending countless hours of pain on the treadmill, spending hours in the gym, on the bike or in an aerobics class.  While there are many cardiovascular benefits to aerobic exercise, it can actually be doing more harm than good. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is released during long aerobic work-outs. It actually increases fat storage and muscle break down.  You are never going to lose the 10, 20, 50 extra pounds by designing your body to store fat and decrease lean muscle. 

The idea of working out is to burn fat, increase lean muscle and supply your body with oxygen.  The exact opposite of what aerobic exercise does for the body!
The best and most efficient exercise is a high intensity, short duration work-out.  This is BURST TRAINING!  You give a short burst of maximal energy out put. When you do this type of work-out it produces a hormone HGH (human growth hormone).  This type of work-out safely shocks the body’s physiology into becoming a muscle building, fat burning machine. 
Instead of burning fat for an hour on a treadmill, a burst training session will spike your metabolism, produce HGH, and build lean muscle that will keep your body burning fat for up to the following 48 hours!!! The benefits to exercise and increasing muscle to fat ratio:  increase energy, fat loss, improve heart and lung health, aid in elimination of toxins, improve libido, better sleep, fight depression and create better self image, manage blood sugar. 
HOW TO BURST TRAIN??? This is a work-out style; it can be done with almost any type of exercise.  It can be done at home with little to NO equipment.  It can be designed to push the most advanced athletes and it is as easy to do for any beginner.  The more muscle groups that are involved in the exercise the better.  Let me teach you how!
