15 Minute Fat Blasting Workout
In corporate America, blue collar America, and even no collar America for that matter, life is speeding up and out of control. With the advent of fast food, came convenience- but also 3 billion pounds of sub-dermal fat! The price of living steadily climbs, while the wages rise much slower, putting Americans in a position where they must devote more time to work and have less and less time to devote to taking care of themselves and their families, much less their own bodies, and health. This makes for a nasty combination for those stuck in the rat race, forcing them to choose between a heart attack or starving to death. For myself and my company, Iron Strong Fitness, you would think that this presents a golden opportunity, yes? After all, the more fat and out of shape people there are in the world, the more business we have, right? Well...It's not that simple. You see, the obesity problem in this country has gotten so bad, that people literally don't even WANT to get in shape anymore, they are so overwhelmed. Why, the other day I saw a special on "Body Acceptance"... I was absolutely floored: people are joining together to actually enjoy being extremely obese, and people are actually trying to get fat! Well I've got news for you: it is NOT ok to be severely overweight and obese. It's dangerous to your health, and dangerous to your kids and other young people around you who are extremely impressionable and are strugging to find identity and acceptance in todays rocket-paced world. If this mindset of laziness and refusal to take personal responsibility for your own health is allowed to prevail, then I have grave doubts about the life-expectancy of the average person holding steady...much less rising- as it should as advances in medicine keep being made! The need for Fast Workouts and quick cardio bouts is rising rapidly, and the amount of time people have available for exercise is steadily dropping. People's health and physical fitness has become the last priority, and people demand an easy workout, and an easy way to get healthy and improve their fitness. So, while there are no short term miracles, or fitness "silver bullets", there are several fast workouts you can do in a jiffy that are sure to help you improve your fitness and get your healthy lifestyle back. So, to answer America's cry for fast, easy workouts, we have created a Fat Blasting 15 minute lunch break workout routine that anyone can do, at any time of the day, to ramp up that metabolism, and ignite a fat burning inferno inside your body! To accomplish this, let's first talk about EPOC or Excessive Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption. EPOC is a large increase in the rate of oxygen intake following intense level of physical exertion. The body uses the extra oxygen in the processes that restore the body to a state of normality and help to adapt the body to the physical activity just performed. Activities like balancing hormones, replenishing fuel stores, repairing damaged muscle tissue, and putting the body into an anabolic state, are all process's that require energy expenditure, and studies show that this elevated state of EPOC can have an effect on the body's metabolism for up to 38 hours! Ok now you understand how EPOC works, but how do we trigger a high level of EPOC? Simple: Fast Workouts, designed with HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) Cardio work, and emphasis on maximum exertion through all movements performed. For your 15 minute fat blaster use the following workout 3-4 times per week for 4 weeks. Be sure to allow at least 1 day of recovery time in between each day of exercise: Ready? Let's get started... Circuit-Super-Set Do the following 3 times, with 30 seconds rest between each C-S-S. For this workout you'll need two 10-25 pound kettle bells, a 6'x 6' area, and an office chair. * 10 Squat Jumps * 10 Thrust Ups (Kneel down on your knees, keep the body upright and erect, let your body drop to the ground, then thrust yourself back up to the starting position) Now, repeat the same format with the following: *25 Calf Thrusts holding kettle bells *10 Explosive Dips Now again with the following: *10 Squat and Curls with Kettle Bells *10 Jerk and Over-Head Presses with Kettle Bells As your fitness level increases, make the workout more challenging by increasing resistance, adding weight, lengthening repetitions, and decreasing rest periods. This fast workout is guaranteed to burn serious fat and get your metabolism pumping, and most importantly will jump start your EPOC for the next day or so to keep you burning calories no matter where you are. Remember, the key to this workout is maximum intensity: put 100% effort into every movement, and take no more than 30 second rest periods. If you follow this workout 3-4 times a week, at the office or wherever you are, I guarantee you'll notice not only a difference in your body, but in your energy levels, alertness, and libido as well!
