DISCOVER MY AUG. WORKOUT


This month {I know a little late starting Aug.} I will concentrate on more compound movements, to increase the fat burning. I will also add “tabatas” after my EDT sessions. The exercise I will concentrate on doing for my “tabatas” is “burpees” [squat thrust] and if my strength is up on a given day will throw in a kettlebell swing with them. Of course each day will include some core/ab work. Tuesdays and Thursdays interval training. I am really into using “WorkoutMuse” with the interval training now. Ok here we go
Monday
EDT
PR1 - 15 minutes
Double Kettlebell Clean and Press

PR2 - 10 minutes
Pull-ups and Dips

Tabatas

Wednesday
I will train using “Turbulence Training” and Interval training. I know this isn’t good to do but I will go by feel on Wednesdays. If I feel my legs need more work, or chest, or back, etc… so be it.

Friday
EDT
PR1 – 15 minutes
Kettlebell Snatches – single arm

PR2 – 10 minutes
Renegade Rows with push-ups [Wearing a weighted vest}

Tabatas

What do you think? Any comments, suggestion?

DISCOVER AN INCREDIBLE INTERVAL TOOL


You are about to discover an astonishing tool to force you to make your interval training more productive. If you are like me, and many others, sometimes you slack off and make your rest time longer or your work time shorter, not intentional of course. I know I do this especially when I am at the gym in the “movie room” [it is like a small cinema with cardio equipment]. I found a way to remove this error, “WOROUTMUSE”. Workout muse is a series of MP3s set up with a warm up, a workout then cool down. For example somme have a 30 second sprint time then a 1 minute rest pace. Now of course you know rest does not equal stop, just a slower pace. The pace of the music drives you through your interval workout, they also have different levels depending on your fitness level. This month they have come out with a 16 week program that includes my favorite “Tabatas”, called “Rapid Fatloss Cardio” that comes with TONS of bonus items. Give WorkoutMuse a try what have you got to lose, except a few punds?

FINALLY...Aerobics Put To Rest


I received this from Dr. Al Sears Newsletter


Ditch the Single Worst Health Idea in the Last 25 Years…
Instead, Sculpt Your Dream Body – In as Little as 10 Minutes a Day!


Far from helping you lose weight – or prevent heart attacks – the biggest mistake of the 1980s only weakened your heart and lungs – and trained your body to make and store more fat.
Do enough, and aerobics will make you sick, tired and old before your time.
You see, when you exercise aerobically, you have to keep the intensity low enough to fuel the activity with oxygen. At this low rate, you have to workout for a long time before it will do anything. This moderate intensity, long duration approach is inadequate – and will likely cause you problems.
And here's why: When you exercise for long periods at a low to medium intensity, you train your heart and lungs to get smaller!
Downsizing Your Heart and Lungsis an Invitation for Sickness and Disease
If you only exercise within your current aerobic limits, you do so without improving your aerobic capacity. In other words, you never push hard enough to stop to catch your breath. This kind of aerobic exercise trains your body for endurance and efficiency.
That sounds great, right?
But this kind of "logic" causes "shrinkage:" Smaller muscles, smaller heart and smaller lungs. What's worse, it wipes out your heart's reserve capacity.
Your reserve capacity is what your heart and lungs use to deal with stress. Injuries or physical trauma, a shocking emotional blow, a particularly intense session in the bedroom with your partner—these all demand reserve energy.
Reserve capacity means your heart has the ability to pump more blood, faster in times of stress. Reserve capacity for your lungs allows them to deal with high exertion like lifting, carrying, running or going up stairs.
Without reserve capacity, you are much more likely to drop dead from a heart attack or pneumonia when faced with stress. No "reserve capacity" in your checking or savings account means bankruptcy. No "reserve capacity" in your heart and lungs means a fatal heart attack or succumbing to what should have been nothing more than bronchitis or "walking" pneumonia.
But a different kind of exercise builds reserve capacity for your lungs, your heart and your blood vessels… and gives you many other health benefits as well.
This kind of exercise, I call supra-aerobics. It is the key to a healthy heart, good muscle tone, high energy, a desirable figure, higher lung capacity… plus it takes a fraction of the time to achieve much better results.
Think of it like a car. Traditional aerobics turns your body into a small car with a small engine. Sure, it's fuel-efficient. But God help you if you need to quickly get out of the way of an oncoming truck. You just don't have the power.
Supra-aerobics, on the other hand, gives your heart and lungs a turbo boost that can get you out of any jam.
Remember… A high output, supra-aerobic workout is exactly what your body needs to increase your lungpower, build reserve capacity in your heart and melt away all that extra fat.
Research proves it. A supra-aerobic workout will help you achieve your fitness goals faster and better than a traditional aerobic workout – and without the debilitating side effects…
A recent Harvard study revealed that those who use supra-aerobic principles in their workouts reduce their risk of heart disease by 100 percent more than those who practice aerobic exercise.
A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that men and women who exercised with supra-aerobic methods had:
-Lower blood pressure
-Lower triglycerides (blood fat)
-Higher HDL (good cholesterol)
-Less body fat
