Burst Workouts: Simple Quick Routines to Get Lean and Fit
If you are having trouble staying consistent with an exercise program, you are not alone. Many programs focus on long and tiring workouts that usually lead to an eventual "burnout", however there can be another way.
Personal trainer / coach Mike O'Donnell uses his extensive knowledge and experience with training clients to help create a simple effective way for you to workout on your own.
Mike likes to say that real success is in being consistent with the little things that work. Once you understand "why" you should workout in the first place, finding smarter ways to go about it becomes easier.
The method of using shorter intense exercise formats (or "Bursts" as they are called) is written in a well researched yet easy to understand manner. All you need is 10-15 minutes to get going and they can fit into anyone's busy lifestyle.
Inside you will find: - Why only focusing on burning calories through cardio is outdated. (While some activity is good, most people are going about it all wrong)
- Explanation on how all that stored fat gets released. (You have to do this before you can burn it for energy)
- Creating quick full body workout Bursts to optimize the right hormonal responses. (Building lean muscle while also losing fat is the right way to "lose weight" and keep it off)
- Planning for bodyweight, resistance bands, and other forms of resistance.
- How to rotate in different Burst intervals for fat loss, strength and muscle size.
FAQs "Is this good for beginners and/or those more experienced?" Yes, as each movement and interval can be scaled for your own level of strength and ability. Once you learn how to adjust for intensity and resistance factors, you can continue forward with steady progress.
"Do I need a gym?" No. In fact, these workouts are primarily aimed at those who want to do them at home, outside or on the go. Some equipment is useful for movements (and described in the book) but not all necessary.
"Is this ideal for both men and women?" Yes. Unlike what many people think, women do get great results using the same intensity workouts as men. It's not about "bulking up" either, just creating a leaner body and greater muscle definition through the right kind of resistance training.
