What if I told you there was an exercise technique that could burn more calories—and fat—in less time that was also fun? You may think that I was b/s...ing, or simply lying to you, but when youve tried my workouts you will be amazed at what you can do. During my metabolic training, you alternate between high-intensity efforts and recovery periods. It can be as simple as sprinting in place and then resting for a pre-determined time. Three sessions a week for 30 minutes will sure boost your fitness level, accelerate your fat loss and help you beat boredom. Here are 7 reasons to try my metabolic training yourself, plus tips and workouts to get you started. Metabolic training burn more calories. Most of us exercise at a continuous intensity during our cardio workouts. This is called continuous training. While continuous training is the most common way to exercise and still offers ample benefits, such as burning calories, Metabolic training burns calories quicker. If youre doing metabolic training for 30 minutes it can burn as many calories you would in 60 minutes. Metabolic training burns more fat. Doing short bursts of higher-intensity exercise encourages your body to burn body fat as fuel. A small study from 2007 had eight women in their 20s cycle for 10 sets of intervals (four minutes higher intensity, followed by two minutes of rest). After the metabolic training, the women burned 36% more fat during an hour of continuous training (moderate cycling). The results were published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Other studies have found that even when the workout is over, exercisers have a higher post-workout calorie burn (their metabolism remains elevated) after metabolic training than after continuous training. Metabolic training works for all fitness levels. Everyone from beginner exercisers to elite athletes can perform (and benefit from) metabolic training. Beginners, for example, can use metabolic training to slowly work their way up to higher intensity exercise its all to do with the work to rest ratio intervals .Advanced exercisers can use high intensity intervals to improve speed, power and performance. Metabolic training can boost your fitness level. The same study mentioned above also found that subjects who performed metabolic training improved their cardiovascular fitness by 13%. Another study, also published in the Journal of Applied Physiology (in 2005), found that college-age men and women doubled their exercise endurance after just two weeks of metabolic training. The control group who did not perform metabolic training, showed no improvements in their endurance. Metabolic training works for the tortoise and the hare. Sometimes you feel like doing a hard workout. Sometimes, you feel like taking it easy. Metabolic training is a great alternative to both scenarios, and perfect for people who need to force themselves to change up their programs. Metabolic training can combat boredom. Probably one of the greatest benefits of metabolic training is that it really passes the time, which can make your workouts seem more fun. Rather than drudging away at the same boring training, Metabolic training keeps your mind engaged and helps your workouts go by faster by breaking down one long workout into smaller, more manageable chunks of time. Each exercise you complete is another notch closer to finish time. Metabolic training means less time in the gym. Since youre working harder (for a short period), you can get away with shorter workouts when you perform metabolic training—and the benefits are essentially the same in terms of endurance and calorie burn. This is a great option when youre short on time but want to squeeze in an effective workout, or when you have a hard time committing to exercise in general. The shorter your workouts are, the more likely youll be to stick with them. Ready to try my metabolic training? Call Pete now on 0402 518 769 and schedule an informal consultation.
