Shaun T Insanity Workout (available @ www.extremefitnessresults.com INSANITY Workout (aka Insanity Fitness) is a 60-day cardio-based total-body conditioning program thats perhaps the most intense workout ever put on DVD. Fitness expert Shaun T drew on his collegiate track and field training plus his subsequent years of experience as an elite trainer to create a program that takes total-body conditioning to an extreme level. Just as P90X is the height of resistance training, so INSANITY is the pinnacle of cardio training. Why Does the Insanity Workout Work? Secret: Interval Training Interval training allows you to beat the stress adaptation response, which is what happens when your body gets used to exercising at one level of exertion and stops improving. An interval workout includes a set where you perform at your maximum, followed by one of lower intensity, with the cycle repeated to achieve a cumulative effect. SHAUN T INSANITY uses MAX Interval Training which replaces your moderate intensity exercise with maximum-intensity exercise, and your short intervals of intensity with short periods of rest. Adding high-intensity exercise, during which your heart rate is raised to 80 percent or more of its maximum capacity, forces your body to use fast-twitch muscle fibers not normally engaged in cardio exercise. These fast-twitch fibers continue burning extra fuel even during lower-intensity exercise. INSANITYs high-intensity activity is likely to have you working out at over 85 …

Click here to get started: www.TurbulenceTraining.com The interval training portion of your workouts is very important for fat loss. Not only has research shown that long, slow cardio doesnt work that well for fat burning, but studies also show that interval training works better to help you lose belly fat. Unfortunately, just saying the words interval training can spare people, plus some trainers make interval training far too complicated for people who have never done interval training in the past. The great news is that interval training can be done by everyone, even beginners, provided you have them exercise at the right level of intensity for their fitness level. Generally, I recommend people use the stationary bike for their interval training workout simply because it is easy to transition between hard an easy and you don’t have to worry about falling off the treadmill or advanced sprinting. Also, you’ll need an extra warm-up with sprinting intervals. In this example I am going to use the treadmill and I recommend doing your interval training immediately following your strength training. However, if you aren’t fit enough, then you can do interval training or cardio training on your off days instead. Just be sure to have 1 full day of rest. For your intervals, you will want to train 3 days Below I am going to detail 3 interval training workouts from the beginner preparation phase. Workout A Start …

www.hiitmantraining.com This workout consists of 8 rounds of medicine ball burpees, using the Tabata Protocol (20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest per round). After completion of this exercise, there is a 60 second rest period. Then, begin the next exercise with countdowns using pushups and explosive jumps. Countdowns are simply intervals workouts that start with 10 reps for each movement have a 10 second rest period between “sets.” Each successive set starts with one less rep. Once you reach 5 reps, eliminate the rest period between sets. If you’re very pressed for time, this workout will deliver. Prepare to sweat and breathe heavy. Once this becomes easy for you, simply add more intervals to the burpee exercise and do explosive pushups for all intervals in the countdowns. You definitely need an interval timer for this exercise program. The one I use can be picked up at www.gymintervaltimer.com

As long at you are doing some form of interval training and you’re doing it consistently, then that’s what matters most. So, you may have heard people talk of the Tabata training where you go really hard for 20 seconds and then follow that with 10 seconds of easy recovery and repeat that cycle for 8 times. That’s fine, but what I want to convey is that there is nothing magical about Tabata when comparing it to say 30 seconds hard, and 60 seconds easy. Personally, I prefer to follow the latter training outline because it’s a lot easier to do with machines. We need to understand that at the end of the day, it’s going to give you the same results. Some people may want to finish their interval training portion of the workout faster, and in that case, you may want to follow the Tabata method. If you’re doing 20 and 10 for 8 cycles, then that’s only 4 minutes! A quick yet super effective workout. You may have also heard about the research on interval training showing 3-6 minutes of exercise per week, is as good as …
