Here’s a massive transition in terms of terminology you need to make, and the sooner you make it the better.
Doing “cardio” is often seen as the “let’s finish off by burning the fat off” part.
Unfortunately, this is not true. The true fat burning is done in your strength training in workout 1, and all your movement exercises in workout 2, and whilst the air assault bike, rower, ski machine, etc are very valuable and DO burn fat, they alone are not responsible for your massive results. One pound of fat burns 2 calories a day, one pound of lean muscle tissue burns 35 calories day-that’s a powerful fact right there about developing lean muscle, talk about raising your metabolism!!!
ALL of your exercises matter. If you didn’t do strength work, then you wouldn’t re-shape your body, not be able to burn as much calories at rest or fight against osteoporosis. Our weights workouts get you out of breath too, that’s why we only rest 30 seconds in between sets, it challenges you in ALL ways.
If you didn’t do your running on the ladders up the hill, or with bulgarian bags up the hill, or hit the prowlers hard, hit the steps etc, you wouldn’t get so out of breath and you heart and lungs wouldn’t be in such great shape.
If you didn’t do all our movement work in workout 2, you again wouldn’t burn so much fat, you wouldn’t be so flexible and ready for anything in sports etc. You get fundamentally strong doing this workout in all ways, and it can be deeply exhausting to do.
We are proud of all our balance work, they add an amazing amount to your all round ability, make you so much stronger on your feet, hit your core so much harder, create a much stronger back, hips and hamstrings and take a lot of stress off your back full stop. You will never develop such a strong core without balance work.
Our programmes are designed to be all rounders, working every single area and keeping your progress going strong everywhere, instead of being just good at weights or cardio, you NEED EVERYTHING so let’s embrace it.
See our programmes as huge fat burning furnaces, building massive strength levels, amazing heart and lungs capacity and being much stronger on your feet AND OFF your feet. See your programme as getting you ready for ANYTHING, creating huge energy levels and giving you all your inner self-confidence back that you may have thought long gone.
Let’s do it!
