Eagan Personal Trainer Gives Five Reasons Why The Body Project’s Boot Camps Help you Lose Fat Fast
Weight Loss Camps and Fitness Boot Camps at the Body Project give you a lot of bang for your buck.
Reason #1) Use intense resistance training
NOTE: This doesn’t just mean lifting heavy weights…it could also
mean doing difficult bodyweight exercises or even explosive exercises
With equipment like rubber tubbing and medicine balls
(like I use in our functional interval training circuits).
Here’s why…
Intense resistance training stimulates what is called muscle protein
turnover. This is important for two reasons:
a) It causes your body to burn extra calories and belly fat when you
are not training (so while you recover, etc.).
b) It stimulates muscle re-modeling.
That means it will help you maintain your muscle (and sculpt your
body) even while you are eating fewer calories and burning fat.
However, if you rely only on light weight & high reps, you won’t
keep that muscle and your metabolism will decrease. Our bootcamp instructors
Make sure you are always pushing yourself just a little harder.
Reason #2) Switch from slow boring cardio to interval training.
Research shows that interval training is more effective for burning
belly fat than regular cardio – even when you don’t change your diet!
Interval training is what separates people with 20% fat from those
men and women with the lean, athletic, sexy abs body type.
Interval training also builds better sport conditioning and
“everyday fitness” that is more practical in life.
For example, how often do you ever need to run 5 miles? Pretty much
never, right?
But how often do you need to climb a few flights of stairs or chase
one of your kids? Those are every day demands…and will be best
improved by interval training, not 30 minutes on the elliptical machine.
Reason #3) Use non-competing supersets to do more work in less time.
By using this system of non-competing supersets,
where you do 2 unrelated exercises back to back, you’ll avoid
muscle fatigue and get more work done in less time.
Therefore, you’ll burn more calories compared to traditional workouts.
This is one of the major reasons why The Body Project’s programs are so efficient and effective.
Reason #4) Use Total Body Workouts
Skip the classic bodybuilder method of doing one body part
per day. That will only give you overuse injuries and a big body set
up for more injuries & chronic pain in the future.
Not what you want, right?
Of course not, so switch to three total-body workouts per week,
using a variety of exercises, and when possible, using a variety of
training methods – from dumbbells to kettlebells to bodyweight
exercises and even rubber tubing and medicine balls.
None of these methods is magical, and you can get amazing results
no matter what combination you use.
Rule #5) Change Your Workout Every 4 Weeks
The Body Project’s workouts are changed frequently and sometimes every 3 weeks for advanced results.
Why?
To avoid the dreaded fat loss plateau. If you’ve been doing the same
workout over and over for more than 4 weeks, your results will slow
down and eventually come to a complete stop.
You MUST change your program…and that’s we constantly challenging our clients with new exercises.
