OK…I think you know that sprints or bodyweight exercise alternatives to sprints not only smoke fat faster than any other exercise, but they also will:
– Improve your muscular endurance (meaning even BETTER workouts)
– Burn the MOST calories both during AND after exercise
– Improve your overall fitness (making everyday activities easier)
The 8/12 protocol has been proven in studies that you burn even MORE fat than traditional interval training.
That’s 8 seconds work / 12 seconds rest.
Research shows that there are 3 “magical” exercises that can burn up to 20 calories per minute.
The first two are awesome, but not practical for everyone because they require equipment and PERFECT technique. The third is one you can do anytime, anywhere, no equipment required.
The 3 exercises that can burn 20 calories per minute are:
1) Kettlebell Swings <= Do NOT do unless you have perfect technique
2) Slam Ball Slams <= Tough without a Slammingz Ball!
3) Sprints – comes with a few alternatives, too!
What is a bodyweight complex?
A bodyweight complex is where you perform one bodyweight exercise until full fatigue. Then you immediately go into another bodyweight exercise, then another… and sometimes another.
Then you see spots, black out, and wake up a few days later.
Just kidding on the last part… sort of. 😉
I frequently perform complexes to take my training to the next level whether I am trying to build muscle or lose body fat.
