Body Weight Exercises
Mistake #1 – Using a Traditional, Ineffective Warm-up
Unless you struggle with nagging injuries – and I realize many folks do – you shouldn’t be wasting your precious time by spending 5-10 minutes on a cardio warm-up.
It does nothing for you.
Eliminate it and use a bodyweight circuit warm-up instead, like the one you’ll find my fitness training clients doing on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the Embassy Row ( The ER) Fitness Facility.
Mistake #2 – Using Traditional Straight Sets for Resistance Training
If you get your program out of old-school magazines, it probably recommends “straight sets” – meaning you do a set, then rest a long time, then repeat the set, etc.
But eye-opening new research shows that non-competing superset training – where you use “opposing muscle groups” in alternating exercises – BOOSTS your metabolism more than traditional straight sets. Limited breaks.
And again, my 600 calorie workout fixes this mistake – by using non-competing Tri-Sets (three exercises) to boost metabolism.
Mistake #3 – Using Traditional Slow Cardio
I won’t bore you with the research I’ve discussed time after time showing you that cardio is inefficient and ineffective for fat loss.
That “something that works better” is interval training, as well as metabolic resistance training. And I can show you a metabolic resistance training circuit that will knock your fat loss results out of the park.
I’m working on a few metabolic circuits right now.
…including the new “CT Bodyweight Cardio 100” workout and the new “CT Bodyweight 1000 Circuit” program.
Both will be implemented into Cross Training’s Tuesday and Thursday workouts in 2011.
Now go out there and burn it up with better workout strategies.
yours in better health naturally,
