This morning I decided that I was going to run ,do a bit of skipping and then blow through this amazing Resistance Workout. I actual got the idea from my friend Jamin Thompson, the creator of the 6 Pack Abs Secret...this dude is crazy ripped! - (I'm actually using his Abs Program right now)
Anyway, he also has some great Gym workouts that combine workout elements that are right down my alley. You know that my main method I like to use best is via resistance training circuits and the reason is simple. Of course resistance training allows you to increase your metabolic rate, but here’s the kicker:
Research has proven that not only do you elevate your metabolic rate when doing resistance training, but you can burn fat for up to 16 hours AFTER your workout!
If you’re like me and Jamin, you want to make the best use of your time in the gym, so you really want to try and structure your workout so that you can combine muscle building and fat burning principles together to get great results FAST.
We will be using intense resistance training. Resistance training (weight training, bodyweight exercises, plyometrics) causes your body to burn MORE belly fat AND additional calories while you are at home chilling on the couch.
We will be using total body workouts. Again, I’m preaching workout efficiency here and with that being said, there is no point in training one body part per day like you’re getting ready for a Mr. Olympia contest. Unless you are on heavy doses of steroids (which you better not be) that is a surefire way to fail.
We will be skipping the slow, boring, hamster cardio and using interval training. If you want to ever rock a cover model’s body you DEFINITELY need to start doing interval training. Not only will it take much less time, but research has proven it to be much more effective than normal cardio for burning belly fat.
Check out my morning workout and I added one of Jamin's workouts as well.
