*** STEP 3 *** Get your summer body ready to rock

So following on from last week's blog, step two for what to do to get your summer body in shape!

Here is a little recap on step one and step two :)

So... Step #3: Choose Sprints Over Long Distance Cardio

Long distance cardio, is all about efficiency. It trains the body to use the least amount of energy to produce the greatest amount of work.

Nothing about aerobic exercise is in line with the goals of fat loss or muscle building. Remember, we are MACHINES! Which means the body adapts so quickly to repetitive aerobic exercise. If you are doing steady state cardio for fat loss then you are choosing the least effective means to reach the end goal (of fat loss or muscle building... if that's what you're going for...)

Sprint training, on the other hand, works wonders because it applies a lot of metabolic stress to the body in the same way that lifting weights with short rest periods does.

How To Do It: There’s no end to sprint training options:

Beginners: Try 8-second cycle sprints with 12 seconds rest, repeated for 20 min.
Intermediate trainees: Try 30 seconds jogging, 20 seconds at 80 percent, and 10 seconds sprinting, repeated for 20 min.

Experienced trainees: Try six 1 minute all-out rower sprints with 12 military burpies then take 2-3 minutes rest. Or even Prowler sprints...
