Hi, Good Morning!

Today I am kicking spring into gear and starting the April TT AAA Abs workout. I started Turbulence Training back in January and since then lost 7lbs, lots of inches (my clothes are all loose) , put on some muscle and tightened up the NOT SO tight spots on the bod!! Thank God for TT! The interval workouts got me off of the cardio machines (I hate long slow cardio!) , gets me out of the gym within 20 min AND I'm burning fat all day long! I finally proved to myself that it's possible to burn fat with short bodyweight workouts. Check Turbulence Training out and let Rachel and I know what you think! There's a workout for everyone no matter what level you're at! Catch up with you later! Linda*

Saturday morning workout

I woke up this morning-usually go to 8:00 bootcamp, but was not up for it. I've been real sore from my kick a** turbulence training workouts I did all week. So today I decided to do just cardio and give my body alittle break.

I love to run, but with the brutal winter we've had, I haven't run much at all. Cardio machines are pretty torturous for me , as I get so bored! I love doing my cardio outside, so even know it's a pretty gloomy day, its warm and I decided to take advantage of it.

I usually run about 3 1/2 miles (I love it for my head more than anything), but today I was short on time, as I have to teach my kids class this morning. So I did my hill sprints. AWESOME WORKOUT and it only takes about 20 minutes.

This type of workout is perfect for fat loss and great when you need to get a quick workout in, but want to make it count! I'm not a fan of long, slow cardio and you will hear me continually say that. My explanations why, for another time. Now, for my workout. We have a large hill in our town (the main road) and it is a couple block from me. So here's how my workout goes:

• I warm up by jogging to the hill (about 5 minutes)


• Start at the bottom of hill and sprint up as fast as I can (approx. 25-30 secs)


• Walk down or slow jog (about 30-45 sec)


• Repeat the sprints 8 times


• Run home (5 minutes)
  

By the 6th or 7th sprint, my heart rate is really up! It is a great, quick workout that is more intense than any long, slow cardio workout... and remember, you will continue burning ALL DAY after this type of workout. When you perform your cardio at an intense level like this (intervals), your body will spend the rest of the day expending energy to recover from the challenge you just put it through. This is called EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) and it means that you consume more oxygen from an intense workout than you would from a slow steady cardio workout, no matter how long that workout is.

So my advice to you is find some type of cardio you like and try intervals. It a great way to burn fat!

Good luck!
