Feel the Burn!

I want to share some tools I use in my workouts that help me burn more calories and also help build endurance:)




1. When I'm working on abs, legs, arms, or calves I use the "1,2,3 and 4" method.(Yes I just made that up.)During your reps, slowly sink down into 4 second increments and return to resting position keeping that 4 second pace. If you want to start out easier then use a 2 second pace, but if you're a daredevil use an 8 second pace that will for sure keep you from sitting down normally on the couch for a couple days. Want to feel the burn even more? Pulse for 12 seconds when you've reached that final pace number.


2. One thing I've learned is that it is much harder to run once I've slowed down my pace and try to bring it back up again. What does that mean? Yes, more unbearable pain! And don't we love it. When you're running, go for as long as you can and when you feel like you're going to die slow down your pace to a comfortable fast walk. Catch your breath for a couple of minutes, then kick up your pace to your regular speed and run until you feel like you're going to die again. Run, die, breathe, repeat. Run, die, breathe, repeat. When you slow down and then bring up the pace again, your heart has to work fast to bring the energy back up that you lost. And what does that mean for us? More calories burned!


If you want a detailed list of my workouts or my eating plan send me a message on here or over Facebook and I'll write it down for you:)


Until next time!
