JOYCE, CAROL, AND PHYLLIS LOST 18.8 POUNDS IN JUST ONE WEEK
Collectively these amazing ladies lost 18.8lbs in one week.
Congratulations to the LIFE Ladies…. Go Team Shredders
Collectively these amazing ladies lost 18.8lbs in one week. Joyce is from the LA area and came to improve her overall health. Already overcoming a lot she was advised by her doctor to get a knee replacement.
Although the outcome may remain the same, she chose to extend her program here and push forward with modifications. Her drive, tenacity, and goal kept her in the race. Now she will be leaving with two exit strategies, one plan for recovery and a secondary for post-surgery.
Carol is from Indiana and prior to coming already lost 60 lbs. The goal and focus was to learn healthy lifelong habits. Phyllis traveled from San Diego and her journey is about self-empowerment and healthy weight loss. At Live in Fitness, our goal for each client is to face adversity and overcome any obstacle.
Only we choose to put limitations on ourselves and what we can achieve, often out of fear. Every client has a backstory and a “Why”. No excuses for these ladies who are amongst many but this week, we acknowledge their hard work, and dedication, and their results speak for themselves.
Lifestyle change is hard but when you have a good support system, a motivating team, and new friendships the journey is easier to travel.
Eric created his Power of 4 Workbook for clients to take their experiences here day by day and step by step and these ladies chose to make a difference.
Congratulations to Amazing Ladies.
It’s Tabata Time
So you are on a time-stricken schedule and you have set aside time to get your work out in. You stretch for 5 minutes.
Do some calisthenics and jump on the treadmill to get your heart rate up and blood flowing. As you are about to get off you think to yourself I don’t know where to start, what should I do first?
You slowly move around the gym to numerous exercise machines and free weights. You are feeling pretty good and just when you are thinking of doing something that is actually going to benefit you your time is up and you have to get back to work.
This goes on for, let’s say a good month before you realize you have accomplished. NOTHING! A huge bummer, you desperately search for a change.
The change starts with a “T” and ends with “Tabata”…Tabata. A highly intense workout that can take your basic movements and put a fire right up underneath them. Twenty seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight rounds.
A total of 4 minutes. Seems easy, but I guarantee you at the end of this you will feel as if you worked out in the gym for hours.
So let’s take this a step further and start adding some of your favorite bodyweight movements to put together a calorie-incinerating workout.
Workout #1: Bodyweight movements only
Start with the push-up following the 20s of work followed by 10s of rest for 8 rounds. When you finish your last repetition of the push-up, catch your breath for 10s and move on to Jump squats.
Continue until you finish with Burpees.
- Push Ups– All the way to the floor and extend the elbows at the top of the push-up.
- Jump Squats– Squat as low as you can and jump as high as you can and catch yourself back into a squat position using your legs as breaks.
- Sit ups– Contract your abdominals and get try to get your shoulders past your hip crease as best as you can
- Burpees– Reach down with both hands, jump both feet back and perform a push-up. Jump both feet back in, stand and jump off the ground.
The high intensity of Tabata really revs up your heart right as well as your metabolism. You can build up our cardio as well as build muscle at the same time. With the combination of increasing your metabolism and lean muscle results in fat going down and strong lean muscle going up.
The more muscle you put on the more calories you will end up burning not just in your workout but during the entire day. You will also burn more calories after your workout doing nothing but resting because of the highly intense nature of the exercises you are performing.
In the end, you will not have to figure out what to do or how long it might take you to get an actual beneficial workout in. After your first Tabata, you will know you can count on it every time.
