Your clients are always looking for a
quick fix? You know it isn't possible. You've tried to
get them doing a little extra "cardio" on their own. You
know the deal with fat burning, weight loss, and spot
reduction, yet clients just don't want to listen. Forget
it, just up the pace, and force them to adjust. Don't
worry, they will and this is a completely safe,
well-researched way to do it.
Help your client's burn 500 calories
or more in just 45 minutes. And, get them stronger at
the same time. It's true. I have done the metabolic math
to prove it. Of course, as a prudent trainer, you may
need to make a few adjustments.
For each exercise, pick a moderate
weight that you know you can get for 15 reps, even
though you will be doing less per set. The name of this
game is "PACE" and the goal is to finish. Pick
easy-to-perform large muscle group exercises where loss
of form (from fatigue) will not be a problem. Having
said that, good technique is still a must!
The recipe looks like this:
Ingredients:
Treadmill or Bike (Appetizer)
Seated Row
Chest Press
Rest
Military/Shoulder Press
Lat Pull-down
Rest
Lunges Alternate (8 per side,
controlled this acts as its own superset)
Rest
Abdominal Crunch
Low Back Extension
Rest
Leg Press (16 reps to Finish)
Appetizer:
15 Minute Interval Jog-Walk:
Start at 3mph on treadmill for 3
minutes
Increase to 5-6mph for 1 minute
Drop to 3-4mph for 30s
Repeat for 12 minutes total
Calorie Burning Instructions:
12 reps moderate to fast consistent
pace
15 seconds rest to switch exercises
30 seconds rest between pairs
3 circuits keeping pace up
So, what do you do if you client is
severely overweight or very sedentary. Back down on the
weights and cut down the speed of the treadmill. Extend
your rest periods to 1 minute, and take an hour. Oh, and
by the way, for those that are in great shape, pick it
up a notch, add two more exercises to the circuit and
perform for 4 complete circuits.
