4th of July might be almost as abused as the winter holidays. The amount of greasy, fatty, and fried foods along with alcohol can be quite impressive by some individuals. Hopefully getting it out of the system and seeing the impact of the crazy weekend makes one very motivated to train! Yep, Monday seems to be New Years resolution day most weeks. Well, instead of jumping on the treadmill or the elliptical I have developed a system of training to help burn fat. Our sandbags seem to be a perfect vehicle for this training.
As I put the finishing touches on the new Sandbag Fat Loss course, I want to discuss one of the principles that help tremendously. As many of you know by now, interval training has been shown to be far more effective for fat loss than steady state cardio. If you want to read more on this specific topic you can read my article, Interval Fat Loss Training Yet, sprinting and other forms of interval training do not seem realistic for many.
To get around having to be on cardio equipment or fight the elements, or bad running habits is to focus on big bang strength exercises. Our sandbags can be used for well over 200 drills and we can find a few to help that fat burning process.
This week I am discussing the value of density training and focusing on four exercises. I know, doing only four sounds insane! Hey, I didn't say these were four easy exercises. In fact, performing these four will hit every muscle from head to toe and everything in between. They focus on strength and power, mobility and stability. Watch this week's video on how to optimize density training to start burning off the hotdogs, beers, and other goodies you indulged in this past weekend!
