High Intensity
Tweet me!

Performing the exercise routines in the least amount of time possible while still maintaining safe and correct posture. High intensity maximizes your time and constantly improves your fitness levels. If aerobic exercise, and what we mean by aerobic exercise is long, slow distance...if that really worked, things like walking or jogging on the treadmill, moving on the elliptical, using the stair-climber or stepmill – then everyone in the gym that is on that equipment, would not be fat! Right?

And yet what precisely you see is that people that need to lose weight never ever get it done that way. The reason for that is muscle burns fat for fuel and if you ultimately want to effect the amount of bodyfat you’ve got then you have to affect your muscle mass. And the only way to affect your muscle mass is by doing exercise that challenges the ability of that muscle mass to produce force. (HINT - it's called resistance training) If you really want to use the best piece of cardio in the gym…then get on the Concept-2 rower. It's the only piece of equipment that works more joints, over a longer range of motion, than any other device in the gym.

Who needs Machines?

Some gyms have devices that are specifically designed for you to use when you watch television. Instead you should be Grunting, Sweating…look everybody knows when they are working out and what we’ve got now is a situation where we have been allowed to fool ourselves because it’s in the interest of the industry to maintain that charade.

Effective exercise is hard! And that’s all there is to it! It’s like anything else, if its easy, it’s probably not effective. The fitness industry is predicated on machine use because it’s only cost effective to train their staff on the use of those machines…in other words, it is cost prohibitive for any gym to hire a strength coach to teach every customer in the gym to do these barbell lifts, those of course being the most effective stimulus for results.
