Outside of poor technique required for certain movements such as squats and many others, there is NO WRONG WAY to work out!
When I say that there is no "wrong" way to workout, it means that as long as your getting your heartrate into your Target Heart Range (THR), you will be burning the maximum amount of fat and calories your body will allow. There is a formula that I use for all my clients when weight loss, tone and even building lean muscle mass is/are the goals. It is very simple and I will break it down for you:
First, find your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR):
(your age) - 220 = X
Second, take the value of "X" and multiply it by 76%-85%:
X(.76) = Y AND X(.85) = Z
Your Target Heart Range will be between Y and Z.... Now, what do you do with these numbers?
Let's say you live near a beach or you just enjoy walking every afternoon. You can get more "pennies on the dollar" with your walk by starting out with your normal pace, after 2-3 minutes speed up your walk to the point where it is going to be a bit challenging to keep this new, brisk pace for the next 60-90 seconds. After 60-90 seconds, slow back down to your normal pace for another 2-3 minutes. During the "normal pace" time, check your pulse by counting the number of beats that is in 15 seconds:
X (15) = your heart rate (HR)
The goal is to push your heartrate into your THR during those 60-90 seconds, then allow yourself 2-3 minutes to recover and catch your breath.
Using this formula, I was able to help a client LOSE MORE THAN 100 lbs. in 10 months!!!!! Her picture and story will be posted in the testimonial section very very soon.
I have given you guys a lot of information and to avoid OVERLOAD, I want you to work on that for the week and for my next blog, I will explain why your efforts may be in vain without using this method which is also called, INTERVAL TRAINING!
Thank you and Don't be lazy today, Lift something and give a hug!
