Fan The Flames of Fat Metabolism

Do you want to get lean, strong and toned in as short a time as possible?

A great fat loss and fitness programme is simply not complete without a good Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) component.

Cardio work (like running cycling and swimming) and strength work (like the Turn Back Time protocol) allied to a sensible, energy controlled diet are essential for optimum health and fat loss.

But if you want to burn fat and get really fit, the fourth ingredient is brief (30-45) minute MRT session like Target Toning at Fitness (TTF) at the SG

Metabolic Resistance Training is a term used to describe a session which moves quickly between multiple short bursts of exercise types. It use enormous amounts of calories in a very short time. Effort is reduced because of the short duration and relatively long rests between similar exercises.

Science shows that classes like Target Toning and Fitness are probably the one of the best ways to use your time exercising.

Agility, power, VO2 max, muscle tone strength and aerobic fitness are all improved rapidly. Allied to the use of Myfitnesspal you can burn off fat rapidly. People have lost up to 6.5 stone starting with TTF.

There are three main reasons why classes like TTF are so effective.

One is that they use Peripheral Heart Action training. By moving from lower body to upper to core repeatedly, huge demands are placed on the CV system, forcing you to adapt by getting stronger and fitter.

Another reason is that by inserting 30 seconds jogs and other CV between conditioning exercises like Lunges, squats, press ups or planks make them much more effective than simply running at those paces continuously.

The metabolism is also boosted for 38 hours after. See the research here.

Additionally, heart rate monitoring at The Scottish Government shows us that 740 calories were burned in just 45 minutes-more than running at 10 minute per mile but with vastly more strength, power, core and agility work.

So, be sure to include some MRT at least once weekly to burn fat, stay powerful and agile and to boost sports performance.
