Peak 8 Training

Here's another great tool to get a fast, effective workout in 20 minutes. Dr Joseph Mercola calls it Peak 8 training and it is another style of interval training which is incredibly beneficial to the body. 

So what you want to do is any exercises that gets your heart rate into what's called an anaerobic state which simply means your heart rate is really high. I prefer to do hill sprints, it may be different for you just make sure whatever it is, it gets you anaerobic. After you have an exercise you do it for 20-30 seconds then rest for 90 seconds. Don't just stop, walk on the spot, keep the body moving. Then do it again until you've done 8 sets.

German Volume Training

This is one of the best strength routines I've used and I still incorporate aspects of it into other routines as well.

I like it for several reasons:
1. The weight you use is lighter than you would use in most other routines so the likelihood of hurting yourself is much lower.
2. It causes you to slow down each repetition and therefore recruit all the muscle fibers.
3. It works.

Read up on it by Clicking Here. You'll really enjoy the change in routine but please don't use all the horrible weight gaining supplements with the routine. There's nothing better than eating whole foods.

For any women reading this don't shy away because you may be scared of "getting too muscular." You don't have the testosterone to put on big muscles. Your body DOES NEED resistance training to build muscular strength but, more importantly, bone density.

Apple Bowl Stair Workout

Many people have heard of exercising by running up stairs. Well here is a workout that I've come across that is very challenging and a lot of fun. If your body isn't ready to be pushed this hard yet then you can make simple changes to the routine.

The way this routine works is do the first exercise 3 times then move on to the next and do it 3 times and keep following this pattern. You may need to start by only doing one of each move or even two and that's fine. Everyone is at a different fitness level.
