You know how earlier
I shared that the exercise type matters and the studies showed how if you do the right type of exercise, you can diet less?
But get this...
Did you know that not one but two 20-year studies confirm that if you take the exercise out of your plan for losing weight, you’ll gain
it?
The first, led by Dr. Arlene Hankinson at Northwestern University, discovered -
“Overall, men who were the most active gained 2.6 kg fewer per year than those who were least active, while the women with the highest level of physical activity enjoyed even greater benefit — they gained 6.1
kg less per year than women in the lowest activity group.”
Second, the National Weight Control Registry has collected research and over the last 20+ years and found that there are 6 self-reported criteria that people use in order to not only lose fat, but keep it off.
Can you guess what Number One
was?
“Engaging in high levels of physical activity.”
In other words - Exercise.
However, it’s important to note that none of the participants in either of these studies reported using the “Specialized Exercise” approach you’re about to
learn.
As I mentioned, not all exercise is made equal. We already established that.
In fact, I had my clients replace their traditional HIIT routines and even their cardio with my unique finishers. They plugged these finishers at the end of their routine and their results went through the roof
without dieting more.
The reason I even "prescribed" these finishers in the first place was because all the cardio was taken up due to the new year rush...
Then when I saw my clients were dropping weight even faster, I knew I was onto something.
Hence, the original Workout Finishers was born (in 2011)...
But...
My programming and philosophy has evolved since then. And really - that's the way it should be.
I've gotten older. My clients have gotten older.
Mobility and flexibility matters more than ever.
It's just one reason I've "retired" the Kong exercise and replaced it with the Leopard Crawl. If I have a client that can't do the Leopard Crawl, I have them
do the Baby Crawl or a standing exercise such as the Cross Crawl.
The difference:
Kong = great exercise, burns fat, can be hard on the joints
Leopard Crawl = great exercise, burns
fat, easier on the joints, improves spinal alignment and mobility
So let's dig in! Plug this finisher at the end of your next routine:
Do the following circuit as a ladder. You'll do 8 reps of each exercise in the first circuit, 7 in the next circuit, etc. until you do 1 rep of each
exercise. You'll do 20 seconds of either the Leopard Crawl, Baby Crawl, or Cross Crawl with EVERY circuit:
- Crossover Lunge, Step-up, or 1-Leg Lying Hip Extension (8e...1e)
- Leopard Crawl, Baby Crawl, or Standing Cross Crawl (20 secs with EVERY circuit)
- DB or Bodyweight Chops (8e...1e)
The Crossover Lunge improves hip mobility and burns a lot of calories thanks to it being an exercise that utilizes a lot of muscle. The Leopard Crawl can alleviate shoulder, knee, and hip pain and burns a lot of fat, while the Chops are a great way to work your core, but also improves hip mobility.
As for most my
finishers, this one looks easier than it really is. You've been warned. :)
It's the "advanced and better cardio" my clients use that allows them to diet less and never step on a treadmill or elliptical ever again.
You can take advantage of this, too with these 100 finishers.
