Once I hit 40, my
exercise programming changed A LOT.Â
Â
One thing that will always work is HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)...
Â
... just not the "HIIT" you're used to seeing.
Â
Once you hit 40, HIIT affects your body in different ways. So...
Â
Here are some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) templates with their benefits...
Â
Zone #1 - Prime
This is when you to "flatline" your body's #1 fat storage hormone - insulin. So you want to "prime" your hormones so that fat is your FIRST source of energy.Â
Â
A few ways to enter zone #1 are a walk for 5-10 minutes, fasting before exercise (keeps insulin levels low) and avoiding eating carbohydrates and sugars by themselves (such as toast with jelly, but no
protein source).Â
Â
When you use these "primers", your body will be poised to enter zone #2, which EXTRACTS stubborn fat and then flushes it out.
Â
Zone #2 - 20-10
Using a simple 20-second exercise burst with only 10 seconds of
rest before repeating in a strategic sequence, this releases a hormone responsible for breaking apart "trapped" fat.
Â
Now when you were in your 20's, you really didn't need this hormone. But now that you are no longer in your 20's, you need to harness the power of this hormone. (We need all the help we can get!)
Â
Zone #3 - 30-30
Use a simple 30-second movement with only 30 seconds of rest before repeating in a strategic sequence.
Â
When this is performed properly you can release 450% more "youth hormones" making you look years younger in just a few short weeks. This movement will put a spring in your step—increasing your
all day energy and accelerating your fat loss even further.
Â
Zone #4 - 60-60
Use a 60-second movement with 60 seconds of rest before repeating in a strategic sequence.
This fat burning shortcut that is THE fastest way to drain your body of unwanted energy reserves
so you can get leaner—FASTER.
Â
Using this approach is for people in their 40's, 50's and beyond, you'll lose fat, but it's much deeper than that. You'll have more energy, too. No more afternoon crashes.Â
Â
However, DO NOT jump into zone 4.
Â
Everything is an a structured, progressive manner. If you want a detailed plan to help you get in shape fast with doable HIIT, then go here:

It's HIIT for the rest of us!,
