Burn Baby, Burn!

Hello workout fans!
The promise this week from personal trainer Rodney Filer ... turning our bodies into a fat burning machine. Sound good? Duh.

"It gives you more bang for your buck!" That's how Filer describes interval training. He says you can burn nearly double the number of calories through this workout compared to steady cardio.

"You wanna get your heart rate to be raised and lowered as many times as possible in a set time," says Filer. He used interval training to help biggest loser contestant Rebecca Meyer drop nearly 150 pounds!!! And Rebecca says she only hit the dreaded plateau one time during the three and half months she was back at home after leaving the ranch.

Another plus is that interval training can be done almost anywhere without a lot of fancy workout equipment. We use Reebok Steps, but you can use the steps in your own home and those at Gray's Lake! Then all you do is alternate between an active phase and a recovery phase. The active phase can be as long or as short as you like, but you'll probably be surprised at how long twenty seconds can feel after a few rounds.

Repeating each sequence of work and rest for an hour or so will improve your heart health and the best part - boost your body's metabolism!!!

If you'd like to try training with Rodney, call 279-0242.

Have a great week!
