I wanted to share a new type of training I'm going to try out along with my current workout routine. It's called Blitz Training and it takes only 4 minutes per day!
My friend, Liana, implemented this with her current training and had some pretty impressive results.
Basically you pick 4 multi-joint movements and do intense bursts of exercise for 1 minute throughout your day, which is supposed to increase metabolism and fat loss!
I will be doing the following moves on my designated HIIT cardio days, which are twice per week ;)
decline pushups first thing in the morning for 1 minute
squat jumps in the mid morning for 1 minute
renegade rows with weights at lunch for 1 minute
box jumps in the early evening for 1 minute
I can't wait to start!!
I also wanted to share a quick Tabata workout that you can use for days you have no time to exercise OR (and this is what I do) you can add them to the end of your weight session to max everything out!
You will need an interval timer or a stop-watch!
You will do four moves, each move for 30 seconds with a 10 second break between moves for 2 circuits.
...feeling like a super star?? Increase the time to 60 seconds! ;)
Burpees 30 seconds
rest 10 seconds
jump lunges 30 seconds
rest 10 seconds
push ups 30 seconds
rest 10 seconds
jump squats 30 seconds
rest 10 seconds
REPEAT entire circuit again right away :)
AND because it's just delicious, I'm gonna share my "recipe" for oatmeal mush =D
For 1 serving:
1/3-1/2 cup dry old fashioned oats
1/2-1 scoop protein powder
1/2 -2 TBSP ground flax seed(DO NOT start with 2 TBSP right away if you are not used to eating)
1-2 TBSP peanut butter or almond butter or PB2
splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (just enough to make it easier to mix)
whatever add in you want:vanilla extract/cocoa/cinnamon/unsweetened coconut flakes etc. etc.
Stir to combine and enjoy! I almost always eat this for my "meal 2" ;)
So, let me hear it!!
Who has tried Blitz Training? And who will try it with me?!?
Are you a tabata fan?
Doesn't my oatmeal mush sound delicious?? HAHA ;)
