Workout of the Week!

Metabolic training is vital for any weight-loss regimen. When cutting body fat, you should stay in a constant fat-burning state.  One of the best ways to accomplish this is through a metabolic circuit: Depending on your goals, you can alter the weight and reps, but keep the protocol he same. Compound body movements increase heart rate. You then hit specific muscle groups for a more concentrated workout. That way you still get the metabolic effect of training and allows room to monkey with your routines.

Here’s an example of a metabolic circuit. Feel free to try it at the gym:  

Reverse wood chops       15 reps 

Pull-ups                             12 reps 

Chest press on ball          12 reps 

Mountain crossovers        30 reps 

Front Squat to press        15 reps 

Hanging leg raise             10 reps 

Hamstring curls on ball    15 reps 

Repeat three times with a 60-90 second rest between circuits.

This routine is great if you go to the gym 3 times a week.  A complete body workout, it will help shave the weight off if supplemented with a proper diet.

Buon divertimento!
