(I learned about this from a friend of mine, whose mother, who is a doctor, happened to listened to one of the coach's talks.)
This work out consists of four steps and can be done in a matter or 4-5 minutes. The unbelievable thing is that it burns about 600 calories—extend this to 20 minutes and burn up to 2000 calories. Do you know how many calories an hour of running burn? Only about 100-200.
The reason why it is effective is because it is a metabolic work out. Imagine yourself riding a bicycle. You're pushing the pedal for the bike to run, but notice that even after you stop pushing the pedal, the bike continues to run for a while. That's how it works. It engages different muscle groups in the body, so even after the actual exercise, the metabolic effect is still active up to 24 hours.
HERE ARE THE STEPS
How to do lunges |
- 10 basic jumping jacks
- 10 squats, arms raised
- 10 push ups
- 10 lunges for each leg
- Repeat these steps until the 4 or 5 minutes is up
As you can see, these are very basic. Coach Jim Saret said that you can do this exercise any time. You can visit Coach Jim Saret's website if you want to know more.
It'd probably take 60 full mins of soccer to get the same calorie burn! I'll personally try this out and see what happens... Salamat!

ReplyDeleteA 4 min workout DO NOT burn 600 cals!
I think the basis for the 100 to 200 calories burned in 1 hour of exercise is for people with sedentary lifestyle. Of course, any workout is useless without eating a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices.
