BURST TRAINING
Burn Fat 5x Faster!!
Burn Fat 5x Faster!!
3 Modes of Exercise
Resistance/Strength Training
Cardio/Aerobic Training
Flexibility/Stability
Resistance/Strength Training
Primary Hormone Response
Raises Growth Hormone
Essential for fat mobilization, signals fat burning enzymes, aids muscle mass development, raised most during sleep
HGH is released in the body in direct proportion to exercise intensity
Resistance Training
Muscle is your “metabolic girdle” : it holds everything in tighter and raises your metabolism
Raises Testosterone
Aids with fat burning and muscle mass development.
Resistance/Strength Training
Benefits
Increases Fat Free Muscle, bone density and Metabolism.
Factors Influencing Metabolism in Normal Adults
Lean body mass was found to be the single predictor of metabolism. The previously presumed influences of sex and age are shown to add little to this estimation.Cunningham JJ. Am J Clin Nutr. 1980 Nov;33(11):2372-4
Sugar Burners eat muscle. Fat Burners keep muscle which increases metabolism.
Resistance/Strength Training
Benefits
Improves glucose tolerance and increases insulin receptor sensitivity.
Creates a bigger metabolic afterburn than that of aerobic exercise.
Flexibility-Stability
Benefits
Protects Spinal disks (comprise 25% of height)
Increases Oxygenation to Brain by 30%
Lowers incidences of Pain & Fatigue.
Keeps brain young by increasing circulation of CSF to the brain
Aids detoxification, stimulates the lymphatic system
Decreases risk of death from spinal compression
Cardio/Aerobic Training
Hormone Response
Raises stress hormones and “endorphins”
Cortisol stimulates appetite, is catabolic, increases fat storing, slows down or inhibits exercise recovery
Decreases testosterone
Decreases immune system post exercise
Cardio/Aerobic Training
Benefits
Lowers Resting Heart Rate and increases Stroke Volume
Increases HDL cholesterol
Lowers Blood Pressure
Keeps brain young by increasing circulation to the brain
Aids detoxification, stimulates the lymphatic system
So how do we get the benefits without the negatives?
Burst Train to Burn Fat
What is Burst Training?
Exercising at 90% to 100% of max effort for 30 to 60 sec. to burn bodies stored sugar (glycogen).
Causes body to burn fat for the next 36 hours to replace your bodies vital energy (glycogen) stores.
Only 3 to 4 sets of 30 to 60 sec. bursts 3 X week.
More is not better (must have one day of rest).
Do you want to look like a marathon runner or a sprinter?
The Truth on Fat Burning,
Metabolism and Caloric Expenditure A mall walker or a weight trainer?
The myth of Long Slow Distance Aerobic Training: total daily energy expenditure is far more important for fat loss than the predominant fuel used during exercise
High-intensity sprint training protocol achieved significant reductions in body fat
Research by Hickson et al showed that the predominant fuel substrate used during exercise didn’t play a role in fat loss; rats engaged in a high-intensity sprint training protocol achieved significant reductions in body fat despite the fact that sprint training relies almost completely on carbohydrates as a fuel source Hickson, R.C., W. W. Heusner, W.D. Van Huss, D.E. Jac Psaledas. Effects of Dianabol and high-intensity sprint training 8:191-195, \976.
Pronounced Fat Loss in Rats that Exercised at a High Intensity
Pacheco-Sanchez et al found a more pronounced fat loss in rats that exercised at a high intensity as compared to rats that exercised at a low intensity, despite both groups performing an equivalent amount of work. Pacheco-Sanchez, M., and K.K Grunewald.

two exercise protocols.JAm.
G'ol. NUll: 13:601-607,1994.
Fat Expenditure
There is a greater increase in fat expenditure after high intensity exercise due to the GH release.
There is a positive relationship between carbohydrate expenditure during exercise and fat expenditure during recovery. Pritzlaff, Wideman, et al. (2000) Catecholamine release, growth hormone secretion, and energy expenditure during exercise versus recovery in men.” J Appl Physiol. Sept;89(3):937-46
Significant loss in body fat in a group that exercised at a high intensity of 80-90% of MHR
Bryner et al found a significant loss in body fat in a group that exercised at a high intensity of 80-90% of MHR, while no significant change in body fat was found in the lower intensity group which exercised at 60-70% of MHR, again no significant difference in workload existed between groups. Bryner, R. W., R.C. Tome, I.H. Ullrish, and R.A. Yeater. The effects of exercise intensity on body composition, weight loss, and dietary composition in women. J. Am. Col.
Best Time to Exercise
First thing in the morning on an empty stomach
Best compliance
Raises growth hormone
Testosterone highest
Insulin lowest so aids with fat burning
Turns on metabolism
Supplements that Support the Program - Whey
Whey
A very easily digested source of essential amino acids. Whey protein is the most bioavailable form of protein and has been found to be the superior form of protein for building muscle.
Helps you maintain and build lean muscle mass.
Add 25 grams as your protein source in your post workout meal.
Supplements that Support the Program - L-Glutamine
High-intensity training can drop normal glutamine blood levels by as much as 50%.
Supplementing with glutamine pre-workout has been found to reduce the post-exercise decline in blood glutamine levels.
Supplements that Support the Program - Carnitine
Carnitine
Increased levels of Carnitine lead to increased levels of fat burning.
Carnitine also helps reduce cravings, improves energy and helps maintain muscle mass while losing fat mass.
Carnitine raises the lactic acid threshold thus potentially helping to reduce post exercise soreness.
Supplements that Support the Program - L-Carnitine
Dose 3 grams (3,000mg) for ten days
One gram three times per day
Supplements that Support the Program - Zinc
Zinc
An essential mineral that lowers adrenal response to exercise by 40-60%
Take 25mg before your workout.
