Burn Baby Burn!Your 21-day RapidLoss Workout Plan On the RapidLoss workout plan you’re going to do two Interval workouts everyday.
The reason why we we’re making you work out first thing in the morning is that you will burn up to 3 times more fat by working out in the morning than any other time of the day. Overnight as you sleep for over 6 hours your body feeds off the food (calories) you had during the day for its energy. By morning all of this energy is used up and if you workout 1st thing in the morning your body will have no choice but to burn the fat that has been stored in your body for energy. Another reason why its important that you workout in the morning is that you increase your body’s metabolism (fat-burning furnace) early on in the day causing you to burn more calories throughout the day. When you do your 2nd workout 6 hours later you will keep your already high metabolism even higher. After you finish your morning workout make sure you eat breakfast (your 1st of six small meals) to give your metabolism yet another boost. Morning Checklist
What is an interval workout? In an interval workout you alternate between low-moderate & high-very high intensities during the workout. For example, you may do an interval workout where you walk real slow for 1 minute and then jog the next minute. You would keep alternating between walking (low intensity) and jogging (high intensity) for 20-30 minutes. If you were to do this walk/jog interval workout for 30minutes you would be doing 15 minutes of walking & jogging. You’ll would really only be working out for 15 minutes by doing the high intensity jogging & the other 15 minute half you’ll basically be resting by doing the low intensity walking. Interval workouts don’t have to be done by switching from low to high intensity each minute. You can do a 20-30 minute interval workout where you walk for 5 minutes and then jog for 5 minutes. A simpler way to do an interval workout is just to walk to certain point (no matter how long it takes you) and then jog to another point. Whatever way you decide to do your interval workout make sure you do equal amounts of high intensity and low intensity. You can use your imagination when coming up with your own interval workouts to do or you can turn to page 20 to see a variety of interval workouts we have already designed for you. We have designed interval workouts to fit anyone’s fitness level. Remember:
How hard I’m I working? To determine if you’re actually working out at a high intensity just use a 1-10 scale. Anything between 5-7 is considered moderate-high intensity. Another way to determine your workout intensity is to do a simple talk test while you’re working out. If you can clearly say "the boy went to school today and did not get in trouble", then you are working out at a low intensity. If your speech is somewhat labored while working out then you are working out a high intensity. The level of workout intensity for certain actives is different for every person. Some people may consider jogging a tough exercise while others may see it as an easy exercise. To determine if an activity is actually a low or high intensity one for you is to use the 1-10 scale or the talk test and not some universal scale that says running is a hard exercise for everyone. For the 21 days you are on the RapidLoss Workout plan you will keep track of your workouts by writing them down along with the time you spent doing the workout in the printable workout log.
