Exercise: Speeding up your metabolism

In order to shed the pounds you must do more than just exercise, you must exercise effectively! This is done by you speeding up your metabolism.

The only way to speed up your metabolism is to have a well structured nutrition and exercise plan!

Here are 2 drills that you can implement in order to achieve the fitness level and body you desire

Squat and Jump:

This basically consist of a combined couple of movements that are designed to wake your body up! In other words, if you want to lose the weight the best way to do it through your exercise is to perform movements that consist of short burst of intense movements. With this particular drill you are going to properly perform a squat and a jump in combination.

Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Perform a proper squat and allow your arms to swing back as your butt and hips sit back. Go to a squat depth to where your thighs are parallel to the ground.

From here immediately come out of your squat and immediately squat again making sure that again your arms swing back with your hips.

This time when you come out of the squat execute a vertical jump by triple extending at your ankles, knees, and hips!

Basically you are squatting first and then immediately performing a squat jump. Repeat this process over and over in rapid succession until you complete your set.

Squat and Push-Up Combination:

From here you will simply perform proper body-weight squats as explained in the first drill. Attempt to execute the squats in rapid succession and with good form.

Perform 50 of these in a row. As soon as you are finished immediately drop down into an upright push-up position and once again attempt to reel off 50 form perfect push-ups!

This is a sure way to help you get in shape fast.

Exercise: A powerful 2-Part Workout

Exercise: A powerful 2-Part Workout

If you want to achieve astounding cardiovascular fitness then you have to train intense!

Thats right, I mean you have to have an attitude that you'll either succeed in gaining big results or die trying. There is no gray area!

The following 2-part workout that I have included below certainly "fits the mold, and oozes with that attitude!"

Part 1: The Overhead Dumbell Swing:

For this drill you will have to have a moderately heavy dumbell to kickstart your cardiovascular training. To start the drill simply squat to pick up the bell. Perform a normal dumbell swing by flexing and extending your hips and knees in a continuous snapping motion.

This will allow you to swing the dumbell from between your legs all the way up to above your head in a wide arc.

This drill is much more intense than the traditional chest level swing. To build great cardiovascular endurance execute 50 repetitions of these in the first part of your intense 2-part workout! When finished immediately transition to part 2.

Part 2: Dumbell Squat Jumps:

For this part of your intense training you will need 2 relatively light dumbells of equal weight. Stand on flat ground and pick the bells up holding one in each hand.

Next, you will want to perform squat jumps while holding the bells in each hand on each side of your body. Make sure that you perform a perfect form squat every time and explosively elevate your body off of the ground.

Every repetition should be performed in rapid succession. Start out by executing 15 to 20 repetitions immediately following part-1 of your intense cardio workout.

When finished give yourself about 3 minutes rest and repeat the process 2 more times! Train hard and enjoy.
