Cardio Strength HIIT Which is Best? These are 3 of the most common training styles but which is best? Let’s start by defining each. Cardio – Increasing heart rate while causing the heart to work. A sustained effort that an individual can maintain for up to 30 minutes. Strength – Adding a load to a movement and moving that load for a number of repetitions. HIIT – Maximum effort for short periods of time ranging on average from 10-60 seconds. (HIIT – High Intensity Interval Training)   In this episode we take a look at each training style and debate which is best.

This simple workout can be used for any exercise. Pick an exercise and do 10 sets for 10 reps each. This week I did Kettle Bell Squats. Hold the kettle bell in the rack position and squat for 10 reps 10 times.   I really like how easy this is. I actually did this workout while I was watching TV. My daughter got a kick out of it! She just watched me do squats while I watched her watch me. I will do this one again, it was super easy and very effective. My legs were jelly by the end and I felt it the next day. I used a 25 pound kettle bell for weight.

It's a loaded question that has more than one answer. It really depends on your goals and how much time you have.    Here’s my check list I go through How do I feel? Am I sore? When was my last workout? What was my last workout? What are my goals? Where am I going to workout? Gym or at Home? When was my last rest day? How is my mobility?   Are you over training or under training? The theory of the Minimal effective load – More doesn’t equal better https://www.undertenfitness.com/minimal-effective-load-train-less-gain/   Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week. Even small amounts of physical activity are helpful, and accumulated activity throughout the day adds up to provide health benefit. Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Aim to do a single set of each exercise, using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.   Find more workouts at: http://www.undertenfitness.com/ Find the podcast where we give Tips Tricks and Motivation: Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere you listen to Podcasts.

This is the second phase in our series. We already talked about the first phase, Stabilization. You can here that episode HERE. URL: http://undertenfitness.libsyn.com/website/phases-of-training-stabilization This episode we focus on the second phase of training, the strength phase. During this phase the goal is to build upon the stabilization phase by controlling the movements more closely, adding more weight and building some muscle and strength.   The stabilization phase focused on developing balance and coordination. Here we are going to focus on adding weight to those movements but also taking away some of the balance elements. I would never recommend adding weight to a balance movement such as a bosu or exercise ball so for the strength phase I eliminate those elements. For strength I focus on lots of free weight exercises with dumbbells and cable machines. Utilizing a variety of different machines that target individual muscle groups. Also, I keep the reps pretty high here. Around 15-20 reps per set aiming for 3-4 sets. This means the weight will be lower but this will help build good movement patterns along with lowering the risk for injury. This phase will last for 4-6 weeks always building on the week before by adding weight or changing the order of the exercises. This will add a challenge and help provoke some good results. Exercise good for this phase include almost every machine at the gym and tons of free weights. Legs: Back Squats, Goblet Squats, Plate Squats, Lunges, Leg Press, Hack Squat, Bulgarian Split Squats and more. Arms. Bench Press, Tricep Press, Bicep Curls, Tricep Push Down, Seated Rows, High Pull, Lat Pull Downs and more.   This phase is basically a body building phase using higher reps and focusing on good form over muscle growth. Though muscle growth will happen the main goal is developing good patterns before jumping into the true hypertrophy phase.   For a limited time, we are offering a free premium membership to podcast listeners.

Trainers like to use different phases when developing a workout program each building on the one before.   First phase is using stabilization muscles and working on balance and coordination. Workouts will involve little to no weight and will utilize Uni Lateral exercises that force the body to balance. The idea is to get all of the muscles working together and using smaller muscles, your stabilizers to develop a base to first support the next phases. This is a good way to start because you’re in a safer space when just doing body weight exercises. You can develop good movements before you start loading the movement and you can get great results as well. Body weight movement are used by many athletes who are performing at a very high level. You just need to challenge the body and that is as simple as doing movements you're not used to. This phase can last 4-6 weeks and workouts or specific movements can be done daily. When I was training clients, I would recommend they work on the movements that were more challenging for them by doing a few reps throughout the day when they got a chance. A few reps can go a long way.     Here is an example of some of the exercises that you might see in a stabilization phase:  Lunges: Lunges with dumbbells, Lunges on a platform or step, Lunges on a balance pad, Bulgarian split squats.  Arms: Single arm bicep curls, Single arm shoulder press, Single arm lateral raises. Dumbbell bench press on an exercise ball. Balance: Single leg Dumbbell RDL  Standing on a Bosu Ball, Walking Lunges, Side Lunges, Planks, Knee tucks using an exercise ball.   GET A FREE MEMBERSHIP.

Workout of the week – 10-minute circuit.   Alternating Lunges – 10 reps each side, 20 total Pushups – 10 reps Squats – 10 reps Lying Leg Lifts – 10 reps   I set a 10-minute timer and ran through this circuit as many times as I could. Moving from one exercise to the next keeping a steady pace, I took breaks as needed and this workout was pretty challenging after the first couple runs through. I found myself taking short 3-5 second breaks as I needed them especially during the pushups.   Warm up before the workout: Ankle Tilts Spinal Flexion Knee Circles Lunges – Just a few Arm circles Hip Tilts   For a limited time, we are offering a free premium membership to podcast listeners.

9 Minute HIIT – Squat Jumps and Pull-ups This 9-minute workout consists of 9 rounds starting with Squat Jumps followed by Pull-ups with a rest break in between. Squat Jumps 15 seconds AMRAP Pull-ups 15 seconds AMRAP Rest 30 seconds.   For this workout you will need a timer or stop watch. You start by doing as many squat jumps and do as many as you can in 15 seconds. Then you immediately start doing pull-ups and again do as many as you can in 15 seconds. Then you rest for 30 seconds and start again with the squat jumps. You then follow this circuit for a total of 9 round equaling 9 minutes.   I liked the simplicity of this workout and how it both fatigued my muscles and got my heart rate up. It was also nice that it was only 9 minutes. About half way through I felt fatigued and had to refocus my energy. The 9 minutes was tough and I felt very accomplished after this one. Great easy workout that I will do again!    Email: drew@undertenfitness.com Twitter: @undertenfitness Facebook: undertenfitness Instagram: undertenfitness And as always remember – Stay Motivated!

We talk about our current weight loss and gym schedule.

Ultimate Chest Day Workout of the Week 4-2-18 Bench Press – 5 sets 5 reps – 165 lbs. Wide grip Bench Press – 8 reps 5 sets – 165 lbs. Close grip Bench Press – 8 reps 3 sets – 95 lbs. Seated Bench Press with Machine – 30lbs. *note* This machine lets you press each arm independent of the other. I would do a static hold with one arm while pressing with the other. I would do a full rep and stop when I had the pressing arm about one inch higher than the holding arm. I would then move the holding arm into a bench press and stop the other for a static hold. I would alternate this until I was fully extended and take a rest break. You could also do this with a dumbbell bench press by lying on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Starting with the left arm you do a full rep and press up one inch and hold your left arm in a static position. Then do a rep with you right arm and finish an inch above your left arm and hold. You will continue to alternate with each arm until you are fully extended. This movement is great for muscle building and time under tension. As you continuing to press with one arm you never get the slightest break as you’re always under load. It will start to burn pretty quick so I would suggest using a little less weight than you’re used to. Hanging leg lifts – 5 sets 5 reps. Pull ups -  5 sets 2-3reps.

Sprints and Cardio - Workout of the Week 3-26-18 Warm-up Spinal Flexion Ankle Tilts Hip Tilts Leg Kicks   Sprints 15 sets 1 Rep (100 foot sprint)   *Notes* Sprints and Running can be very challenging and hard on the body if you are not used to it. Ease into running when possible. I felt nice and sore after running and felt it in my legs and abs. Sprints are fun and a great way to get in my cardio. I will do this one again.

Weight Loss Series – Diet Adjustments Its been 2 weeks since we started the weight loss series and we have covered the planning and implementation phase. Now it’s time to look at how progress is coming along and make some adjustments. It’s easy to say you will eat 1800 calories a day but it is much harder to put into practice and there are a few lessons to learn along the way such as: Planning: Did you prep your food and decide what you will eat so there are no surprise snacks? Hungry: Do you feel really hungry? Did you set your calorie limit to low? Special occasions and events: Are you able to make positive goal orientated decisions during an event? Find healthy activities to keep you active and moving to help burn some extra calories and not eat out of boredom. Tips Eat less for your first portion. Eat healthier foods so you can eat more. Stay busy to not eat out of boredom. Avoid eating out as much, find healthy items. Find ways to stay active. Stay positive. A good attitude goes a long way.

Shin Box and Turkish Get Ups Workout of the Week for 3-19-18 Warm up: Spinal Flexion Hip Tilts Ankle Tilts Knee Circles Lying Spinal Twists Bridges Shin Box – 3 sets 3 reps each side 60 lbs. Check out video HERE. *Note* Used 2 Kettle Bells, 1 in each arm in the racked position. A 40 & 20 Lbs Bell. Turkish Get Ups – 5 sets 1 rep each side. 40 lbs. Check out video HERE.    Single Arm Bent Over Row (On Bench) – 3 sets 8 reps 60 lbs. Lat Pull Down – 3 sets 120 lbs. *Note* With Lat Pull down every machine is different and you will have to adjust the weight accordingly. I have been to many different gyms and in some cases I can pull a ton of weight on the lat machine and others are very hard. I believe this has to do with the pulley mechanism and friction. Goblet Squat – 3 sets 5 reps – I added these in between Bent Over Rows. I enjoyed this workout and will do it again. I may add some seated rows next time.

Weight Loss Series – Implementation We have a plan of how many calories we are going to eat and how we are going to track those calories and now it is time to put that plan to work. For the next week we will be focusing on adding everything we eat to our calorie trackers which should lead to a calorie deficit and ultimately weight loss. Weekly Goals: Hit the gym 3 times a week. Work on 9 minutes a day on mobility or movement. Add food to the logger.
