BJ Gaddour CSCS, YFS is a local Milwaukee personal trainer and bridal fitness expert. Today he shares the top five workout tips for the bride to be.
According to Gaddour, the following exercise guidelines have produced both body and life-changing results for our many clients around the world. Typical results are losses of two to three pounds of ugly, unwanted body fat per week and a reduction in at least one clothing size per month.
Exercise Tip#1- Get Strong to Get Lean: Strength training strengthens muscle and bone leading to increases in lean body mass that increases RMR (resting metabolic rate), the number of calories your body requires to function on a daily basis regardless of activity. In other words, strength training will ramp up your metabolism so that you will be burning more stubborn fat 24-7-365. For best results, perform three total body strength workouts per week with at least one day of rest between workouts.
Exercise Tip#2- Intervals Burn Nine Times More Fat Than Ordinary Cardio: Intervals consist of alternating between shorts bouts of all out high-intensity effort and active recovery periods for a much quicker and focused amount of time. This approach is scientifically proven to burn nine times more fat AND lead to faster improvements in fitness than the aerobic alternative. For best results, perform three cardio interval training workouts per week on non-strength training days.
Exercise Tip#3- Use Stubborn Fat Cardio to Accelerate Results: Five minutes following high-intensity exercise like strength training and cardio interval training, your body dumps stored triglycerides (fat) into your bloodstream, making it the perfect time to do some low to moderate intensity aerobic training to eat up that fat before it gets re-stored.
Exercise Tip#4- Use Total Body Exercises to Build Stunning Arms: Whole body movements that work your upper body, lower body, and core at the same time will allow you to get lean all over in addition to ensuring that you are working your upper body during every moment so that you are ARM-ed and ready for the big day. For example, instead of doing presses, do squat to presses.
Exercise Tip#5- Recovery is Key: Do yourself a favor and invest in a foam roller. It’s cheap and easy to use. Simply spend at least five minutes post-working performing five to 10 rolls on the most tender and sore areas of your body, with a specific emphasis on your hips and thighs and your upper/mid back area. This will prevent nagging aches and pains in your muscle and joints and speed recovery from your workouts.
