This week, we are hosting a 4 Week BootCamp at our office (every Sat. At 7:45am) focusing on essentials #2 and Essental #5.
Burst or Surge Training, a type of Exercise, consists of short/high intensity bursts of exercise with minimal rest periods.

A typical routine would look like the following:
Routine :20-sec-spike 20-sec-recovery 20-sec spike 20-sec-recovery 20-sec-spike 2 min-recovery(3 sets)

For example: if you were going to perform jumping jacks as your exercise, you would do jumping jacks as fast and hard as you can (with good form) for 20 seconds, then you would take a 20 second rest, then 20 seconds of exercise, then 20 seconds of rest and finally one more 20 seconds of exercise then take a 2 minute rest. You would then repeat this 2 more times for a total of 3 sets.
The great thing about this type of exercise is that it can be completed in 12 minutes a day, you can perform any type of exercise (ie curls, squats, running in place, jump rope, spinting, etc.), and it can be done right from your home!!! What else could you ask for!!!

The biggest excuse that i run into with people about exercise is " I dont have enough time for exercise!!!" When the truth is you simply don't make enough time for exercise; exercise is not a priority in your life. If it were, you would schedule it in, just like you schedule your work, every week for the rest of your life.

What does it take to help people to realize that we were only blessed with one body, and we must consistantly (on a daily basis) do everything possible to keep it healthy???

Start exercising todya and reap the benefits for years to some!!!
