Shredded 4 Summer Workout

Here is the NUMBER 1 Fat Loss Workout of the Year

The Summer is closely upon us and as things start heating up, you better start thinking about turning up the heat of your workouts in the gym. Every workout program should be intense. I don't care what type of goal you have, if it is not intense, it is not doing you any good.Recent research suggested that combining both cardio and weights together has been shown to be one of the best ways to turn up the intensity of any one program. In some of the findings, strength actually went up as a results of combining cardio with weights.

What do you mean combining cardio with weights?

I am talking about a term I like to use called Iron cardio. It simply means that using traditional exercises you would normally do in a program is only ONE part of the actual workout. During specific times within and following a specific set of exercises I have you doing cardio during the actual weight training.

What type of cardo?

The type of cardio is really up to you, however I would strongly recommend picking one of the below exercises to maximize the IRON cardio Principle I recommend using with this program. Whenever the Program States SHOWTIME HIIT Pick one of the following exercises to do for up to 3 minutes with 30 seconds rest in between each minutes. So its as simple as following the outlined workout and then picking one or a combination of the listed movements below and execute whenever the program dictates SHOWTIME HIIT training. Use 10% of your max weight so the idea is to go very light. Its not about the weight with these movements since it is on timed intervals. Your options for exercises are listed below.
  • Kettle bell Swing
  • Step Ups
  • Hang clean

So unlike the traditional cardio exercises you will actually be doing weight training for your cardio. Alternative exercises CARDIO Only if you simply do not want to use the IRON CARDIO method
  • Bike
  • Treadmill
  • Jump Rope
  • Burpees

What you will find is a workout that not only kicks you butt, but the amount of load put on the muscles you are working at that time will be unlike anything you have ever felt.This workout in just 4 weeks is GUARANTEED to get you to drop as much as 3% body fat while gaining substantial muscle definition.

Nutrition


The Nutrition is just as important as anything with any Program. The below outlines a daily meal plan to eat every day for 4 weeks. You can make small substitutions or simply use the Nutritional Meal Planner on the site to create your own custom meal plan. However I understand not everyone wants to pay even a small amount for custom nutrition, so that is why I always try to accommodate everyone.These amounts can fluctuate based off of your Male/Female status but I would not suggest going below 1800 calories for women and 2200 for men.
