Weights Won’t Create You Buky- They’ll Create You Lean & Strong!

So- Do we look bulky? Over trained? Disproportionate? Unnatural?

There are too many women that fear strength training, specwhetherically with tools like weights, kettlebells and body weight. The truth is that adding a balanced resistance training routine to your workouts can be the defining factor in your health, weight-loss and body composition.

Sandra did it with weights…
well, kettlebells 😉

When Sandra could not get the final 15 pounds off she did a lot of research. It crazye no sense… she was putting time into her running and cardio machines.

When she came to KB we placed kettlebells and body weight training like our animal calisthenics into her program. Then, to keep her from needing to add boring cardio, we added martial arts motion between the strength sets: Classic Kettlebell Kickboxing!

Sandra began to see and feel results nearly instantly.

Today Sandra lives in Kentucky and swears by her KB Scorcher Series Program, the original program that helped her gain the body awareness and body composition she always wanted.

Why You WON’T Acquire Bulky!

The term cardio is interchangeable with the term ‘aerobic’ exercise, while this form of exercise; jogging, fast walking, hiking, elliptical, spin or aerobics lesson burns calories while you workout, it has small effect of fat burning after the exercise is done. Strength training, or anaerobic exercise is traditionally the contrast, and has an incredible metabolic effect on the body after the session is total and for a potential 24-48 afterwards.

The ideal is to combine these two forms together. In a HIIT workout you are not lwhetherting heavy or specwhetheric enough to bulk up, or build large muscles. Remember muscle needs more energy to live! So we can look at building lean muscle as a way to get rid of fat (and keep it off). Another benefit of strength training is that muscle shapes and strengthens our bodies and creates the great looking firm figure we all long for. Again, unless you are lwhetherting at a specwhetheric weight and maxing out between 8-10 reps, you are not getting bulky- it is impossible!

Kettlebell Kickboxing workouts combine your Cardio and Strength training by using martial arts, kettlebells, body weight and animal calisthenics and HIIT training. Its an ‘all you need’.

Why Time-Based Runs are as Necessary as Distance-Based Runs

By Run Program Director, Kevin Collins

Endelight many of you, and for more than half of my running lwhethere, I too, ran for miles over time-based runs. This was during a time before the Garmin when there were only two ways in which to degree your courses: 1) You degreed by a car (whether you could). 2) You asked somebody who thought they kcontemporary (they never kcontemporary). It was even more frustrating for speed work. You’d degree out a quarter mile on your favorite running road and goodness help you whether interpretation or travel prevented you from being there or a track. So, of course, you can imagine how liberating the discovery of time-based running was to an extensive traveler like me in a post-collegiate racing world. It’s dwhetherficult to let go of. We get jittery when we leank we aren’t covering EXACT mileage each day. Time-based 60 minute, for example,ample can be a half-mile to a mile long or short of your daily goal. I’m here to tell you that the fitness gains between a half-mile more or less a day in and out are insignwhethericant as they generally balance each other out. You might even say “Well how will I know how FAST and how FAR I’ve run?”

Stop right there.

Is this a base run, a long run, or a speed/tempo workout?

If it’s a base run, you don’t need to analyze the pace per mile or the distance because “performance” is not at all what these are about. Remember that progress is not pushing dwhetherficulter and dwhetherficulter every run each day. Progress is someleang you can see and feel in a intellectless state.

If it’s a long run, the thingive is to run for a LONG time. The 20 miler is no more a mystic make or break distance for your marathon than a 19.6 miler or a 21.2 miler, so when you are doing that 3 hour and 30 minute run, just make certain it’s close. If you see on your Garmin that it’s shorter than intended, add 10-15 minutes – problem solved.

Speed-workout: Is there a dwhetherference in benefit between 12 x 300m on a track and 12 x 1 minute on the same track (or road for that matter)? If the instruction was to run them the best you can taking into account # of intervals and total time intended: No, not much. Perceived effort is the art of pacing. Sometimes the watch can intimidate you. Run free. Run wild. You will find the line be can and can’t all the same.

Too many times I’ve seen runners set time goals in their workouts, perhaps too ambitious, only to see themselves fall short, allow frustration to settle in, and mentally deteriorate in workouts, perhaps storm off the track in self-manwhetherested disgust. Is this how to train?

In the world of time-based training, there ARE no poor days. There is only training and the road ahead. Study to embrace the struggles of training day to day. Noleang will make you tougher and less the quitter (the REAL source of our disappointments).

TIME-BASED RUNS:

Teach us how to embrace the “BAD” days and see them as neither poor nor good.
Are easier to schedule around lwhethere activities (a 60 minute run is STILL a 60 minute run and always will be for the next 20 years!)
Cater to the obsessive-compulsive just the same: A 60 minute run that ends at 59:46 will bug you just as much as a 10 miler that ended at 9.95 miles.

Endelight Garmins, allow you to run ANYWHERE (Imagine how liberating time-based runs were BEFORE Garmins on this point).
Create for stronger runners. Your improved capacity to plan runs around scheduling clashts will result in MORE total days run per year, which, when or whether degreed, will result in MORE miles run per year. This directly correlates with your base conditioning specwhetheric to running and consequent endurance (your ability to sustain tall intensity longer than you could before!)

So instead of 2 milers, 4 milers, 6 milers, 8 milers, & 10 milers. Attempt 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute, 60 minute, 75 minute, & 90 minute runs! You will free yourself from needing anyleang more than a basic wrist-watch.
In the end, it will be consistency that brings the goods, NOT the gadgets!
