How much do you weigh? Just think: Those 150 pounds that you carry can be the best dumbbells and barbells that you have.
This week, let’s focus on power moves. Power is an expression of speed and strength, which means how fast you can move your body. This workout hits all the major muscles at high intensity, allowing you to cut your total workout time significantly.
Sounds good, right?
Structured as high-intensity interval training, this body-weight workout creates a greater impact in the metabolism than a steady low to moderate type of workout. Benefits: you burn fat faster because the metabolism stays active, even after the end of your workout, and there is a positive impact on the hormones that control the appetite.
