Deadlifts and Diamonds

Summer is in full swing and we are headed straight for bikini season. I am bound and determined to fit into my bikini so its time to break out the GYMBOSS  and gear up for some serious fat blasting, metabolism boosting workouts. I’m focusing on interval training this summer because it works!  A short tabata session is just as effective as an hour long workout It also ignites the after burn effect —allowing you to burn fat for up to 48 hours after your workout.  Most importantly, for the lifters out there, these short intense tabata workouts burn fat while retaining muscle.  Tabata Workout: 20 seconds work // 10 seconds rest // repeat 8 X // 4 minutes     Benefits -burn fat long after your workout       -retain muscle -increase VO2 Max -short and effective  GymBoss Timer— your new bff Now, at first, I thought, “Why do I need a timer when I can use my handy smartphone?”.  Well, I soon lear...

Tabata is a great way for you to structure your HIIT workouts and easily switch up your routine. Just select a few exercises you would like to try and do each one for 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest and repeat 16 times. If you choose 2 exercises then repeat 8 times and so on. Below are 3 Tabata rounds for a Full Body Workout. Be sure to warm up and stretch for 5 minutes, then get to it. Here we go! After this round, take a minute rest and setup for Round 2--after the jump.  Take a minute rest and finish off with a 3rd Round for a complete workout.  Congratulations! You made it!
