Summary:

  I travel a lot. I've been to a lot of gyms across the country. No matter where I go it's always the same. The fit-lean people are in the weight room or doing short sprints on the cardio equipment. The people who are struggling with their weight, they're slogging it away on the treadmill or the elliptical machine. I like to say, "Success leaves clues." Clearly this is the case with exercise. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/minimize-your-exercise-maximize/id911502027?i=338898740&mt=2 The biggest urban legend out there is that to lose weight, you need to do loads of cardio. In fact, the opposite is true. If you're doing a lot of cardio training, spending hours each week on the bike, treadmill or elliptical machine, you're making yourself worse not better, besides just wasting time. This is because all of that cardio exercise raises stress hormones. When you raise stress hormones, it makes you store more fat around your middle. Also, it's very stressful. You breathe a lot and you create more oxidative stress. This ages you like crazy plus it makes you hungrier. It lowers your immune system. It lowers testosterone which can affect not just your libido, but also your ability to put on muscle. It can also burn up the muscle you have. Worst of all, it does the opposite of the very reason you're doing this. It makes you better at storing fat! Why don't people work out? They don't work out because it takes too much time. It takes too much time because they’re doing too much cardio. I'm going to show you how to work out, get it all in, in just minutes a day, with much better results. First of all, I want to you know that, yes we should be moving more. You should really be moving 60 minutes a day. That means that every single thing counts. That means that the walk to the grocery store, walking your dog, taking in the groceries, all that kind of stuff counts so you want to use a tracking device.  However, that walking does not count as exercise. It especially doesn't count as burst training. For it to count as burst training, you have to get hot, sweaty, and it should hurt a little bit. If you want to boost your metabolism, slow down the aging process, release some feel good endorphins quickly, and blast the fat, you've got to burst train. Plus, burst training helps you handle sugar better and become more insulin sensitive. That means your body can hear the message of insulin better so you don't have to produce as much. These are huge pluses for the Sugar Impact Diet which is why it's part of my Core Four Training Program in the Sugar Solution Online Program. I'm going to walk you through exactly how you do burst training. First off, a burst should be 30 to 60 seconds long. It’s really important that you don't pace yourself. You should be going all out. I don't want you to say, "Okay, I’ve got to be able to make it through to 60." The sooner that you have to quit, the better. Which is what "all out" means. Right? You shouldn't be able to keep going after the 60 seconds. That's important. I've had people tell me, "You know what J.J.? I've been doing burst training; I'm getting so much stronger." One of the things that you find with burst training is that as you do it, you're like, "Wow! I'm stronger at everything in life so I've been going longer." No, no, no. Never go longer. Just keep going harder. You want to do full body movements when you burst. Those are things like stair climbing, step-up, cycling, swimming, calisthenics, running, jumping jacks and jumping rope. Oh my, have you jump roped lately? Because, I've got to tell you, jumping rope, even pretend jumping rope, it's kind of like air guitar, its air jump rope, is unbelievably hard! This is great because that means that you can do this anywhere. In fact when I travel, I will do all of this either in my hotel room or running the stairs. Quite often, the fitness room is mobbed or it's closed or I don't have time. You're doing 30 to 60 seconds all out bursting, full body movement. Then, after you do those 30 to 60 seconds, you're going to actively recover for twice as long. What do I mean by active recovery? Let's say that you were running up the stairs. Active recovery would be walking back down the stairs. What you want to do is, you want to keep moving but really low intensity during your active recovery. The lactic acid that you produce during the high points, you actually buffer back down and use as fuel during the low points. It helps you recover faster. One of the biggest indicators of how fit you are is how fast you go from all out to recovered. This is training your body how to recover faster. Also, you’re training your sympathetic nervous system to handle stress better. When it comes down to it, it's all about better stress tolerance. How do we handle stress better? Burst training is a great way to do this. You've got your 30 to 60 second bursts. All the different ways to do it. You're going to actively recover. It could be as simple as just stepping place. You're going to do this to accumulate 4 to 12 minutes of total bursting. Now, 12 is excessive. You need to be like an elite athlete to do that. If someone tells me, "I did 12 minutes of burst training", I know that they either didn't do it hard enough or they're an extreme athlete. I very rarely do that. I do 4 to 8 total minutes of total minutes of bursting. Remember, you're going to warm up at the beginning and cool down at the end. That means now that your workout is somewhere in the 15 to 30 minute range as opposed to this hour. I've got to tell you, you're going to notice this impact in every other thing that you do in your life. It's going to make everything else easier for you.

                         I'll tell you, seeing is believing.
