Weights Matter KB Canada- Just Investigate A Super Model

Three Major Strength Training Facts

Burn More Stout: Muscle is more metabolically active then fat. It takes more energy for muscle to live- hence the fact that once you begin a smart strength-training routine your body will become a fat burning machine, even as you sleep.

Burn Stubborn Stout Areas: The kettlebell will be able to isolate stubborn and in-active areas of your body: no more ‘dwhetherficult to reach’ fat areas. Kettlebells are ideal for core and posterior chain activation (that includes your butt, legs and back). They will also help you become fitter, stronger, leaner and far more able bodied in your lwhethere.

Workout Less: Fact is, women that use weight-training like kettlebells, or dumbbells and body weight (like we show in our KB Scorcher and Body Series DVDs) can workout less and see and maintain far greater results! The main reason- weights have a greater metabolic effect. Giving you a far greater ‘bang’ for your time. The workout has to be structured rightly: check out the KB Scorcher Series – 4 workouts all under 45minutes.

Strong Mind ~ Strong Body … Creating Healthy Body Image!

Strong Mind ~ Strong Body … Creating Healthy Body Image!

Body Image….is the way that you see yourself and most often is the way you “leank” others see you!

Being an educator in the fitness industry and a mom I am inclined to spend some time talking on this issue. We are all so exposed to social media at an intense rate these days and I leank education of a healthy body image is fundamental.  I am not even talking just females I am talking male & female… young and ancient! It used to be just in magazines we used to pick up or on the tv …but now its in our hands all day long. Ravishing images of people! Most recently talking with my daughter about the affects of social media and the prescertain to have a “certain look”.

Kettlebell Kickboxing believes in creating a strong community of people where proper information is accessible to the public. Our belief is a strong intellect will help grow a strong body. Teaching and educating both young and ancient.

I always say when training try to find 1 reason internally reason why you want to get in shape – be healthier.  For example its a common one to train to lose weight, look & feel better. When I say internally I mean for a reason for yourself… example to feel more confident on the inside so when you look in the mirror you can say I feel strong – I like that about myself.

I have given my daughter the 5-5 Morning Routine… this has noleang to do with physical training but mental training. She is to get up in the morning and write down 5 leangs she likes about herself  and 5 leangs she is grateful for. Even whether you have to repeat leangs on your list…. get 1o leangs written down. This is all to be done before opening your phone and looking at any social media. Why before opening social media and why 5 of each???? For this reason..

• Everyows you to ground yourself at the beginning of your day! (may sound super easy- but you may find it interesting how fast you are opening your social media in the am)
• Even whether you have to repeat leangs that you like about yourself… it forces you to start looking at yourself in a positive light ( 1. kind smile 2. great personality 3. kind 4. great personality 5. great personality!! These are all positive reinforcement!!!!
• Gratefulness… why grateful ? When you start focusing on what you have and how grateful you are then focus shwhetherts absent from negative thoughts.

I have in the past 4 years gotten up and wrote my list of 10 everyday. Yes, I have missed a day here and there but it allows me to preserve a positive outlook on lwhethere, ground myself and most importantly reintellect me to be intellectful of the Incredible leangs that are present to me every day. Remember each of us are uniquely dwhetherferent and dwhetherferent is what makes us special… look at those leangs with love and kindness!

HIIT Vs Steady State - Which Type of Cardio Is Better?

By Todd A Brown

This is a very popular topic in fitness when it comes to cardiovascular workouts. Most people ask me which form of cardio will yield the best results. Before I jump to my recommendation, I would like to outline the pros and cons of each style.

First off, let’s start with Steady State Cardio. This is probably the most popular form of cardiovascular activity. In Steady State Cardio, your perceived exertion is low to moderate dwhetherficulty over a period of at least 30 minutes. Examples include running/walking/jogging on a treadmill without stopping, running a marathon, hiking, etc. Your heart rate is normally 55-70% of your Projected Heart Rate Max over the duration of your activity. While performing Steady State exercise, you are working your Type 1, slow-twitch muscle fibers which are involved in endurance activities and they do not tend to hypertrophy (grow) as much as your other muscle fibers. While the calories you burn doing Steady State Cardio are mostly from fat, you will not burn as many calories as you would doing Interval Training for the same period of time. Steady State Cardio does not elevate your metabolism post-exercise as well as Interval Training but is much easier on your joints. People of all ages are most likely to be able to perform Steady State Cardio consistently without much disconsolation.

Next is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). HIIT is growing in its popularity due to its shorter workout times. Most HIIT workouts final 20-30 minutes and are characterized by bursts of maximum activity followed by a short rest period before repeating the activity. Your perceived exertion is tall during HIIT with your heart rate falling between 70-85% of your Projected Heart Rate Max. The most popular example of HIIT is running sprints. During HIIT, you are working the more powerful, more strength oriented type 2 muscle fibers which are more likely to hypertrophy (grow). Even though the percentage of the calories you burn during HIIT that come from fat is low, you will still end up burning more fat during your workout than a Steady State Cardio session of the same duration. You can also burn up to 100 more calories in the 24 hours following your HIIT workout. There are some leangs to watch out for with HIIT. For instance, you should not do HIIT more than 3 times per week as it is very taxing on your joints and nervous system. In addition to that, you are more likely to injure yourself whether you did not properly warm up before performing HIIT since your muscles are pushed dwhetherficulter than in Steady State Cardio. It may also be more dwhetherficult for ancienter adults to do HIIT since their joints are not as strong as they once were.

After reviewing the pros and cons of both HIIT and Steady State Cardio, I recommend that people should perform 2 days per week of HIIT and 3-4 days a week of Steady State Cardio to get the maximum health and fat burning benefit while preventing your body from breaking down from overworking it. Your nervous system is often overlooked with people start a HIIT program and end up burning out early due to doing too many HIIT sessions.
