Explode your Fitness-Krav Maga Defense Workout: Star Fit

A good thing with circuit training is
that you can do these workouts in super short
time. You do not need to be pounding treadmills
for hours.

Street fights don't last as long as a marathon
so why put yourself through that sort of routine?
Ask most seasoned runners - they will probably
spend 20 minutes telling you how the body will
pick up injuries.

Short high intensity exercise is the key
to weight management and fat burning. Obviously a
sensible nutrition plan is also essential.

So what are the benefits of these types of
workouts?

You can go on burning calories up to 48 hours
later. Note -  steady paced cardio exercise will
not do this.

A university study showed nine times more body fat
can be BURNT this way than through traditional
exercise methods i.e. jogging.

It can rev up your body's metabolism to help burn
fat more efficiently.

You can do these routines anywhere - you don't
need special equipment.

However, you have to be totally prepared to
work very hard! There are many great routines you
can adapt to achieve fat burn and also sky rocket
your fitness levels.

A Japanese expert came up with a form of short,
explosive exercise called Tabata Intervals. The
Tabata Intervals can be varied but the basic one
works on 20 seconds of fast, explosive exercise
followed by 10 seconds of rest. You can repeat
these as often as you want.

Try a series over 4 minutes. It doesn't sound
like much but if you are honestly pushing to your
maximum the intervals will blow you away."
