WOW – Thursdays workout 4/3/2010

This workout ticks lots of boxes and is basically an intergrated interval circuit. Consisting of burpees, press ups, squats, jump rope and rowing, it hits all the major muscle groups and also has elements of aerobic and anaerobic work. Because of the intensity of this session, fat burning is significant and, coupled with a healthy dose of EPOC, it’ll have you fit, ripped and toned in no time!

Just watch the video below and repeat, remembering to scale the workout to meet your current fitness abilities.

    Hi Val – EPOC stands for Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption and refers to the “afterburn” effect of exercise that produces large amounts of lactic acid. In simple terms, the more lactic acid a workout produces, the harder your aerobic system has to work after the training session is completed to clear out the lactic acid that was produced during the workout. This adds up to more energy expended in the hours after the workout which is great for those looking to manage their weight. In essense, EPOC means your metabolism is “revved up” after a hard workout. Hope that makes sense!

    Patrick.
