Intensive Training and Weight Loss 

There are loads of successful people in the world who have succeeded by cutting their calories and taking up exercise to reach their desired weight. But when exercise is performed with a weight loss programme you don't even need to call it a weight loss programme.

You could just eat your same daily calories and burn the extra 500 per day through intensive training which is a high calorie burner and will shift the pounds in no time. Of if you want to still reduce your calorie count you can do so for a faster weight loss.

The great thing about intensive training is that it keeps the heart level high and when the heart rate is kept high more calories are burned. If cardiovascular exercise is performed for example over 30 minutes the muscle tissue may start to be eaten up  for energy and when there is less muscle in the body the metabolism reduces in the body. Intensive training is different.

Short bursts of intensive training to stress the body out actually cause significant improvements to stamina, endurance and doesn't bite into the real living tissue of the muscles. 

Here are some examples of intensive training: 2 minutes of running at 9 mph, 1 minute rest walking at 6 mph, 1 minute of running at 12 mph, 2 minutes rest walking at 6 mph, 1 minute running at a hill incline of 5% at 8mph and a 1 minute rest.

Try to start off with a 15 minute interval training which even though it may sound easy it isn't and needs to be performed to see how fast your body can become fatigued through intensive training.

Once you feel comfortable with a short bust of intensive training, increase it to 30 minutes. A maximum of 30 minutes intensive training 2-3 times per week will blast that fast off your body and keep the metabolism high plus your muscle mass will remain the same.

Reps can be performed on a rowing machine in pretty much the same way or you could work on the cross trainer but to really stress your body out the treadmill will become your best friend when performing intensive training.

As your fitness improves and the pounds are dropping off your body the exercise may become addictive but try to stick to the 2-3 days training because the body needs time to rest, refuel and grow stronger. Only when the body rests does it start to grow stronger and your fitness improves. 

It is important to eat a healthy diet full of carbohydrates, proteins and fibre to refuel the body so that it grows stronger. Other forms of intensive training are burpees which use your own bodyweight as resistance and help to build a stronger body by creating microscopic tears in the body which grow stronger with rest and a good diet.

Skipping is also a great intensive form of exercise which causes great fitness benefits to the body. Intensive training can help you lose weight, improve your fitness and help you reach your ideal weight.
