Warp Speed Fat Loss - Making the Most of the Program
By Greg McKenzie
Warp speed fat loss is a brand new product that has been making some incredible claims, namely how to lose 21 pounds of fat in 28 days. Now most people I know would jump at the chance for this, in fact for a few people this would be life changing.
After reviewing the product there is no doubt that the science behind the workouts and diet can achieve these kinds of fat losses, however I think most people may end up disappointed after 28 days. The reason for this is that the devil is in the detail, and this fat loss routine will not work unless the small things are taken care of. This article offers three tips to get the most out of Warp Speed Fat Loss interval workouts and ensure you lose those 20 pounds of fat rather than a measly four or five.
Have you ever heard of spinning? Not a spinning class in the gym but rather spinning on a road bike. It was a theory that came out a few years ago that lowering your resistance and increasing the speed you pedal at would allow you to go further faster, it did this because you used up less energy. In warp speed fat loss you want to do exactly the opposite. Instead of jumping on a bike and pedaling as fast as you can, turn up the resistance first to a 7 or 8 out of 10 for your sprint. You will use up a lot more intramuscular energy by doing this and this is key to your fat burning.
Point two is common sense but a lot of people miss it. What will use up more energy? Pumping your bicep as hard as it can go or using your whole body? When doing the intervals try pick exercises that will use as much of your bodies large muscle groups as possible. The ultimate for this is sprinting. If you aren’t injury prone and want great results this is the best option. If you don’t want to sprint the next best is a stationary bike.
The third point is intensity, in your anaerobic sprints you need to take you muscles to a point where they are functioning without oxygen. This means going pretty much as hard as you can. Your muscles let you know that you have arrived at this point by burning and aching. You need to be in this state for as long as you can endure during your sprint interval. It’s at this point that your body is using up energy stores inside the muscle itself. These energy stores take hours to replace and this is what causes your fat burning. Now the more muscle energy you use, the more energy it will take to put it back and the longer your fat loss will go on for.
