Zuzka Light on Fox News Magazine - Benefits of High-Intensity Workouts...

Blog | July 17, 2013

Hey guys!

Im so proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to an article for Fox News Magazine!  It’s all about short, high-intensity workouts.  All of my online workouts are focused around this style because they’re super effective!  

 

Check out the article by clicking:  GET THE MOST OUT OF A MINIMALIST WORKOUT

 

In order to see results though, these type of workouts must be done at near max effort for the entire time!  If you use maximum, continuous effort for just 15 minutes a day, you will see increased metabolism and calorie burn for hours to come.  These kind of workouts give you a huge boost of energy and because they’re short, it’s easy to find time every day to get in a good workout!

 

Basic helpful tips for short, high-intensity workouts:

 

  • Set a time, maybe 15 minutes, and promise yourself you will push hard and not stop working until time is up!
  • Incorporate total-body cardio exercises, like a burpee, to get the most out of each workout
  • Remember that your mind will probably give up before your body will, so quiet that voice inside telling you that you need a break, and just keep moving, it’s only 15 minutes!
  • Do a quick warm-up before you start, cool down when you’re done, and keep good form throughout to minimize the risk of injury and soreness.

    I always love your short high intensity workouts, especially the tabata protocol (interval) style. 🙂

    I guess, you’re getting known here in LA. I’m so happy for your success. 🙂
