Winter 2012 4 Week Rapid Fat Loss Program

My 4 Week Rapid Fat Loss Program has become the creme dela creme weight loss program in Seattle. Not only is it the most comprehensive weight loss program in Seattle, providing exercise, nutrition and emotional & educational support, it brings my clients the results they are looking for in a very short amount of time. There is no other program like this in Seattle.

Let me show you the numbers:

30 people . . . . 210 pounds GONE . . . . 74 inches of belly fat GONE. . . . INCREDIBLE!

That’s an average of 8 pounds and 2.75 inches of belly fat per person. Awesome, huh?!

Time to brag…

I LOVE to brag about my clients. You fine folks inspire me EVERY day. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone running after Sync Fitness Boot Camp or a 1:1 client and spent my entire run thinking about how amazing you are.

So today I want to brag about Erika. Head over to Fit Healthy Moms to read her story. I am so proud of her. I hope she inspires you to step out of your comfort zone. I know she did me.

2010 Joy!

Wow. What a year for Sync Fitness. I am in awe.

This year has been successful in ways I could not anticipate last January. It has been the single best year for Sync Fitness for many reasons. I wish I could individually highlight each client I had the pleasure of working with this year. I want each of you to know how much I truly LOVE and APPRECIATE every bit of energy and sweat you share with me. Sync Fitness is nothing without YOU.

Why Boot Camp blows your workout out of the water!

I’ve been running Boot Camps in Seattle for 5 years now. My current Indoor Boot Camp in Wallingford/Fremont is booming. I guess you could say Sync Fitness is a trend setter. A colleague sent me a great article from USA Today last week. It was about fitness trends for 2011. At the top of the list: BOOT CAMP! Why did Boot Camp come in at the top? Because it is simply the best way to burn calories in the shortest amount of time. This is partly because group exercise makes you work harder to keep up with your classmates. It’s partly because Boot Camp exercises and drills tend to be full body exercises that burn a ton of calories and use many muscle groups at once (hello, so much bang for your buck!) It’s also because Boot Camp uses high intensity intervals to light a fire under your metabolism and help you burn calories around the clock. In the USA Today article they compared calories burned in 45 minutes of vigorous weight lifting vs. 45 minutes of walking (at 3.5 mph) vs. 45 minutes of Boot Camp. Here’s the results:

Gasworks Boot Camp in Full Swing!

Here is some footage of last week’s classes. We are having a blast at Gasworks. By having a blast, I mean people are sweating like crazy and working their fannies off, literally! It’s been really inspiring to see all these folks working so hard. They are seeing the results of their hard work pay off, too. I’m getting all sorts of reports of people tightening up their belts and feeling like their clothes are too big. On top of that people are setting new physical records every week. One woman emailed me to report she did 52 push ups on her toes in one class. A few months ago, she was still hammering them out on her knees. Awesome progress. If you check out the video above you’ll even see someone pumping out some one-armed push ups! GOOD TIMES! I hope this video gets you FIRED UP and you decide you must come get in on the fun yourself!

PART I:

PART II:

This is posted in two parts because YouTube won’t allow posts more than 10 minutes. Part I and Part II are intended to be done back to back without rest.

I am posting this workout for two reasons:

1. My clients want a good workout they can perform at home with no equipment while I’m on vacation next week.

2.  I want a travel workout I can do without equipment while I am vacationing.

So, here you go!  This workout is similar to what many of my clients experience at Sync Fitness Boot Camp in Wallingford.  It’s some serious cardio and some great strength training as well.  This workout runs through 13 exercises without rest.  I recommend you PERFORM THREE ROUNDS of this workout, TIMING EACH ROUND.  Try to beat yourself with each round – you can do it!!  Try to limit your rest and REST ONLY BETWEEN ROUNDS, not between exercises.  Are you ready?!  Here’s the workout:

WARMUP:  Warm up of your choice.  Should last 3-5 minutes and be light to medium in intensity.  Some ideas are a light jog in your neighborhood, run stairs in your house, jump rope, jumping jacks.

WORKOUT:  Here’s the good stuff!

1. Forward / Reverse Lunges x 10 per side

2. Burpees (with or without Push Ups) x 15

3. Slow Bicycles x 20

4. 180 Jump Squats x 10

5. Inchworms with Push Ups x 10

6. Cobra x (5x:05)

7. Alternating Jump Lunges x 20

8. Staggered Push Ups x 10 per side

9. Leapfrog Squats x 10

10. Jump Squats x 10 (DO NOT REST BETWEEN LEAPFROG SQUATS AND JUMP SQUATS!)

11. Hand to Elbow Plank x 10

12. Jacknives x 15 per side

13. Airplanes x (5x:05)

COOL DOWN: You can do a cardio cool down, same as your warm up and then some stretching.  Don’t forget the stretching – it’s important!

The posted video goes through one round completely.  Use the video as much or as little as you need to.  Once you’ve got the moves down, feel free to mute my chatter and pump up your favorite tunes.  Happy sweating!
