Well, I’m here to tell you, there’s a workout out there that not only keeps us old timers who love our cardio and our cardio machines happy, but will also give the “hard as nails” group something to chew on. How I Discovered This Weight-Loss Workout How many of you remember the program? Bill Phillips created the system over fifteen years ago.

Within the program, perhaps the most impactful tool provided is the cardio plan, effectively named the. It’s an interval program that forces the user (if you choose to follow it exactly as written) to work at very intense levels that strip your frame of body fat.

I’m not allowed to make medical claims for you, so I will tell you what this workout has done for me. With an assertive diet change and this cardio routine, I dropped close to thirty pounds and reduced my blood pressure from 170/110 to 128/78 in one month.

How do I know this? Because I had a bit of a cardiac incident in June followed by some stern conversations with my doctor, so I put myself to work.

Mysteriously, the Borg Scale starts at the number 6 and peaks out at 20 — 6 being next-to-no work and 20 meaning pedal to the metal, as hard as you can go. The 20-Minute Aerobic Solution uses a similar scale, but sticks to something a little more familiar to all of us, the classic 1-10. Remember, this is going to be a measurement on how hard you think you are physically working — 1 being what I’m doing now (sitting and typing) to 10 where I’d be sprinting as hard as I can down the street. Here’s my advice on how you can visualize these levels: • Level 1: Sitting • Level 2: Slow walk • Level 3: Walk • Level 4: Brisk walk • Level 5: Easy jog • Level 6: Jog • Level 7: Fast jog • Level 8: Run • Level 9: Hard run • Level 10: Sprint Like the program says in the name, we are only working for 20 minutes.

This program is about you being focused on how you are feeling, and then actually trying to increase your work output to match the prescribed levels. What you will quickly find is that this is not easy. Most of us rarely work at all-out levels, so when you do this the first time, it takes some gauging. Don’t worry, you will get the hang of it quickly and will be able to adjust on the fly. What You Eat Post-Workout Really Matters It is recommended to do this fasted, first thing in the morning.
