motivational video to help you remain focused.

It's that time of year that can test your mental discipline to keep consistent with your training. Its cold, dark and not too inspiring having to rise at 5 am and get that fasted cardio session nailed.

It's therefore important to keep the mind "strong" by keeping positive. I have motivational tracks and videos feeding my mind with positive energy on constant "play and repeat" when I begin to feel a little demotivated or feel the effects of my external environment.

So give this hour long motivational video a play and amp up that motivation!! 

Remember when they stop, that's your marker to step up, work and overtake....

Part 1 "We were born for VO2 Max Training"

Part 1 of 2 Blogs to refute the #BS surrounding cardio/VO2 Max training, whilst highlighting why it's ESSENTIAL you include cardio based training into your fitness regime. 

There are no if's but's or maybe's. You CAN'T increase your VO2 Max with weight training, and you CAN'T remove stubborn fat from the body from resistance training alone.

Understand our cells survive through their most basic need, oxygen. We have adapted many thousands of times over in order to best meet our most basic survival need. We crave cellular efficiency. That is achieved through maximising oxygen transportation capacity. This allows for more oxygen to be drawn from the air we breath thus available in our skeletal muscle. We will adapt at speed to ensure we can meet this demand so that we push back the need for suffering. VO2 Max training increases cellular oxygen efficiency. We need oxygen to survive. Period.

8 min HIIT-MAX Workout

This is an advanced 8 min HIIT workout for both men and women devised by Master HIIT trainer Scott Alexander that will force the body to trigger fight or flight  Catecholamine hormones from the adrenal gland in its response to this intense “survival” type of HIIT training.

This workout is best performed using a Wattbike which will place greater demand upon the metabolism than any other “ indoor cardio machine” ( You can use a concept 2 rower / Ski Erg or treadmill)

The HIIT protocol for this workout has been altered by Scott Alexander providing the added stimuli of a push “hypertrophy leg based“ exercise interval after the nominated“cardio” sprint type “ push intervals.
