I’ve got a quick, but intense homework assignment for participants in my evening Los Gatos boot camp and my early morning Almaden boot camp. Make sure you warm up (take a 5 minute walk) before starting this workout!

Take my workout, please
I had a tough cardio workout planned as your homework this week. But, I did my own workout at the gym this morning and it was a pretty good one, so I decided to share it with you. If you don’t belong to a gym, I’ll have a non-gym workout for you at the end of this post.
Want weight loss? Stop the excuses
We all have them: “I have no time”, “I work too much”, “I can’t get up early”, “I don’t know what to do”, “my diet sucks” ….blah blah blah. Well, a fitness colleague of mine is doing something really crazy with regard to banishing a lot of these excuses from our minds and our mouths.
Build strong legs–and burn some SERIOUS calories
I hope everyone is set for a great weekend! We should have wonderful weather, so please make a point to get outside and enjoy a great “extra” workout before our next boot camp workout. This weekend’s homework workout will not only give you an excellent cardio workout, it is going to improve the strength of your legs.
Want to lose weight? Do interval training!
Yes, my Los Gatos boot campers know the benefits of interval training: More calories burned per session, an elevated metabolic rate for several hours after the workout, improved “fat burning” potential, and shorter workouts (yeah!). With this in mind, I give you your weekend homework.
Want weight loss? Sprint!
Rev your metabolism into overdrive with sprints and watch fat melt off your body! It’s a much more effective way to lose weight than dieting or long, slow cardio workouts. Plus, your workout is over more quickly!
