The Plan: The threshold workout or medium intensity
workout is the #1 workout that most cardio athletes and
enthusiasts miss in their programs. The goal of the
threshold workouts is to work at the max at which your
aerobic metabolism produces energy. Because you have
another energy source called your anaerobic metabolism, you
have the ability to train harder or faster than a proper
threshold workout. Most people thinking that they need to
be killing themselves to be getting a good workout never
slow down enough to train their body effectively.
Your aerobic metabolism is the way your body burns fat and
carbs as energy with the use of oxygen. The only way to
optimally perform in cardio or endurance races, as well as,
achieve your weight loss goals is to train your aerobic
metabolism to be as fast as it can. The perfect workout
for weight loss, 5k training, and running a marathon.
How do we find the proper intensity to train at? The only
way to know for sure that you are training at the right
intensity is through having your own personal heart rate
profile. With Live Lean Today's online fitness plans, you
receive your own heart rate zones to optimize each workout.
Most people not watching their heart rate are way off to
what they think their heart rate is to what it actually is.
Threshold workouts range from 15-30 min. in total session
time. With Live Lean Today, your online personal trainer
will work with you to create the right program and
progression for your threshold workouts. If you can go
longer than 30 min than we need to go faster. What is
important is highest rate of energy and heart rate that you
can sustain for the entire threshold workout.
The Results: Threshold hold workouts train your body to
burn more fat and carbohydrates as energy. This is another
way of saying you have a faster metabolism. As it relates
to performance, with threshold training you create a faster
pace. Especially, if you have found that you can't seem to
increase your running pace, threshold workouts are needed
in your program.
After effective threshold workouts, the biggest difference
you will instantly feel is how much faster you perform at
lower heart rates. Your heart rate profile will change as
you progress and improve. This is why it is so important
for a cardio expert to be monitoring your progress and
making adjustments. You now have the ability to run faster
for the same distances and times that were once a struggle.
Your weight loss results occur while you are resting. If
you have ever said you wanted a faster metabolism than
threshold workout are for you. Your body will burn more
calories of fat 24 hours a day 7 days a week after your
body improves from threshold workouts.
The Difference: Live Lean Today is the only online
personal trainer program to have precise heart rate
training programs to optimize your results. Training in
the right heart rate zone makes each workout as effective
as it can be. The fastest way to your results is through
