The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max

If you don’t have a access to a gym while your on vacation. What can you do?

This often happens to us when we go on vacation and there are no gyms around or the gyms that are around don’t offer a week membership.

Do you have access to a pool? If you do then you must take advantage of it. Get up early in the morning and swim some laps. Now for those of us who are not good at swimming I have a trick for you. Go out and buy a mask and snorkel. Use these to aid your swim and you will still get the benefits of the workout.

There are a number of other things you can do in a pool that are low impact on your body and still give you a great workout. You can also buy some weights (check target or walmart) that are specifically used in the pool.

You probably will have a place to run also. There are a number of body weight exercises you can do like push-ups, sit-ups and several other exercises. If you have someone with you that is willing to help out then you can do some resistance training with them using just a towel.

H.I.T. (high intesity interval training) is it a hit?

Some out there will swear by H.I.T. and others say its just OK. There are several variations of this training. You can walk, run, bike, stepper, and elliptical train with H.I.T. The basics behind it are to do short bursts of an exercise at a very high intensity like running at top speed for 20-30 seconds and then slowing to a jog for a minute or so and then repeating with each fast/slow being counted as a rep. Usually 10-12 Reps will be enough for the day. This is good as it saves time and its said that it burns more calories and fat.

Personally I have used this method on everything except biking. It gets your pulse up fast and allows you to do a more intense work out in a shorter period of time. I like to use the elliptical with this method. Now of course you have to lengthen the amount of time on your short bursts and shorten your slow go times as you get better and better at the particular exercise. This method on the stepper is brutal, but man does it work. By the Way I hate the stepper.

Using this method on the treadmill is good, but it can be slightly difficult just due to the changing of speeds. Tell me what you think.

5-6 day weight and cardio routine

With this 5-6 day routine you will be doing 1 body area each day for 5-6 days.  You also want to start out with some cardio for at least 15 minutes.

Monday – cardio and chest

Tuesday – Cardio and triceps (you could work abs in at this time also)

Wed. – cardio and biceps (you can exchange this with back if you want to give yours arms a rest)

Thursday – cardio and back

Friday – cardio and shoulders

Saturday – cardio and abs (you can either do abs 2 times a week or take Saturday off)

Sunday – cardio or take off

Like I said at the beginning of this post you should start off the routine with cardio because you are more likely to decide not to do it after your work out.

My 3-5 day weight and cardio routine

I try and go to the gym at least 5 days out of the week, but sometimes I only get 3-4 days.  Something is better than nothing so get out there and go.  It also helps if you have a work out buddy.  If you only get 3 of these days try and make it the lifting days.  Building muscle will help you burn fat all day long.  Also if you have to you can do the weights on back to back days.

3 day weight routine -

Monday – Chest and Triceps

Tuesday – Run or some form of cardio

Wed. – Back and Biceps

Thursday – Cardio

Friday – Shoulders and Abs (you could do legs also, but I choose not to due to the amount of cardio I want to do)

Saturday – Cardio and Abs if you did not do that on Friday

Sunday – Day off or cardio (depends on how hard you want to push it)
