POLOKWANE – Body Life Gym introduces their weekly health and fitness column in Review, and this week, the focus is on metabolic training.
Body Life’s H.I.T. 15 (high intensity training) classes focus specifically on increasing the body’s metabolic rate or metabolism, which is how many calories the body burns at rest.
This forms part of Body Life’s unique weight loss approach.
“These high intensity, structural and compound exercises are completed with short rest periods in between in an effort to maximise calorie burn and to increase metabolic rate during and after the workout,” explains David van Ryneveld, the owner of Body Life.
He explains that the high intensity anaerobic exercise leaves you breathless and sweating and the extreme metabolic training is CrossFit, where a few intense exercises are repeated in a circuit with little to no rest to push the body to its absolute limit.
According to David, each workout need not take a lot of time and can be completed in 20 to 30 minutes, making it the perfect workout for those who do not have time to go to the gym.
The benefits of metabolic training includes improved cardiovascular capacity, improved hormonal profile and of course serious calorie burn.
Personal trainer, Joshua Jordaan, presents H.I.T. 15 classes from Mondays to Thursdays at 17:15 and at 05:15 on Mondays and Wednesdays at Body Life in Magazyn Street.
