Interval Training Workout – Using the Tight Rotation Exercise for Fat Loss Freestyle Friday – Issue #1

Interval Training Workout – Upper Body Conditioning

By nick On November 4, 2009 · 4 Comments · In Band / Cable Training, Bodybuilding / Muscle Building, Complexes and Circuit Training, Fat Loss, Figure Athlete Training, Fun / Interesting Stuff, MMA / Spartan Workout, New Exercises
In my last post, I provided you with Mark Young’s brilliant concept of using Tight Rotations as part of a cardio / conditioning / fat loss workout. . As promised, in this post, I have provided a video that will show you one of the ways I utilize Tight Rotations in our Metabolic Conditioning here at Performance U. . In this video, you will see Alli McKee doing some serious upper body dominant conditioning after her Strength Workout. Trust me when I say, Alli can out-last any and all comers when it comes to conditioning. When we are training, regardless of how difficult the workout, Alli won’t stop until I tell her to stop! That my friends is the type of drive, mental toughness and dedication it takes to be a champion! . And, its why Alli is going to kick ass on stage at her figure competition next week! . Watch Alli “get after it” in the only she knows how, as she performs 1 round of her interval conditioning. . . . . Now , go here to read Alli’s Blog post in which she reveals the exact training specifics of the Conditioning workout you have just watched. Yes, here, Alli tells you the specific reps, sets, tempos, rests used in during her strength session that day. Plus,  she provides the work/rest interval times she performed on the conditioning workout in the video here. . Where else can you get real world training information like this? – No where but here at NickTumminello.com and at Alli’s Fit to Figure Blog.

    Nick, I like this interval however many of us do not have access to an Airdyne Bike, what would be a good substitue? Using Bands?

    Good question Ryan!

    Nick – What was the rest time between Alli’s strength workout and her conditioning workout? Was it enough time for her to fully recover from the strength workout or was it just a partial recovery?

    Yes, Bands will work fine!

    She got plenty of rest in the transition from STrength work to conditioning work. It was around 5-6 min.
