Train insane or remain the same!

It's my new favorite, and probably my clients' least favorite, phrase as I lead them through high intensity, interval, and TRX training at Royal Fitness.  It's true though, if you make crazy fitness goals for yourself, you need to be a little crazy with your fitness routine.  Hence the training styles I use.

TRX training is bodyweight based; putting your own body in suspension and using leverage to work against you.   This is commonly referred to as vector training, since the angle you create with your body dictates how much resistance you will work against.  It is also a great way to work out if you are injury prone, since most exercises are closed-chain (arms and legs are in contact with a base, limiting external variables such as gravity and momentum).

Interval training is a surefire way to give the cardiovascular system a run for its money.  Certain exercises are combined to create a constant surge and drop in heart rate, good for burning fat and not letting the body get used to what it is going through.

High intensity training can offer an athlete increased endurance and stamina, create gains on repetitions, and also break down the barrier that psychology often creates causing someone to give up.  Intense workouts create a competitive drive for the individual to use to their benefit and to bypass their own doubts of their abilities.

Anyone can do these types of fitness routines, just remember, it's a lot different than 3 sets of 15 reps...
