Don't have a lot of time to hit the gym? What if I told you in 30 minutes you can burns 450 calories in — including warm up and cool down. That would take upwards of 55 minutes on a treadmill — and would be boring as hell.
This workout is metabolically demanding, you’ll actually burn calories for up to 36 hours after you’re DONE your workout. So even when you fall asleep on the couch after your Turkey dinner, you’re STILL burning more calories than you normally would.
That’s because your body is working it’s way back to “normal” following the demanding session. During those 30 intense minutes, you aren’t JUST burning calories. You’re using up muscle fuel, ripping muscle tissue, and pressing your hormones into action.
All that metabolic activity is what forces your body to rebuild afterward — burning more calories in the process. Oh, and it also makes you a bit like a Million Bucks! You come back for your next workout a little faster and a little stronger than you were before! Cool, huh?
