Combining Interval training with strength training is a form of training that has been coined turbulence training. Getting all the necessities in one workout so that you get your workout done quickly with a ton of intensity. Often you can have a fantastic workout completed within 45 minutes.
Start your workout with a 5 minute bodyweight warm up. The warm up is not an option it is as much a part of the workout as any other part. After the warm up is complete, move on to the muscle building part of the workout. This will last for approx 20 minute. You can train with barbells or dumbbells or even more bodyweight training. Just one real rule here; no using cheesy equipment. We are looking for intensity, don't waste your time by slacking on the strength training.
Once done the strength training portion we head straight into the interval fitness portion of the workout. By combining your workout like this you make the most of your time. Getting the most out of your workout and getting in and out of the gym in the least amount of time. No need to spend hours doing cardio, or working out every day of the week.
The old rule really rings true here. 80 percent of your results will come from 20 percent of your effort. So if this is true, why not really work on that 20 percent. Focus on what works. There is no need to live on a treadmill doing boring cardio, build muscle and burn calories all in one great workout.
The one program that truly understands this concept is called turbulence training. It takes this concept and centers all your workouts on it.
There are very few other programs out there that really focus on combining strength and interval fitness training in once great workout. It is a revolutionary concept that will result in getting a strong lean body and amazing results.
