The Ultimate Shred is a 12 week intense training plan that will help you shred fat and change the shape of your body. We guarantee, that if followed correctly, you will get amazing results!
The Ultimate Shred is a combination of HIIT, body weight resistance training, intense cardio and yoga, and uses the latest research showing that you can achieve more progress in a mere 15 minutes of interval training (done 3 times a week) than the girl jogging on a treadmill for an hour!
With workouts ranging from just 20 minutes, you can squeeze each one in before you go to work, into a lunch break or after work without it taking too much time out of your day.
The reason it works:
Not only do you burn more calories during a HIIT class, but the effect of all of that intense exertion kicks the body's repair cycle into hyperdrive. That means you burn more calories and fat in the 24 hours after a HIIT workout than you do after long stints of cardio exercise. Most people aren't used to pushing into the anaerobic zone (training without the use of oxygen) but in this case, extreme training, produces extreme results.
For those of you who have been on a diet, you may have realised that it is hard not to lose muscle mass along with fat. While steady cardio seems to encourage muscle loss, research shows that both weight and HIIT training allows dieters to preserve their hard earned muscles whilst ensuring that most of their weight loss comes from fat stores.
As well as increased fat burning and more muscle preserved, HIIT stimulates production of human growth hormone (HGH) during the 24 hours after you finish your workout. This is great for us as HGH is not only responsible for increased calorie burn but also slows down the aging process, making us more youthful inside and out!
All you need is an exercise mat, water and a towel. In month 3 you will need a chair....it can be a dining room chair or you can use your sofa!
This is a progressive plan so as long as you are reasonably fit, give it a go. If you do have any injuries (knee or back especially) consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
The fitness test on day 1 is designed to be tough so don't let that put you off. It is the same fitness test that you will be doing after you have completed month 3. If you stick with the whole course, you will feel like a different person doing the fitness test in 3 months time. We promise!
