Rock Your Workouts Like a Hurricane Posted on Jul 16, 2008 - 9:04AM Rock Your Workout Like a Hurricane Martin Rooney PT, MHS, CSCS, NASM So you want to look like a UFC warrior and don't want to get punched in the face? Here's the great news. There is a method of training that will not only get you ripped with bigger muscles, but is also easy to perform, an exciting change from your regular routine and can take less time to produce more results! Enter the Hurricane A hurricane is a powerful, yet brief storm that leaves destruction in its wake that then calls for renewal and rebuilding. Hurricane Training relies on the same destruction and renewal of a person's body and has been used to produce both the physical results and world titles my warriors have achieved. I now believe this is a perfect form of training for every person regardless of his or her battle aspirations. In nature, the more powerful a hurricane, the more damage is left in its path. As a result of storm intensity, there is more time, energy and resources that have to be spent to rebuild the region bigger and better than before. When you apply this same principle of intensity and destruction in the gym, you can take advantage of numerous metabolic and hormonal responses that will produce unprecedented results. Science has determined as workout intensity increases, metabolically more energy will be required to get your body back to a physiological resting state. So the greater the intensity of the Hurricane, there can be more calories expended over a longer period of time. That increase in metabolism and added muscle building from weights make the hurricane a great tool in weight management, body fat reduction, and strength! So why do these calories need to get burned? Just like the buildings, roads, etc. that need to be rebuilt and restored after a hurricane in nature, the following are a number of physiological variables to restore after the hurricane: Restore Energy Sources Decrease HR Decrease Ventilation Decrease Body Temp Increase Cellular Repair Decrease Blood Lactate Increase Oxygenation of Blood How Does the Hurricane Training System Work? Hurricanes are categorized using a scale from 1-5. Category 1 is the easiest and Category 5 will be the most demanding and potentially productive. Every Hurricane utilizes nine sets of cardiovascular training (treadmill sprints). For Hurricanes 2-5, two different body weight and/or weighted exercises are performed after the first 3 sprints (Hurricane Round 1). Then two new exercises are selected to coincide with the next 3 sprints (Round 2) and again for the last 3 sets (Round 3). So a Hurricane Workout equals 9 total sprints and 18 sets of weight training to be completed in 20-30 minutes. Talk about intense! Whether you are a fighter or just want to look and train like one, Hurricane Training is for you! Using this workout, your old routine will have no choice but to tap out. |
