The festive season is on,
and most of us have a fitness goal that we want to attain to look our
best. But do you feel that you have reached a plateau?
If so, it's time to shake things up. The latest in fitness, the `Phantom Workout' is a high intensity exercise regime that is ideal for people who want to get in shape. Split over three levels, the programme is broken down into three sessions of about 45 minutes each. None of the workouts are repeated, which helps maintain one's interest and makes it more effective.
“The workout is divided into three levels, with the focus on a high-intensity workout. This includes weights and functional movements such as the deadlift, push-presses and bear crawl. It is a combination of all these movements at a higher intensity , with very little time for rest.This helps build muscle endurance and boosts strength levels. Each workout session targets the entire body,“ says Kristian.
THE EFFECTS HR
professional Manisha Naik has been working out for two years, but wanted to increase her stamina, which is why she opted for the phantom workout. “I have finished two levels and can now climb all the way up to my 11th floor office without panting too much. I feel more energetic and active after signing up for the workout. Recently, we had an impromptu plank challenge at work. While most people could stay in position for only a minute, I did it for almost three minutes.Such short and quick programmes require a lot of dedication and hard work, but you can really see the results if you are sincere,“ she says.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DIET
The workouts have several variations that basically confuse your brain. Your body tends to adapt to a movement quickly, so varying rest intervals and workout sequences shake things up, and help burn fat and build resistance. While Kristian says that the phantom workout doesn't require one to go on a diet (you do, however, have to watch what you eat), fitness expert Leena Mogre feels that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% workout.“People want variety and trainers understand this.There is a good chance of success with a workout regime that has variety . Confusing the body is one of the principals of weight training -also called instinctive training. It is a shift from doing something that your body is used to. It is good to try something new, but 80% is diet, and if you don't follow a proper diet, you will not lose weight,“ she says.
