Today was a rainy day, even though the weather should have kept people away, it ended up that so many people came out to the boot camp. We had a near full house and it was an awesome workout for those who attended. So for those of you who are always looking for motivation, remember, there is power in numbers. Sure, you can get a great workout on your own and in the comfort of your own home, however, there is a power in having many share in the training experience.

The following video is a real world situation that I found myself in this evening. Click on video to watch!

Vigorous Exercise Protects Your Heart This week, Norwegian researchers reported their findings that high intensity interval training maximally improves every conceivable measure of heart function and heart strength. It also helps to prevent both the pre-diabetic metabolic syndrome and the heart damage it causes (Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews, July 2009).

This is more evidence that older people who compete in vigorous sports, such as biking and running, live longer and suffer less disease than people who exercise at a more casual pace. The most intense exercise includes interval training: running or cycling very fast to become severely short of breath, then resting and repeating these almost maximum efforts several times in the same workout. Controlled interval training is now a treatment for heart failure. High-intensity interval training raises the good HDL cholesterol far more than less intense exercise (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, March 2009). Intense exercise for older people is still a controversial subject, but these new results concur with many earlier studies. Intense exercise is far more effective than casual exercise in preventing and treating diabetes (Circulation, July 2008) and reducing belly fat (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise [MSSE], November 2008). Vigorous exercise protects obese people from heart attacks and prolongs their lives, even if they don’t lose weight (MSSE, October 2006). Intense exercise is more effective in preventing heart attacks than less intense exercise done more frequently (MSSE, July 1997). Death rate from cardiovascular disease is lowered by high intensity activities such as jogging, swimming, hiking, tennis and climbing stairs, but not by lower intensity activities such as walking, bowling, sailing, golf and dancing (Heart, May 2003). Paul Thompson, of the University of California at Berkeley, showed that the faster aged runners run, the lower their blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels (Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, October 2008).
