Workout Program to Get Ripped!
If you've been looking for some workout programs to get ripped, you've just found what you're looking for. Profiled below you'll find a workout that's set up in a circuit training format. If you're unfamiliar with circuit training, I'll tell you this - it's the absolute best way to shed body fat and well, basically get ripped!
The concept behind circuit training is to blend cardio with strength training. This is accomplished by performing your exercises in a back-to-back format without a rest period in between each set. Only once all the exercises in the "circuit" have been completed will you get a couple minutes to rest and regroup.
The purpose of eliminating the rest periods - aside from the obvious cardiovascular benefits - is to increase the accumulation of lactic acid, which is a by-product of anaerobic metabolism. As lactic acid levels increase, growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland and growth hormone, as one of its functions, promotes fat burning by transporting the fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidization.
A lot of fancy words I know, but all you need to know is that circuit training helps you burn more fat. So now that we've established that, we can get right to the workout program.
