Here is a Special Report on a new Workout Finishers program from Trainer Mike Whitfield:
---------------------------
4 “sneaky” ways to burn MORE calories with ANY
workout
If you haven’t heard of Mike
Whitfield, his unique approach to metabolic finishers has been seen in the Mens
Health Big Book of Getting Abs and the Mens Health blog.
But that’s not his greatest
feat.
The guy has lost 105 pounds!
But more importantly, he’s
been able to keep it off…
He uses these high intensity
finishers that you can “plug in” with any workout and they have helped hundreds
of private coaching clients and thousands of online readers lose 5, 10, even 20
pounds and more with no cardio, including 6 Transformation Contest winners,
with thousands of people voting.
Plus, you’ll discover all 119 exercises he
uses inside his brand new follow-along system.
But there’s more to “finishers” than just a way to replace
cardio and intervals. I asked Mike to
give me more ways to use finishers to get 4X more out of your workouts. Enjoy!
4 “Sneaky” Ways to Use Finishers
Mike Whitfield, CTT (2012 TT Trainer of the Year)
Sneaky Trick # 1 - Use a Strategic Finisher
Schedule
Unless you’re ONLY doing
cardio for fat loss (and certainly hope not), you’re either on a full body
workout schedule or a form of an upper/lower split.
First, let’s take a look at
the total body schedule. This one is an easy choice. Simply pick any finisher
and plug it in. However, if you want to define your upper body more (shoulders,
arms, chest), then choose an upper body finisher to hit those trouble spots.
It’s a great way to “sneak”
in volume without having to sacrifice a lot of time.
Having trouble with the
thighs or looking for leaner, firmer legs? Hit a lower body finisher.
The variety of set and rep
schemes with the short rest periods will give your body a stimulus it’s never
experienced. That’s where the definition comes in.
Now, if you’re on an
upper/lower split or something similar, there’s a few of things you can do. If
you’re trying to lose fat faster, you could easily plug in the OPPOSITE muscle
group finisher. For example, if you’re on an upper body workout day, you could
polish off your workout with a lower body finisher.
That means you’ll hit your
whole body, activating more muscle groups. That means more calorie burning.
Another choice is using a
density style finisher because they fit really well with any type of
upper/lower split. They are short enough for a metabolic afterburn but won’t
impede recovery. Just be conservative your first week. Trying to get a more
chiseled muscle look? That’s the next tip…
Sneaky Trick # 2 - How to Get a More “Chiseled” and
Athletic Look with Finishers
Another benefit of using
workout finishers is you’ll see more defined muscle because you use more
resistance than traditional interval training and because of the disturbance on
your metabolic systems with the unique set and rep schemes.
But to get even MORE benefit
with the finishers, you can create HARDER muscle by working the same
muscle group as you do in your main workout.
For instance, if you do an
upper body workout, you could easily plug in an upper body finisher to produce
more volume. And because of the way they use “metabolic stacking” (more volume
in less time), you won’t run into overuse injury.
That means you’ll get harder
muscle, giving you a more chiseled look (again, something you won’t find with
interval training).
Sneaky Trick # 3 - Use a Finisher on an Off Day to
Accelerate Fat Loss
Yes, you will be surprised
that finishers are 10 minutes are less, but remember to look at the studies.
When using metabolic stacking like density, you can speed fat loss, improve
conditioning and even dominate your workout performance by putting such a
unique stimulus on your system.
What you may not understand
until you put these finishers in place is what it does MENTALLY. These
finishers speed fat loss; sure. But it’s more than the calories being
burned.
When you take 15 minutes to
get to the gym, and then another 30-40 minutes to do your “cardio”, and finally
another 15 minutes to come home, that’s over an hour wasted on your day.
That’s mentally draining and
it takes time away from your friends and family. This can easily lead you to
poor food choices. I’ve seen this happen with my clients that did this before
using finishers.
Plug in one of these quick
finishers instead and you’ll be rejuvenated, helping you make smarter
decisions. I recommend you knock it out in the morning or mid-day instead of
going for the second cup of coffee.
Sneaky Trick # 4 – You Can Create Your Own Workout!
This is perhaps the newest
discovery of workout finishers. You should see the success stories of
people just like you who are doing this very approach.
How would you like to
literally create your own workout? Yes, you can create your own “metabolic
stack”! How cool is that? Here’s the thing to remember when doing this
approach…
Pick at most 4 finishers
when using this method. Even then, that’s being aggressive. I personally
wouldn’t do anymore than 3.
Remember, your body is
taking in a lot of volume in a short amount of time, so finishers are MUCH more
intense than standard workouts.
You will want to rest for 2
minutes between finishers when using this method. Pick your
finishers and go after it. You’ll experience INSANE fat loss, but this is just
a warning – this is very HARD work.
But some readers have told
me they saw results within just a few days of using this unique approach. I
recommend doing them in this order here:
1) Density Finisher
2) Lower Body Finisher
3) Upper Body Finisher
2) Lower Body Finisher
3) Upper Body Finisher
This way, you’ll hit the
total body with the density finisher, and then you’ll hit your trouble spots
with the other two. If you’re crazy, you can add one more finisher.
Bonus Tip – So
perhaps you went a little overboard at the party or over the weekend with the
food? I’ve been there. Honestly, with my genetics, I can look at a bag of chips
and gain two pounds J
This is what I did with my
private clients – use a finisher after your main workout PLUS for the next 7
days, work through one finisher on your off day as well. This will boost your
overall metabolic rate.
That will let you make up
ground fast from your weekend binge (and don’t worry, we’ve all done it!).

Awesome tips from Mikey…
That’s amazing he has lost

life. You can probably relate to him. You’ll see his struggles and how was able
