Hey, good day everyone. Teacher would get fit methods, fit light blueprint post turkey day. So are you feeling a little guilty today? Are you feeling a little carb, heavy, sodium, heavy, waterlogged, fatigued? So the best method that I find to me is like carb loading when you eat like that. It's not like you do it every day.

Speaker 1: 0:50

A lot of people get really guilty about eating, or eating as much as they do during the holiday, and thank goodness it is just the holiday that you do this, because if you're doing it more often than that, then that creates another issue altogether. That's why most people will tend to gain. I'm not sure what the rate is now, how much they gain between Halloween and the first of the year. It was 15 to 20 pounds. I'm not sure if it's more or less. These days, rather than any rate, the way I like to train my clients or advise people to do is the quick five, which is the big five. So the big compound movements, squats or some kind of leg exercises, compound like a squat, even a deadlift can be included in that big five, some kind of compound movement, chest dumbbell press, barbell, bench press. I'm not going to get too many specifics about what the best method for those is just kind of a general overview of exercises I think work best to burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time. So I said legs, squats, deadlifts, back would be a lat pull down, or dumbbell rows, a barbell row, and then shoulders would be dumbbell, overhead press, barbell press, something that affects the press. Push ups are just fine. Chest press, barbell press, dumbbell press. You're going to list a lot you can do compound movement wise. And then you go to you can do a bicep curl too. I'm going to say that's been a big body part, no tricep, but it's not really part of the compound. You can add those in there. You can add those in there so you can do some deadlifts, squats, deadlifts, squats, deadlifts, squats, deadlifts, squats. They're kind of the same, except for one focus on hamstrings, focus on quads. But it's still compound movement, back and kind of back compound movement. Shoulders, then chest, and that's pretty much it. That's five. Because you know somebody say well, what about core Trying to be upright? When you're doing a row, when you're doing a push up, you're doing a pull up, something like that. Your core is constantly working. Trust me, I think sometimes the core thing is overdone. That's another subject for a different day, but at any rate, those are the top five.

Speaker 1: 3:54

Tempo is what I suggest. And, ladies, don't worry about this whole thing about oh, if I lift weights, get bulky. Too much protein makes me bulky. It's all false, false information, especially when you're doing tempo. You're doing doing one set per body part to absolute failure. That's it. That's all you need to do.

Speaker 1: 4:26

The study has shown that if you do I think it's 50 who did tempo, one set per body part, say the top five and then the other set of 50 did the three to four sets of traditional way of training. The results were the same. So my question for you out there is why would you spend that much time doing more when you do less and get the same? So, training smart, training hard, yeah, it's that. So why would you spend time? And one thing we cannot get back, especially for my 40 plus people out there women, especially because you stay busy most of the time is why would you spend that much time when you can spend less time and then have more time to spend with family doing the other thing that you like, besides spending hours and hours in the gym and getting minimal results for all the time you spent when you can do less and get more. So that's my top five for today for you post-Turkey people.
