Here is a far better explanation of our program then I could ever explain in twice the space...from our friends at Workout Muse.
The Science Behind Workout Muse Part I- Interval Training
For More Than Twice The Fat Loss In Less Than Half The Time!
Workout Muse consists of a unique, fat-smashing combination of Interval Training and Inspiring Sound to bring out the best of you each and every workout. Read below to learn more about why Workout Muse is revolutionizing the fitness industry:
45 Hours of Aerobic Training Leads to ZERO Fat Loss Over Dieting Alone!
What's the first thing anybody does when they want to lose some pounds?
That's right, they hop on the first cardio machine available and go at the same slow, boring pace for hours at a time day in and day out.
Tried this before? So have we... AND IT DOESN'T WORK!
So, why do we all so stubbornly keep doing the same old, outdated aerobic training?
Because naturally we think that the more time we spend doing something the better the ensuing results will be.
But sometimes we just need some good old, direct scientific evidence proving what we already know to be true:
Aerobic Training Alone For Fat Loss Doesn’t Work!
Landmark Aerobic Training StudyUtter AC, Nieman DC, Shannonhouse EM, Butterworth DE, Nieman CN. Influence of diet and/or exercise on body composition and cardio respiratory fitness in obese women. Int J Sport Nutr. 1998 Sep; 8(3): 213-22.The addition of 45 minutes of steady-state aerobic exercise 5 days per week for 12 consecutive weeks had ZERO EFFECT over dieting alone!
So let's get this right...
45 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 times per week for 12 straight weeks = ZERO FAT LOSS = 45 hours of wasted fat loss training!
There is still no better way to build cardiovascular conditioning and endurance but for fat loss you’ve been hood winked.
So What Does Work for Fat Loss?
INTERVAL TRAINING!
Interval Training consists of alternating between bouts of all-out high-intensity effort and low-to-moderate intensity active recovery periods.
Interval Training has long been proven in both scientific research and real world case studies to be the most effective way to maximize fat loss AND improve overall conditioning while taking less than half the time of the long, slow, and boring steady-state aerobic training alternative.

It’s not about time… IT’S ALL ABOUT INTENSITY!
The key to our Rapid Fat Loss Boot Camp Workouts is INTENSITY. In both scientific research and real world studies, time and time again one thing is clear: Intensity is truly the only thing that makes your body change! Intensity is the key to ripping off ugly, unwanted body fat and gaining lean,
sexy muscle.
As much as we’d love to claim we’ve reinvented the wheel here, this intensity principle is nothing new in the fitness world. Even as far back as 1994 in the Metabolism Journal researchers discovered the following: each calorie you expend during high-intensity exercise burns 9 times more fat than the same calorie expended during steady state aerobic exercise! Don’t believe this? Well, trust us when we say that you definitely will become a believer in intensity after performing your first interval workout. It’s really the coolest thing in the world. It’s like you just flip the switch to building the body of your dreams. See below to learn more about why this happens:
The Role of HIGH-Intensity Exercise
- Embraces the Carb-Burning Zone: High-Intensity exercise rapidly reducing muscle glycogen (stored sugar) during training which promotes enhanced total body fat-burning at all other times of day.
- Burns a TON of Calories Both During AND After Exercise: This phenomenon is due to the post-workout “AFTERBURN” know as EPOC which describes the number of calories your body expends in the recovery of your metabolism back to pre-exercise levels from high-intensity training. The best part about EPOC is that you control it, meaning that the harder you work during training the more calories your body will burn BOTH during your workout AND for up to 24-48 hours after completing your workout!
- Creates the Optimal Hormonal Environment for Fat Loss: High-Intensity exercise puts your body in a “fight or flight” mode that forces your body to CHANGE as a means of survival. More specifically, your body releases catecholamines (primarily adrenaline) in response to interval training that directly mobilizes stored body fat so that it can be burnt off as energy during activity.
Rapid Fat Loss Resistance Training 101
For More Than Twice The Fat Loss In Less Than Half The Time!
The 5 Pillars of Resistance Training for Fat Loss
1.) Perform Total Body Workouts: For best results, you need to perform 3 total body resistance training workout per week with at least one day of rest between sessions. By working every muscle in your body each and every workout you will provide the optimal stimulus for both fat loss AND muscle growth. Not only do you maximize the number of calories burned during your workout, but you also maximize the number of calories your body expends recovering from your workout. These short-term increases in metabolism last anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after your workout. In addition, by gaining muscle, you will promote long-term increases in metabolism as it requires significantly more energy for you body to maintain new, hard-earned muscle mass. This is how you build a
sexy metabolism and become a fat-burning machine 24-7-365.
2.) Train Multi-Planar, Multi-Joint Movement Patterns in Free Space: There is no body part training here! The key to a properly designed resistance training program is one that emphasizes performance and function by focusing on movement patterns. This approach provides more balanced training and prevents injuries. Each and every workout that you will perform consists of up to 6 total exercise categories consisting of a double-leg movement (knee or hip-dominant), a push (horizontal or vertical), a pull (horizontal or vertical), a single-leg movement (knee or hip-dominant), a core movement (trunk or hip-dominant or linear or lateral/rotational pillar stabilization), and a cardio movement (linear or lateral/rotational locomotion emphasis). Furthermore, these movement patterns (with the exception of the isolated core work) consist of compound, multi-joint exercises that train your body in all THREE planes of motion. This means more muscles used, more calories burned, and thus greater stimulus for both fat loss AND lean muscle gain. Lastly, a sound fat loss program initially emphasizes equipment-free exercises because it is critical to first master your body weight before adding external loading in order to maximize relative strength (strength per lb of body weight) and to best prevent injuries!
3.) Perform Alternating Sets: Straight sets with long rest periods simply don’t make the cut here! You must perform alternating sets (supersets, trisets, circuits) of non-competing exercises (e.g. upper, lower, core, and/or cardio exercises) so that you can get as much work done as possible while maintain peak training intensity for both maximal fat loss AND muscle gain in minimal time.
4.) Escalating Density: From workout to workout, your goal is to accomplish more work in the same amount of time by performing more total reps and/or sets for each body weight-based exercise variation with perfect form and technique. More work done means more fat lost and more muscle gained. It’s that SIMPLE!
5.) Escalating Intensity: From month to month, your goal is to be able to gradually perform more difficult body weight exercise variations that require more strength. This increase in relative loading provides the stimulus of progressively harder work so that you can stay in pure fat-burning and muscle-building mode and breakthrough frustrating training plateaus. In addition, once mastering the foundational body-weight exercises, you can then look to add external resistance to further ramp up the fat-melting power of resistance training!
Time To Enter The Fat-Melting World Of Metabolic Resistance Training
The fusion of rapid fat loss interval training AND total body resistance training exercises for the most rapid and lasting fat loss possible!
The key to rapid fat loss resistance training is to deplete your body’s glycogen (the stored form of carbohydrate in muscle) tank so that your body starts using fat (both dietary and stored body fat) as it’s primary energy source at all other times of the day. You will literally be burning fat 24-7. This is best accomplished with high-intensity activity lasting 20-60 seconds in duration with properly pre-programmed work to rest periods. In others words, just as interval training is the best form of cardio for fat loss, so is interval training the best form of resistance training for fat loss.
Look no further than the WORLD FAMOUS TABATA PROTOCOL that has revolutioned the way fitness professionals program for fat loss:
Breakthrough Interval Training Study- The Tabata ProtocolTabata I, Nishimura K, Kouzaki M, Hirai Y, Ogita F, Miyachi M, Yamamoto K. Department of Physiology and Biomechanics, National Institute of Fitness and Sports, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. PMID: 8897392 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]- Greater Fat Loss: ONLY 4 minutes of intervals burned just as much fat as 60 minutes of moderate aerobic training. This means that for every second of exercise performed, interval training burns EXPONENTIALLY more body fat than the moderate aerobic training alternative. - Greater Fitness: Interval Training results in maximal improvements in both aerobic and anaerobic capacity, where moderate aerobic training only causes improvements in aerobic capacity. In addition, the aerobic improvements were greater with the interval group. In other words, Interval Training offers greater improvements in both anaerobic AND aerobic capacity in much less time than the aerobic alternative.
In addition, this form of metabolic resistance training not only burns a ton of calories during the actual workout but has a serious AFTERBURN effect which will have your burning more calories for hours and hours (some studies suggest anywhere from 12-24+ hours) after your workout is completed. This phenomenon is know as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) and describes the energy expended by your body in the recovery of your metabolic rate back to pre-exercise levels. Just take a look at the scientific study below proving how metabolic resistance training workouts increase post-workout calorie burn for up to TWO DAYS following the completion of the workout:
Breakthrough Metabolic Resistance Training Study:Schuenke MD, Mikat RP, McBride JM. Effect of an acute period of resistance exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption: implications for body mass management. Eur J Appl Physiol. 2002 Mar;86(5):411-7. Epub 2002 Jan 29.This study consisted of a 31-minute circuit training protocol (alternating set format) of 12 work sets of 3 different compount, multi-joint exercises. The researches discovered that EPOC was elevated significantly for 38 hours post-workout!!!
What if I told you that we have found an even better way to get results in less than 30 minutes? Well, believe it or not, we have! Our Rapid Fat Loss Boot Camp Workouts have maximized the time-saving alternating set format to be able to crank out AT LEAST 18 work sets and UP TO 32 work sets in ONLY 20 minutes time!
Traditional resistance training prescribes performing straight sets where you perform one set of an exercise, rest for 2-3 minutes, and the repeat for the designated number of sets before moving on to the next exercise in your workout. Metabolic Resistance Training combines the muscle building effects of resistance training with the cardiovascular benefits of interval training by using alternating sets of non-competing exercises. For example, you will perform one set of a lower body exercise for 60 s, rest for 20 s, perform one set of an upper body exercise for 60s, rest for 20 s, perform one set of a core exercise for 60 s, rest for 20 s, and then repeat this sequence for the designated number of rounds. Using this alternating set format, by the time you return to the lower body exercise you will still have nearly 3 minutes of recovery from that exercise as in the straight set format, but instead of doing nothing, you have been working your upper body and your core while technically “resting.”
This time-efficient approach provides the optimal fat-burning effect by keeping your heart rate elevated throughout the entire workout as if you were performing cardio while allowing you to perform each resistance training exercise at peak intensity for the optimal muscle-building stimulus. “Strength Cardio” provides the biggest bang-for-your-buck so that you can simultaneously build lean muscle mass AND melt body fat. Essentially you will be performing interval training with classic resistance training exercises like push-ups, squats, lunges, etc. More specifically, we like to use as much equipment-free, body weight-based exercises as possible since it caters to developing the lean, athletic look that 90+% of fitness enthusiasts are looking for!
This plan in conjunction with our integrated rapid fat loss cardio system (The 16-Week Rapid Fat Loss Cardio Program) and rapid fat loss nutrition system has our clients consistently ripping off 2-3+ lbs of ugly, unwanted body fat per week. This style of body weight circuit training will sky rocket your overall conditioning levels by improving both your anaerobic fitness AND your aerobic fitness at the same time. In fact, interval training has been scientifically proven to increase aerobic fitness even more than aerobic training alone!

The Science Behind Workout Muse Part II- Inspiring Sound
Your workout is only as good as your music!
There has long been a connection between workout music and workout intensity. Workout Muse seeks to provoke the appropriate response from the listener’s mind AND body during each and every workout for optimal results.
The effect of music on training is confirmed in a recent article by Men’s Health called “The Science of Workout Music.” According to the article, a new study from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia confirmed that “listening to your favorite music will help you push harder in your workouts. Men who listened to music while going hard on an exercise bike for 10 minutes pedaled 11 percent farther than those who listened to silence or static for the same amount of time.”
The fact is that even in a perfect world working out can be tough to do day in and day out and excuses to skip training are a dime a dozen. Now add on the daily stresses and surprises that life brings and there emerges even greater obstacles to staying the course. That’s why it’s critical to use any tools at your disposal to keep you energized and motivated about improving your body and your overall quality of life. Workout Muse embraces music as the most important tool for doing so.
According to the recent aforementioned article, listening to music makes exercise more entertaining making it easier to stick to your workout routine. "Music inspires movement," says Costas Karageorghis, PhD, a sports psychologist at Brunel University in London. "Like smell, it can penetrate areas of the brain that language alone doesn't reach." In fact, research has shown that synchronizing the speed of music with exercise gets people to train harder. In his latest study, Karageorghis compared participants' heart rates with the number of beats in music and found that matching the tempo to workout intensity mattered most for those who exercised the most strenuously. Since intensity is the only thing that truly makes your body change, music is an essential tool to help you push past your limits from workout to workout so you can keep breaking through plateaus and making gains.
Workout Muse is the ultimate workout inspiration. We challenge you to join everyone else who is hearing AND seeing the fat loss.
In addition, according to the recent reports from researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada, music can make you significantly stronger during your workouts. The study consisted of two different groups: the first group listened to high-tempo, motivational workout music and the second group wore noise-cancellation earphones. These researches discovered that the group listening to music had much better strength gains in 4 weeks when compared to their ear muffled counterparts. The author of the study, Jo M. Welch, Ph.D, claims that the results of the study were most likely the result of "music reducing people's perception of effort during training, allowing them to work harder."
So that is it in a nutshell. If you want to tone up and lose some body fat to show off the body or just feel younger and more energetic get in a class now. Ya can't lose the first week is free to try it out.
See you in class,
