SPARTACUS TEEN WORKOUT - MUSCLE BUILDING AND FAT BURNING
I love living with my teen. It is so cool being able to workout with Funk Jr anytime we want. Whether it's doing a workout, playing basketball, football or flexing in the mirror (seriously)...I think my narcissism may have rubbed off on the poor child. There is nothing like spending quality time with my boy and advocate a healthy lifestyle at the same time.
We shot this workout last week to address all the teens that have been asking me for advice on training. I go off on a little tangent during the intro to dispel the myths that working out during your teens will STUNT YOUR GROWTH.
Funk Jr. was a true warrior on this hot and humid day. He's 14, almost 6ft and as he puts it "WANTS TO BE JACKED" - lol

7 TIPS FOR TEENS WHEN STRENGTH TRAINING
1. Start with basic body weight exercises for a few weeks (such as sit-ups, pushups, and pull-ups) before using weights if you have never picked up weights before – Spartacus Bodyweight Workout
2. Workout with weights about three times a week. Give your body, muscles, tendons and bones time to rest and recuperate by avoiding weight training on back-to-back days.
3. Warm up for 5-10 minutes before each session. Make sure you warm up with a slight jog, skipping rope or dynamic warm up to get the blood flowing to the muscles.
4. Spend no more than 40 minutes in the weight room or training to avoid fatigue or boredom. (Unless you are training for a sport or something specific.)
5. Work more reps; avoid maximum lifts. Unless you have a Trainer, coach to supervise you, avoid heavy lifting and stick to interval training or lifting lower weight for more reps.
6. Ensure you're using proper technique through supervision. Improper technique may result in injuries, particularly in the shoulder and back.
7. Stretch your muscles after training, Cool down for 5-10 minutes after each session.

MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF TRAINING FOR FAT LOSS
HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL CIRCUITS
Over the past 2 years after totally transformed my workout from boring 1 hour in the gym session that really didn’t get me the results I was looking for at home, High Intensity Circuit Workouts that have transformed my body into a fat burning, muscle sculpting machine. At over 40, I am no doubt in the best shape of my life!
Here’s why:
After cardiovascular exercise or weight training, the body continues to need oxygen at a higher rate than before the exercise began.
This sustained oxygen consumption is known as excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).
High intensity interval circuit workouts place such an intense demand on the system that it takes your body up to 36 hours to work its way back to homeostasis (a normal state). That means you'll incinerate calories for hours after you finish training, even if you're just lying on the sofa or creeping on Facebook.
High Intensity Interval Strength Training using your own bodyweight for example is the most effective way to burn fat and builds lean muscles. The workouts that I do will boost your metabolism for as long as 24 to 48 hours after the workout is over. The more intense your workouts are the more fat you will burn and the stronger and leaner you will become.
My high intensity interval bodyweight workouts will also improve your cardiovascular strength and endurance, agility, balance, speed, and power.
The reason why I keep my workouts short is because you are supposed to be pushing at your maximum effort. It is simply not possible to sustain this kind of intensity over longer periods of time.
Simply put, if you have anything left at the end of these workouts, then you didn’t train hard enough. It is really that simple.
Everyone has their own level of what max effort means, but the one thing that we should all have in common at the end of these workouts is that we should be completely wiped out. You are the only one that controls the intensity of these workouts.
Everything depends on your effort and how much you are prepared to push in these few minutes of training. If you decide to put comfort before intensity then you are trading away your results.
Below is the workout that we did that had be sweating and burning fat hours after I was done.
