Bruschi is 2 Years Old!

Today, is my boxer, Bruschi's, 2nd Birthday! By now you probably feel like you know as much about him as you do about me! He is quite the little trouble maker!

So yesterday as the world was preparing for the change to the oval office, I was preparing for the end of Bruschi's "puppy years" and the start of his adolescence.

I will let you in on a little secret, HE IS NEVER GOING TO GROW UP! For those of you who have had the honor to meet the little lunatic, he still cries when I talk on the phone!

Talk about high maintenance! So, I doubt he will grow up and neither should you!

You too can start by slowing the aging process!

According to the results of a Norwegian study, a group of participants who performed high intensity interval training for sixteen weeks, successfully eliminated signs of metabolic syndrome, present at baseline, when compared to people who performed regular, moderate intensity exercise.

Metabolic Syndrome is just one effect of growing older. As we grow older our body absorbs less oxygen. The study also revealed that oxygen absorption rates also increased by 35% with more vigorous exercise, versus 16% in the moderate exercise group.

What does that mean? A significant increase in Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption or "Afterburn" meaning you BURN MORE CALORIES over a 24 to 48 hour period!

Not only do you limit your risk factors for abdominal obesity, hypertension and glucose intolerance, all symptoms of metabolic syndrome, but you will be able to work out for a shorter period of time!

Senior author of the study, Dr Ulrik Wisløff (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), says, "shorter and harder training sessions may be good medicine for improved fitness and reversal -- and prevention -- of established cardiovascular risk factors."

I encourage you to never grow up! Age is but a number! Think about how young you feel when you finish one of your intense core workouts or interval sessions!

Think young and be young! Start today and increase your metabolic rate by exercising MORE INTENSELY!

Dedicated to your increased calorie burn,
