A 10 Minute High Intensity Workout lasts only 1/6 of a lunch hour! It’s the average time it takes to check and reply to your emails! The time it takes to walk 10 New York City blocks! With such short time commitment anyone can do it!
“Countless studies have shown that the most commonly cited reason for not exercising is a “lack of time.”… However, there is a growing appreciate of the potential for intense, interval-based training to stimulate improvements in health and fitness in a range of populations”
“Data suggest that a low frequency, high intensity approach to training is associated with a greater long-term-adherence as compared with a high frequency, low intensity approach.”- Martin Gibala, PhD, chairman of the Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada.
Our bodies are naturally lazy. That may sound like a bad thing, but when you think about the amount of energy our ancestors had to burn stalking, spearing, and dragging home an antelope – or running from a hungry lion – it makes sense that our bodies evolved to conserve energy. In other words, we’re naturally inclined to take the path of least resistance. We choose to walk rather than run. We choose to sit rather than stand. When a hiker goes missing in the mountains, rescuers simply need to focus on the areas where the walking is easiest, and they will almost always find them!
The challenge – and the advantage – of the Naturally Intense 10-
That’s how you burn the most body fat, build the most muscle and get stronger and the key to accomplishing that goal is to choose exercises that are so demanding that you’d rather not do them and to perform those exercises in ways that make you want to stop as soon as possible.
If that sounds counterintuitive, it is.
However, the people who get the best results from their training are the ones who choose the most taxing exercises.
How does the average man or woman increase their training intensity high enough each time to get the most out of a workout?
Answer: By training at high intensity for SHORT periods of time and if the workout only lasts 10 minutes, anyone can do it!
For most people, the thought of doing set after set of exercise in the gym for an hour or more 5 to 6 times a week makes their toes curl.
But with Naturally Intense High intensity Training, you spend only a few minutes doing any one exercise- as that’s all you will need! The focus is on compound movements that work several muscles at once and we implement a variety of high-intensity training principles to get the most out of each exercise, but in a way that ensures that you never get injured!
Yes, it’s hard, but the point of high-intensity training is that as hard as it may be, it’s doable, and nearly anyone, regardless of fitness level, can do it – and do it well.
Besides its short duration, the fact that it’s only 3 times a week (you’ll need the rest) – and the long-term promise of a stronger, healthier and better looking you – there’s another powerful motivator that will get you through your Naturally Intense 10-Minute Workout:
You see results fast.
In as little as 2 weeks you’ll see the changes in your body. You might not expect it but there are few things more exhilarating than really pushing yourself physically.
Most of our clients are exceptionally busy men and women who all said they could not have achieved their fitness goals with a conventional program that required a significant time commitment given their hectic schedules.
And that the intense but tolerably short nature of the workouts being the reason they stuck with it longer than any other program they tried.

Why Are Pull Ups So Hard For Some But Not For Others?
Pull ups are an exercise people love to hate!
They love to hate it because in my experience, most untrained men or women can`t do one pull up and those who train can often struggle to do 6 or 10.
Why?
Because pull ups are hard!
And yet people like myself can easily do as many as 20-25!
So what`s the reason for this discrepancy?
Is there some secret that allows me and others to do pullups so easily?
There isn`t, and in this video I go over exactly why I can do as many as I can and why it can be so much harder for others.
I also go over my #1 pull up variant that ANYONE can do, even if you can`t do one pull up.
And yet it can build strength and muscle size in some cases even more so than regular pull ups!
So click the link in my bio to see the full video on YouTube or go to my channel by looking up naturallyintense!
Thanks in advance for watching and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Maximize Biceps Growth With High Intensity Arm Blaster Hammer Curls!
50lb Dumbbells For 20 reps!
The Arm Blaster is a fantastic piece of equipment for a home gym or any gym!
It doesn`t take up much space and allows you to add variety to your biceps training.
It locks your elbows in place, thus increasing training intensity, and by doing a hammer curl, you can use more weight (thus increasing intensity even more) and target your brachialis muscles which help add density to your biceps!
This was my last set and I couldn`t go any heavier as I am still nursing a wrist injury, but the 50lbers were more than enough to do the job!
Try them out next time you train arms and let me know how it goes!!!
Still training, hope you are too and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Injury-Proof Your Training: The Power of Workout Variation!
One of the main reasons why I can still train heavy and intensely at 49 after 35 years of nonstop training without any training related overuse injuries is the fact that I vary EVERY workout!
Overuse injuries come from doing the same movements over and over and by always changing your routine, you radically lessen the likelihood of chronic injury.
Squats, deadlifts, barbell curls and bench presses are great exercises, but if you do them all the time, you do increase the odds of getting injured.
And as a natural athlete, it bears mentioning that it takes years to realize your full potential, and so it`s crucial to have a training program that is sustainable, and one that will allow you to train injury free for as long as I have or longer!
Thanks so much for tuning in and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

This Is What 35 Years of Natural Bodybuilding Looks Like!
So as you know, As you may know I recently turned 49 and every year I do a photoshoot to show my progression.
In the hopes of showing that you can not only maintain a level of excellence as the years go by, but that you can do it without steroids, TRT, drugs or even pre-workouts and protein shakes!
(I’ve never had a pre-workout or energy drink and haven’t had a protein shake in decades!)
You don`t need it as all it does make you forget tht excellence doesn’t require anything outside of yourself.
You already have all the tools you need!
Not a huge fan of taking photos of myself, (I much prefer being behind the camera) but I humbly try to be one example of just how much you can achieve with proper training and an uncompromisingly proper diet!
So here I am again at 49 and I am looking forward to seeing what you accomplish over the years as well!!! Thanks so much for tuning in and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
