Can you Outrun a Badger?

Most people's #1 reason to stay healthy is "their
family". The 'family' and 'physical' spokes of the Wheel
of Life are closely related. But, as with many other
worthwhile goals, the spirit is willing but the flesh is
often weak.

My friend Tim Kauppinen is an expert track and field coach.
He lives in Madison, too (Wisconsin, home of the U of W
Badgers).

The years had been a little unkind to "Coach K". His
waistline was spreading, and his flesh was definitely weak.

He was concerned, since both of his grandparents and his
aunt died in their early fifties from heart disease. His dad
had had a total of 10 heart bypasses and his cousin suffered
a massive heart attack in his 40's.

Tim was closing in on the big 4-0 himself, and didn't want
to leave his lovely wife and five lovely kids without him.
So he coached himself, and got back into shape by running.

Lots of people think of running or jogging when they think
about getting back into shape. But they dread it. The
most common complaint I hear about running, or the most
common excuse for someone not running is that it's "boring"
and it takes too long.

Or they put in the miles, but don't get the results.

The biggest mistake most people make with their running
workouts is that they run too long and too slow.

But Coach K did a special kind of running workout. One that
helped him drop seven pounds in two weeks, made his back and
legs flexible and pain-free, and made him feel young and
strong like he was in high school. All in less than
15-minutes a day.

Now that sounds more like it.

How'd he do it? He kept his workouts interesting, shorter
and effective, with high-intensity interval training.
What we used to call "wind sprints".

Short, intense bursts burn much more fat, jumpstart your
metabolism, restore your energy and vitality, and make you
much stronger than long, slow distance.

(As always, be careful. If you're not used to running,
you'll have to start slowly, and just run 'fast-er' before
you start running fast. But by increasing your intensity
you'll increase your results fast-er, too.)

Here's a classic workout for the track. Jog, run or sprint
the straight-away and walk the curves. You'll get twice the
workout (or more) per mile than you will straight jogging.

But Coach K puts his own unique twist on sprinting--he runs
uphill. Even a small hill ramps up the intensity and gives
you amazing results beyond what you'd ever expect. And hill
sprints can give you a full-body workout-in less than 15
minutes!

Like I said, Coach K is the expert, so you should learn the
rest from him. He's taken his years of training and
coaching experience (and what he's learned from his recent
makeover) and distilled it into the "Uphill Fitness
Training" Course. You can check it out here:

Uphill Fitness Training also includes core/abs, flexibility,
dynamic warm-ups and a stair workout for all fitness levels.
This course is amazing. And even if you only do 20% of what
he shows you, you'll be in the best shape of your life.

Your family will thank you (and just think of what you can
do with all the time you'll save).

Live like you Mean it,

Dr. Vince
