In this exercise DVD, John Tagge’s Afterburn heart-rate training combines the scientifically proven concepts of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), commonly referred to as afterburn, with individualized heart-rate monitoring to create a unique, customizable workout program that optimizes weight loss and brain functioning
Because it is individualized, Tagge Afterburn works for everyone
, regardless of current fitness level and weight-loss goals. This is a serious, results-oriented, exercise program for fat loss, backed by solid science . . . but without the guesswork or intimidation factor so often associated with other workout programs of this type. Fundamentally, Tagge Afterburn owes its effectiveness to the fact that it not only achieves maximum calorie burn during the workout, but it keeps the metabolism revved for hours afterwards. This so-called afterburn effect, achieved in a workout as short as 20 minutes, is triggered by systematically alternating relatively short periods of high-intensity effort with periods of recovery. Much like the car engine that remains warm long after the ignition is turned off, when this type of exercise is done correctly, the body will 'stay hot' and continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for up to 48 hours post-workout. Heart-rate monitoring throughout the workout routine is key, providing constant, objective feedback in real time, thus ensuring that exercise is being performed safely at the proper intensity for maximum results. Added bonus: Once learned, Tagge Afterburn's simple, fat-blasting techniques can be applied to just about any other exercise activity, making this program easily adaptable to individual lifestyles, needs, and preferences. On a cautionary note: Applied in whatever form, Tagge Afterburn can be addicting. Done consistently, Tagge Afterburn yields significant fat-loss benefits, to be sure, but beyond that, can bestow a host of other physical, mental, and psychological benefits that are known rewards of vigorous exercise. More than 'just another' exercise program for weight loss, Tagge Afterburn is a powerful tool that transforms lives.
