Apolo Ohno’s Olympic Interval  Training Workouts

There’s no question that Apolo Ohno has become the United States most decorated Winter Olympic athlete on the Short Track with 8 career medals.  If you watched Apolo skate in the 2010 Winter Games, you had to be as amazed as I was with his explosive speed and quickness on the track!  You don’t obtain that amount of quickness and explosiveness without high intensity interval training.  Apolo Ohno’s workouts are intense and a big reason why he is the best in the world  when it comes to Olympic Speed Skating.

As an American, I’m certainly proud of Lindsey Vonn’s Olympic performance.  As a Fitness Trainer, I’m  even more impressed by the intensity of  Lindsey’s workouts and her focus & determination. I can now see why Lindsey Vonn won the Gold Medal in Olympic Downhill.  She is a true champion that did what others would not do in order to achieve what most only dream of.

Here ’s a great video that showcases a typical day in the gym with gold Medalist, Lindsey Vonn.  Think you can keep up with her?

Thanks Lindsey for bringing home the GOLD!!!!

Plyometric & High Intensity Interval Training


4 min Fat Burning Cardio Workout w/ Exercise Bike – Try this Quick Fat Burning Cardio Workout using an Exercise Bike with Tabata Intervals.

10 Minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Workout\

This workout consists of 8 rounds of medicine ball burpees, using the Tabata Protocol (20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest per round). After completion of this exercise, there is a 60 second rest period. Then, begin the next exercise with countdowns using pushups and explosive jumps. Countdowns are simply intervals workouts that start with 10 reps for each movement have a 10 second rest period between “sets.” Each successive set starts with one less rep. Once you reach 5 reps, eliminate the rest period between sets. If you’re very pressed for time, this workout will deliver. Prepare to sweat and breathe heavy. Once this becomes easy for you, simply add more intervals to the burpee exercise and do explosive pushups for all intervals in the countdowns.
