CB: How do these workouts compare to others that you have done in the past?
TT:
The intensity is awesome. From the time I drink my pre-workout shake until I finish
HIIT an hour or so later, it's like I'm heading down the field on a long run, and
I'm not going to let anyone keep me from scoring. I don't stop for anything. If
an area is being used, I just go to the next superset and pick the other one later
in the workout.
I think the benefit is that it is very time-efficient and manageable, and it's really
hard to get bored with it.
CB: What are the health benefits you have achieved in your return to training?
TT:
In short, I have better health, stronger muscle (and more of it), great cardio endurance
for my every day life, and I'm looking good.
Altogether, these benefits have helped me enjoy my life a lot more, and that's the
ultimate benefit as far as I'm concerned.
My life is much better disciplined now, and even when I cheat on my eating, I don't
worry about it any more. I know the commitment is strong, and I'll get back. This
has caused me to enjoy life to the fullest. Recently, I got into an elite musical
performing group, and I find that I have much better stamina than before, and a
whole lot more motivation to succeed and to live a better life.
Recently, you were made aware that I had given my body a break for a month or so.
That went on a lot longer than I intended, and consequently, I put on about 10 pounds.
I must say, however, that I knew all I had to do was start back on my workouts,
and it would all come back to me.
CB: Thanks Todd, and keep up the great work with your fat loss workouts.
