The Vince Del Monte Metabolic Fat Loss Finishers involve more resistance training and intense movements, which is great for burning fat. In a flowing motion, get down to a squatting position, hop to a push-up position, hop back to a squatting position, hop back up to a standing position, and continue the flow for repetitions. It reminds me of one of the Sun Salutation yoga exercises. Body extensions involve squatting into a sitting position and then standing up on toes with arms stretched out overhead, but continue the flow, up and down, for repetitions. The final exercise is just Jumping Jacks.
Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as during the weekends, give your muscles a break by doing some stretches as well as less intense exercises, such as brisk walking, cycling, yoga and Pilates.
Although Vince Delmonte has hundreds of different exercises within his ‘No-Nonsense’ program that range from various muscle groups around the body he also has some specific rules that are good to follow for beginners. If you are just starting out with weight training and want to see some immediate change then it is a good idea to follow some of Vince’s golden rules for weightlifting.
The main rule he has is to be sure to not spend hour after hour in the gym. The best thing you can do as a beginner weightlifter is to get into the gym, push yourself as hard as possible with 10-12 sets of high intensity weight exercises and then to leave, allowing yourself a long rest period in which you can grow. While this does not mean you should sit around for days after a single workout it does mean that you should not spend every waking moment in the gym and instead rely on a regular schedule complete with rest periods.
This combines with the second rules and that has to work with compound lifts more than the isolated exercises. Instead of doing sets focused on biceps, then triceps and so on, you should instead rely on exercises such as squats, bench presses and other hard exercises that will work several muscles at once as well as strengthening your core. By getting yourself on an upper or lower body workout or even a full body workout, you are going to be maximizing your time and therefore efficiency at the gym to get much more potential from your exercise routines. Technique is also important and if you maintain good form you not only lower the chance of injury but can also get more from your exercises as you place stress on the muscles you are trying to stress, rather than placing stress on muscles elsewhere in your body trying to lift a weight wrong.
Cardio is less important within the program Vince has created. As long as you are gaining weight through healthy foods then you are going to need less cardio exercise as you want to hold onto those precious calories for the time within the gym and your high intensity workouts. Cardio is good for general health but should only be done in small bursts of low intensity so not to waste any calories that could otherwise be turned into muscle through weight training. Furthermore, rest is important and a good night’s sleep is the best thing you can do within a muscle-building program. Ensure that you are always getting enough sleep and you will begin to see an improvement not just in your body but also within your workouts as you are more active and can push yourself much harder.
