High-Intensity
Training With Bands -
Advanced Applications by Juan Carlos Santana
Juan Carlos Santana, M.Ed., C.S.C.S. serves
as NSCA Florida State Director and is a member of the NSCA Conference
Committee. He is ACSM certified and a Senior Coach and Club Coach
Course Instructor with USA Weightlifting, and a Level I coach with the
USA Track and Field Association. Carlos is currently a doctoral
candidate at the University of Miami's Department of Exercise and Sport
Sciences.
High-intensity
training is all about generating power. This does not necessarily mean that for
high-intensity training you jump, bound, and do plyometric training. What it means
is that you move fast and do as much work in as little time as possible. This
type of metabolic training (i.e., high-intensity training) does many things for
your body. First, it provides excellent conditioning and strength. Second, if
the exercise selection involves functional movements, it provides you with excellent
movement capability. Third, it torches the fat off your body. That's right, I
said it: High-intensity training melts the fat off your bones!
Traditionally,
people wanting to burn lots of fat during exercise have always been concerned with
staying in the fat burning zone. However, the concept of the fat burning zone
is misguiding when it comes to burning the fat off your belly. When training at
the lower intensities of the fat burning zone (i.e., at 70%-75% of your maximum
intensity), you do burn more fat as a percentage of the calories utilized during
the time that you're exercising. What you are not told is that the after burn
and the fat burning hormonal response (e.g., release of growth hormone and
epinephrine) are greater with high-intensity training. Thus, when you consider the fat that is
burned once you stop exercising, you end up burning more fat with
high-intensity training." Therefore, by taking advantage of high-intensity
training, our metabolic band protocols are scientifically designed to torch the
fat off your belly and give you more power in everything you do.
Our metabolic circuits are a favorite with all of our
clients-athletes and nonathletes alike. Our clients experience a real sense of
accomplishment when they master this advanced method of high-intensity training.
Several tweaks can adjust the level of intensity to match the participant's
needs. It is not uncommon for our clients to have sessions where they perform
three or four of our metabolic circuits with a 1:3 ratio of work to rest. We
can change the intensity of the circuits by manipulating the following variables:
1)
The speed of the movements.
a.
Slow down to decrease intensity.
b.
Speed up to increase intensity.
2)
The resistance of the band or pulley.
a.
Stand closer to the anchor point to decrease intensity.
b.
Stand farther away from the anchor point to increase intensity.
c.
Chose the right color and weight.
3)
The recovery time between circuits (more rest makes it easier;
less rest makes it
harder).
a.
Increase the rest period between circuits or exercises to
decrease
intensity.
b.
Decrease the rest period between circuits or exercises to increase
intensity.
In
our Essence of Band and Pulley Training: Vol. II DVD and manual we have numerous metabolic protocols
you can perform with bands or pulleys; here are a few of them.

There is more to high-intensity metabolic training than meets the eye. This
type of training is not just for the athlete-it is for anyone who wants to shed
fat pounds and get in shape. Of course, a sound nutritional program is a must
in order to see significant changes in body composition; you cannot exercise
away a bad diet. However, if you watch what you eat and stay on your eating
program, high-intensity metabolic training with bands will assist you in
getting the body you have always wanted!

ONE BODY ONE WORLD
Find the time and the place to reap the rewards of Harvest
There are almost two million farms in the USA. About 80% of those are small farms, and a large percentage are family owned.
More and more of these farmers are now selling their products directly to the public. They do this via CSA programs,
Farmers' Markets, Food Co-ops, u-picks, farm stands, and other direct
marketing channels.
Buying locally grown produce means bringing home fresher, more nutritionally rich food, and this translates to greater health for your family. Supporting local farms by shopping at local farmstands and at stores that stock local products keeps food transportation costs down, translating to lower food bills, and a smaller carbon footprint!
Knowing where your food comes from, how it is grown, and even who grows it helps us all understand and appreciate the work of our local farmers! You can search by zip code all the local farm stands, organic stands in your area, visit this website: http://www.localharvest.org/
