Body of FIRE : Chad Waterbury’s F.I.R.E. Workouts Methodology
Lately there’s been lots of fuzz about the Body of FIRE package. But what exactly is it and what does it contain? First of all, in case your wondering, F.I.R.E is an acronym that represents Chad’s workout methodology.
Body of F.I.R.E
Full body
Intense
Resistance
Exercise
Chad developed this methodology from his over 14 years of experience testing this stuff. The Package also includes a simple 24 pg nutrition guide (fad diets not involved, nor starving yourself) starving yourself slows down your metabolism… and another manual to solely explain the right technique for each exercise with full color photos and arrows.
The program will definitely get you back in shape no matter how much you let yourself go, make you feel strong, and melt some stubborn fat away while you’re at it. Chad Waterbury fans will enjoy this one.
The training consists of Full body workouts because scientifically speaking, the more muscles you work, the more you will tax your metabolism. They must be Intense as well, in order to burn the biggest amount of calories during and even hours after your workouts. One of the ways Chad suggests to increase intensity is by increasing the speed of the motions.
Resistance, the next factor, is necessary to build strength and muscle. This is necessary not only to build musculature and physicality (curves) but having more strength allows you to workout more intensely and thus burn even more calories. Ideally, you’re teaching your body to become a fat furnace machine with your regimen.
It is suggested that any women going through this training use light weights enough to create a burn and build strength, but not extremely heavy weights that will create bulk. (men should follow the guidelines without concern, for you’ll be on your way to a “cut up” body.
The Exercises in Body of Fire are very well thought out. There are exercises for each part the jam packed workout.
Mobility exercises: Exercises to start up your body to get ready for the workout, these exercises focus on improving your posture so that when you do the rest of your workout you do it with good technique and your body is aligned. Many if not most exercise programs skip this crucial step that takes only a few moments time.
Cardio moves: nothing too new here, just basic moves to follow the method. This part of the workout focuses on getting your body into fat burning mode.
Strength: Exercises to build strength in an athletic way with just a pair of dumbells and your own body weight. For the in depth fitness guys : The load begins with a 10 RM weight for the first phase and each new phase the load is increased to say an 8 RM weight, and so on, so it definitely builds strength.
Cardio Strength: This portion of the workout focuses on using multiple body part exercises simultaneously, to get everything moving, and maybe get you a little out of breath.
Stretching: And finally, the workouts end with simple stretches to maintain your good posture and technique for the rest of the day and for the added benefit of flexibility.
Hope you enjoyed this in depth review.
