What Does the Kentucky Derby Have to Teach Us about Hard, Lean Muscles?
What I’m about to tell you is a very powerful testimony to the concept of interval training, and why it’s the quickest, most effective way to burn fat, and get lean.
So, what does the Kentucky Derby have to teach us about hard, lean muscles?
Well, here’s the story…
My husband an I have some friends who are very well-known fitness professionals who have just returned from the Kentucky Derby.
It was their first time and they said that they had a fabulous time and that we should all plan to go next year. We certainly may do that…
But, here’s the point I want to make…
First, our friends described the attendance as totally packed with 151,000 people, which was the second largest attendance ever for the Kentucky Derby.
Interestingly, the women were dressed up along with their hats and the men were snazzed up as well. They took fantastic pictures.
Now, here’s the point… They noticed something very significant about the race horses as they filed by, and of course during the race.
What was so significant was the musculature of the race horses.
Now I know horses are generally lean and muscular animals, but these race horses were very lean and muscular. They were so impressed with how they could clearly see their leg muscles striations when they were walking past towards the track.
So, I asked, “But horses are generally quite lean, what was the difference here.”
They answered, “it’s that these horses run sprints”! They do this all the time! This is their workout style…
Wow! My friends saw first hand what regular interval training can do. Not just for a human, but for an animal as well.
I know I have talked to you about interval training and sprint training to achieve faster fat loss and body shaping. But this is a very powerful testimony to the concept of what interval training can do!
Look at human sprinters or those who train with intervals and high intensity exercises like I have discussed before. They are very lean and muscular and it doesn’t come from lifting a ton of weights.
They do cardio intervals at high intensities with full maximal effort.
Race horses are the same way. They don’t just go out for a jog that takes 1 hour. They run and they run hard and fast for a short period of time.
If you still don’t believe the research that interval training works for humans, perhaps you will see that it works with animals and then you’ll make the connection to humans.
This is a very powerful statement to see how race horse leanness and fitness can be duplicated in humans.
Now, if you are sedentary, please get a medical clearance from your personal physician. Then, please start slowly and work your way into intense intervals. Please do not just go out and sprint a 100 yard dash straight off the couch!
However, for those of us who are advanced—let’s get out there and exercise hard and fast to burn our fat fast!
