Workout examples from Precision Nutrition
The previous post was submitted by Dr. John Berardi and at the end of that article he had put a few workout examples of his director of Customer and Expert Relations (Amanda Graydon). Since it’s so much easier to explain things with images, I thought it would be good to find the videos and put them here so you can see.
I’ve also included below comments that Dr. Berardi had written as well:
“This first workout is a simple but very difficult one. Amanda starts the treadmill at a 15% incline and 8mph. She sprints for 20 seconds and then rests for 10. Back and forth between work and rest she goes for a total of 5 minutes (or 10 total sprints). Of course, she didn’t start out at this intensity. She slowly worked up to this over time with smart progression. And every week she makes the workout harder by either increasing the speed, increasing the incline, or increasing the number of sprints she does.”
Precision Nutrition Treadmill Workout tips: What Amanda is doing is quite challenging because she’s running at high intensity on an include … that’s no easy challenge. If you are just beginning and you just want to start getting in shape, just focus on WALKING before you run. J

“This second workout is one that Amanda is famous for. She picks 5-6 exercises and does them in circuit fashion. Typically she does 30 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of rest. Back and forth between work and rest she goes for a total of 5-6 rounds. Again, she didn’t start out at this intensity. She slowly worked up to this over time with smart progression. And every week she makes the workout harder by either increasing the work time to 35 or 40 seconds, decreasing the rest time to 20-25 seconds, increasing the load of each exercise, or by doing extra rounds of the exercises.”
Precision Nutrition circuit Interval Workout 1: You don’t have to be at this level of fitness, but it gives you an idea of what’s possible in time with a bit of commitment. Maybe the idea is to start by mastering one of the many exercises that you see in this fitness video!

I was also able to find a couple more workout videos from Precision Nutrition:
Precision Nutrition circuit Interval Workout 2: You’ll see a full mix of different workouts here. Now I have to say that some are quite advanced and intensive, but in time anyone can do this stuff … most of us are so much stronger than we think.

I have my own copy of Dr. John Berardi’s Precision Nutrition V3 course and I will share my finding with readers. That said, I truly encourage you to get your own copy because the information is really solid and this is THE nutritional systems most fitness professionals use to stay in shape.

I also think that Dr. Berardi’s Gourmet Nutrition cookbook is a MUST-HAVE for anyone looking to learn how to cook healthy and tasty recipes. You can find more about it here: Gourmet Nutrition Cookbook
