5 High Intensity Finishers That’ll Burn Fat & Build Mental Toughness

High Intensity Finishers


Results and intensity go hand in hand.
You can spend 4 hours a day in the gym but unless you have a plan and intensity you're not going to get much in return for your efforts.

High intensity finishers are designed to get you results and fast.
Want to torch some extra calories and build mental toughness that'll see you push through adversity both inside and outside of the gym?

Then these high intensity finishers are for you.

A high intensity finisher is a combination of movements performed back to back at the end of your workout.
These exercises are performed for a small duration of time, however you must put 100% of your efforts forward to finish your workout.
The high intensity finisher is designed to empty every last drop out of your proverbial gas tank.

After the weights the majority of guys that're aiming to lose fat opt to perform a prolonged steady state cardio workout (running or riding anywhere from 2 to 6 miles).
This is not optimal...

Here's Why You Should Adopt The High Intensity Finisher

  • It requires very little time, a finisher generally takes me between 5 and 10 minutes versus an hour of steady state cardio.
  • The high intensity finisher is a more efficient means of retaining muscle mass when compared to sustained state cardio.
  • It's engaging, when you're giving it your all your mind does not have time wonder, in the chaos of the high intensity finisher you'll find peace.
  • You don't need any fancy equipment... with a medicine ball and a box you can have one of the best high intensity finisher workouts possible, no need for expensive cardio equipment.

I’m SJ. I’m a fitness enthusiast and published author. I transformed my body from a skinny fat 135lbs with 18% body fat to a solid 192lbs at 8% body fat. I became qualified in a field I was passionate about. I founded several online businesses that allow me to pursue ideas and projects in my life that I am passionate about without having to constantly worry about money. I published several eBooks explaining the training and dieting techniques I used to achieve the body I have today. I learnt a plethora of new information on dieting and fitness by reading and applying what I read, to find out what does work and what doesn’t work, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed the health and fitness industry is full of non-sense claims and BS. I found out what was true and what worked for me and applied that knowledge. And you bet I had fun during the whole process.
