Give Your Workout a Break! split workouts

Hello Atlanta personal training, group, I found this article about breaking up your workouts, I would tend to agree with this but from my experience it is better and more practical to do 2 40 minute workout several hour appart, I find that I would have more energy 4-5 hours after a workout, the below article talkes about breaking up by 20 minutes, seems to have some merits, I really like to and believe in shock works meaning to very your workouts and durations of time and exercises.

Thought it was a interesting article and thought you might like it.
Give Your Workout a Break

Want to burn more fat and calories when you walk, swim, or run? Then take a break.

The rate at which your body burns fuel may be boosted even higher if you break up a long cardio session into two back-to-back 30-minute sessions with a 20-minute break in between. Breather, anyone? (see below ↓)

Start. Stop. Repeat.
How can scientists tell that a 20-minute rest helps rev up your fat burning? Men in a study who did just that (in between 30-minute sessions on a stationary bike) showed elevated blood levels of free fatty acids -- higher blood levels than those produced during a single 60-minute cycling session. And that bump in free fatty acids is a sign of increased fat burning: Circulating blood levels of free fatty acids go up when your body starts to break down fat.

More Ways to Burn Fat
Here are a few more ways to boost the fat- and calorie-burning powers of your power workouts:
Do cardio before strength training. Here's why . . .
Eat more of this.
Build some muscle. The more muscle you have, the more readily your body burns calories.

Shin soreness through exercises, cause and treatment

I had a client come to me with a problem with shin soreness. We tried some different things like anti inflammatory- Ibuprofen to take away the inflammation and then hopefully the pain and soreness in addition, ice and when possible rest. We also did calf raises and calf stretches, quad stretches and leg extensions. My thinking was that she had shin splits and these would be the most reasonable exercises to resolve her problem. My client finally when this did not help went to see a specialist. The specialist came up with a diagnosis of a problem with weak ankles leading to the shin pain. The doctors theory is that my client Kim had just taken up tennis and had increased her activity so the calves were strong but the ankles were slower to develop and caused the pain to radiate from the ankle up the shins. The treatment is do the above-mentioned items but to add a few other exercises and strategies. The doctor told Kim that she needed to stretch, strengthen and build up the ankles. The first exercise is a series of exercises balancing on a pillow, Calf raises, ankles and feet turned inwards and outwards, and I recommend about 30 repetitions. The next exercise is do one leg balancing on the pillow; this is done to work on the balance for the ankle. We will even do such exercises as bicep curls, upright rows and other upper body exercises still standing on the pillow. There are also boards with half ball on the bottom that is called balance boards that are very helpful. We will let you know how Kim does in the coming weeks.
