How many times a week do you need for best results?

Naturally Intense High Intensity Training™ are done only three times a week with no additional cardio or aerobic exercise needed.  

What exactly do you do during those short high intensity workouts?

Naturally Intense High Intensity Training™ consist of a series of free weight and resistance machine exercises designed to take you to the peak of your physical ability. The high intensity workouts are unlike anything that you have ever done before and each workout is unique so your body never has a chance to get used to them and thus improvements continue as long as you are on the program.

Is there any scientific validation to the idea of such a short high intensity workout?

Initially when our founder, Kevin Richardson started employing 10 minute high intensity training programs himself and with his clients almost two decades ago there was little scientific evidence regarding the efficacy of such short term high intensity training. Nevertheless he was able to refine the system over the course of decades training hundreds of people and found that the brief workouts not only helped increase strength and muscle mass, but also significantly reduced overall body fat levels and increased endurance far better than conventional weight training programs and aerobic exercises. The skepticism of the early days is long gone with the recent slew of scientific studies that supported the principles that Kevin has been employing for his entire adult life making him today one of the leading hands on experts in the field of high intensity training! The research shows that not only do brief high intensity workouts work- but that you get better results in less time with short high intensity training sessions as compared to conventional training.

Some of our clients have lost well over 100 lbs from the 10 minute workouts in conjunction with our customized dietary guides and they do so without any starvation or extreme type diets or the use of any form of supplements. Our system is a natural one that will help you lose weight and keep it off by radically changing your body composition and your relationship towards food in a balanced and healthy way! See our success story gallery here and Read Our Article On High Intensity Workouts & Weight Loss

How much weight can I expect to lose on your program?

Some of our clients have lost well over 100 lbs training only three times a week with our Naturally Intense High Intensity Training 10 Minute Workouts and the system has been proven time and time again as one of the safest and most efficient weight loss programs today. It is also important to note that this system helps you build muscle while losing fat and since muscle is denser and heavier than fat the scale doesn’t always tell the story of how much your body changes. That being said, our goal is to make you look trim, toned and sculpted and we are not satisfied until you look the way you should. The mirror thus is a more important tool than the scale as you can lose weight and still not look the way you would like to look. Also the onus is on ensuring that when you do lose weight you can keep it off as it becomes part of a healthier lifestyle. If weight loss is your goal you can get started by downloading Kevin’s free weight loss ebook here!

Our clients range from individuals in their 60’s to some in their late teens. The major strong point of our Naturally Intense High Intensity Training 10 Minute Workouts™ is that it works for EVERYONE!

Do I have to do anything extra on my days off if I am only training 3 days a week?

Not at all. No other exercise is required for you to see results although most people tend to find themselves involved in more healthy activities with the increase in energy that they see from our short high intensity workouts and from adhering to the recommendations in their personalized dietary guides! Our system works around the idea of balance and efficiency. So after you have done your three ten minute workouts for the week you need not do anything else but enjoy your life! You will lose weight, increase your endurance, get stronger and build a lean and toned body all while you rest!

No aerobics? How can I get into shape without running or cardio?

Repetitive aerobic type activities such as running or aerobic machines and high impact classes are not recommended and can actually hamper your weight loss! You can learn more about the drawbacks to such types of aerobic exercise here in our article database. Studies have also shown that you can build more endurance with a short high intensity workout than you could doing an aerobic type activity for long periods several times a week. You can read a report on 10 Minute High Intensity Workouts and Endurance here

Our 10 minute workouts 3 times a week are all you will need to lose weight, build muscle, get stronger tone and sculpt your body as well as increase your endurance.  We do encourage you, however to use your new found energy to pursue physical activities that you enjoy, so if you like running, you can run, but in moderation and out of enjoyment, not for fat burning purposes.

Does your program include dietary instruction?

Proper diet is a key component to the success of any exercise program whether your goals are peak performance or weight loss. Thus all of our training packages include a custom dietary guide designed to fit into your lifestyle and to help you get the most results from your training sessions.

Can I do the Naturally Intense™ High Intensity Training™ on my own?

Our Naturally Intense™ High Intensity Training™ are designed to work in conjunction with a fully qualified Naturally Intense™ Certified Personal Trainer to monitor you and direct your workouts. Our certification process alone can take anywhere from 2 to 5 years to master the system and without proper supervision and assistance most of the methods employed could be potentially dangerous and will not yield optimal results, as such we do not offer self training courses. You can make major changes to your body and health within a few months of training with us and learn valuable lessons that you can take with you for your entire life, but you will need a Naturally Intense™ Certified personal trainer in order to follow the system fully.

I already belong to a gym, do I have to pay for another gym membership to train with Naturally Intense™?

It is our philosophy that you should not have to pay for a gym membership and personal training and so we pay for all associated training fees.

How long has the Naturally Intense System™ been in place?

Our founder, Kevin Richardson started using the principles himself and with his personal training clients in 1991, and has been doing so continuously for the past 20 years, helping literally hundreds lose weight, improve their health and get into fantastic shape and change their lives with his innovative Naturally Intense High Intensity 10 Minute Workouts™.

I have already tried everything and failed with so many diets! How will my eating habits change on this program?

The first thing we do is make a thorough evaluation of your current state, your goals, eating habits and lifestyle and begin the process of creating a customized eating plan that fits into your life and your schedule.  Diet is responsible for 70-80% of your results and what is great about our System is that it works to change your body in such a profound way that you naturally find yourself gravitating towards the foods that you should be eating as opposed to the foods that are not inherently good for your body. Even if you have tried and failed in the past to adhere to a regiment of better eating, this system will help you maintain the lifestyle changes required for your success. Taken from our founder’s background in Eastern medicinal practices, acupuncture and traditional martial arts, the idea is to change the body and have the mind follow. By creating a leaner, and more muscled physique as well as demanding peak performance during the workouts, the body is forced to ingest foods that will help you maintain your progress and we have had tremendous long term success with people that have very hard times sticking to their diet. With our approach willpower is not an issue- we change the body and the mind follows.
