A growing body of evidence and real-world results from our members and clients show that the benefits of our high-speed workouts extend far beyond our cardiovascular system and muscles – to our biochemistry and even our brain.
Here are 5 very powerful reasons to use Get Lean In 12 workouts to go fast on a regular basis.
1- GL12 workouts change your hormones.
Several key studies indicate that a series of 20 to 30 second sprints sharply increased HGH (human growth hormone) in the body while exercising – and also for roughly 2 hours AFTER a workout.
Once the Get Lean In 12 HGH is released, it will target body fat like a wood burning furnace.
How do you know if you’re going hard enough to produce fat-blasting HGH levels?
Here are some guidelines:
lack of oxygen and feeling out of breath (duh!)
muscle burn (lactic acid overload)
increase in body temp or breaking a serious sweat
you must “feel the pain” (also known as adrenal response).
We’ve seen many students and members lose up to 20 pounds in eight weeks using Get Lean In 12 intervals/sprints.
2- GL12 gets you fitter, faster.
Although Get Lean In 12 intervals are only part of a well-balanced fitness program and the results sometimes sound to good to be true…they are THE most important part of your regimen if you want quick results.
Researchers from 2 published journals found that GL12 sprinting for 20 to 30 seconds performed 3 times a week for 20 minutes or less produced the same results as 3 endurance (the slow boring stuff) cycling sessions, each of which lasted 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Yikes. Now that’s what we call a great R.O.I. (Return On Investment)
In other words, just one hour of Get Lean In 12 produced what would take up to 6 hours of the normal, boring, textbook, target heart rate cardio.
Also, after just 2 weeks, or six total GL12 workouts, subjects increased their endurance by 100% and they began using oxygen more efficiently to burn fuels.
This explains why sprinters are so lean and muscular. They automatically preserve muscle and burn more fat because of their training protocol.
Caution: the decision to go all out and push yourself to these limits should be cleared by your doctor first. It’s a process and a journey – NOT an event.
3- Adding GL12 intensity to your regimen will burn more calories-especially fat calories.
Although traditional, low-intensity, target heart rate exercise gets a lot of publicity…sprint – speed type workouts actually deliver better, overall fat-loss results.
Here’s why: although you can maintain lower intensity workouts for longer periods of time (1 hour or more) and it allows you to supposedly burn a greater percentage of fat calories (as opposed to carbs or stored glycogen)…minute for minute, the slow stuff burns substantially fewer total calories, therefore fewer fat calories as well.
All this indicates is that adding GL12 intervals to your fitness program also conditions your body to burn more fat during moderate-intensity exercise, as well.
In fact, subjects who engaged in these types of workouts increased the amount of fat they burned 36% more than those who engaged in moderate intensity exercise. It’s because GL12 workouts produce more mitochondria (you body’s cellular fat-burning powerhouse).
Lastly, GL12 activates more fast-twitch fibers, which is something that does NOT happen with the slow, boring cardio workouts.
4- Research shows GL12 workouts fuel your mind and might make you smarter.
Performing Get Lean In 12 workouts is the catalyst for your brain to produce more dopamine and serotonin. These are brain transmitters that reduce stress during exercise and other activities.
There is also some evidence suggesting that GL-12 can increase the amount of Catecholamine your brain produces. These are neurotransmitters found in the amino acid tyrosine which help the body stay sharp during prolonged periods of work, sleep deprivation, and other stressful situations….like life itself!
In other words, when you “Get Lean In 12” you won’t feel lethargic after lunch anymore. Is this the perfect synergy between the brain and the body? Quite possibly – yes.
5- GL12 will put a spring in your step.
Have you ever noticed how kids have non-stop energy, can go alllllll day long without stopping and the last thing they want to do is sleep? We always say, “I wish I still had energy like that, where do they get it?”
I’ll tell you where. Just watch em run around like they have the ‘need for speed’ in their everyday activities. Their bodies are loaded with hormones that your body could be suppressing from traditional, outdated, boring methods.
We all start to lose that drive by the time we hit our 20s and it just gets worse as we age.
Get Lean In 12 workouts 3 to 5 times a week will create new confidence and an appreciation for the spectacular engine that God had given us called our body.
Your body is supposed to have its engine revved up on weekly basis…so put a GL-12 spring in your step today.
Conclusion
So, if you have an interest in producing more fat-burning HGH (human growth hormone), cutting your exercise time in half, burning more fat calories while you go about your everyday activities, cultivating a sharper mind and more mental energy, and having the energy of a 5 year old…then what are you waiting for?
Get Lean In 12 today.
If you think you’ll get bored of the sprinting or you have limitations, just change it up.
You can use GL-12 bursts to do dozens of different exercises; mountain climbers, jump rope, standing jump-squats, squat thrusts, high-step sprints…you get the idea.
Don’t be afraid to change it up. Variety is a spice of life.

There are many other tricks that can potentially double and even triple the results of this information BUT, follow these steps consistently and you can program your metabolism to become a fat burning machine.
1. Thou Shall Lift Weights.
Sounds simple, but resistance training is the number one way to burn more fat and calories. It has a two fold effect. First, by producing more lean muscle tissue, your body will burn more calories at rest even while lying on the couch.
Second, research shows that when done correctly, a weight training workout (a personal trainer can show you an effective yet efficient weight training workout) can speed up your metabolism up to 12 hours longer than a “normal” cardiovascular session!
2. Thou Shall Be a Grazer Not a Binger.
You must eat five to six meals a day! People who eat only 1 to 3 meals a day are programming their bodies to be fat storing machines! By eating frequently, with smaller portions, you give your body a constant supply of nutrients throughout the day while managing your blood sugar.
Eating five to six meals a day is the easiest way to skyrocket your metabolism and energy levels to reprogram your body’s ability to metabolize calories and fat. There are dozens of studies and tons of research showing that eating five to six meals a day will possibly allow your body to burn more fat, have more energy and mental clarity, lower bad cholesterol, control your appetite, and manage your blood sugar.
Enough said. Eat five to six small meals a day, period!
3. Thou Shall Combine Lean Protein and Fibrous Carbs in Every Meal.
That’s right! Combining carbohydrates (the fibrous kind) with protein allows your body to be in a fat burning environment all day long.
As long as portion sizes are managed correctly, insulin levels will stay stable allowing your body to potentially use body fat as fuel.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, research shows that out of 50 million people who start on “diets” (such as low carb) each year, 47.5 million regain all or more of the weight they lost dieting.
Bottom line, for long term vitality, health, and energy, learn to balance your meals with protein and clean quality carbohydrates.
4. Thou Shall Detoxify Consistently & Drink an Adequate Amount of Water Everyday.
We brush our teeth and wash our hair everyday, why don’t we do the same for our cellular health?
Because we lack education and awareness of environmental toxins. Many of the toxins we eat, drink, and breath on a daily basis are invisible. Out of site, out of mind.
What many people don’t understand the power of detoxifying and removing heavy metals can have on their over all health. In fact, doctors now know that 85% or more of all disease and disease states are linked to toxins.
Detoxifying with a scientifically proven mineral can increase mental clarity, balance pH, strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, and potentially prevent many diseases or illnesses later in life.
Also, water works in synergy with detoxifying and plays a major role in our health. Many people overlook this simple yet essential component.
Water is responsible for the delivery and transport of all processes that take place in the body (fat burning, recovery, digestion, etc…). Without adequate water, our body’s ability to burn fat will come to a screeching halt.
Not only will healthy hydration possibly help your body burn more fat, it can also give you more energy, boost your immune system and provide a ton of other benefits. Make sure to drink 8 to 12 eight ounce glasses of water or more per day.
5. Thou Shall Eat More “Clean” Protein.
Eating more protein will curb your cravings for refined carbohydrates and in return you will have more energy and allow your body to reach its fat metabolizing potential.
Protein also provides the building blocks of muscle and provides our body with essential nutrients needed for hormones, enzymes, antibodies, and neurotransmitters.
Also, consuming more protein has a greater thermic effect allowing your body to consistently burn more calories.
In other words your body burns more calories digesting a chicken breast than it burns digesting carbohydrates or fat, so eat more “clean” protein.
6. Thou Shall Do Cardio First Thing After Waking Up.
Not only is this a great way to start your day, it will rev up your metabolism to be a fat burning furnace.
In fact, the right type of cardiovascular training (to learn an efficient yet effective progressive cardio routine, will not only burn 142% more calories than normal cardio, your metabolism may be increased for up to 48 hours after!
You could actually speed up your metabolism for a full two days after a cardio session if done correctly. And cut your workout time down significantly at the same time.
7. Thou Shall Avoid All “Dirty” Carbohydrates.
We have to avoid refined carbohydrates especially the white ones. The only way to live a healthy lifestyle is to eat balanced meals with clean fibrous carbohydrates, clean proteins, and small amounts of friendly fats.
Our bodies do continuously need carbohydrates for fuel for our brains, body, and muscles. However, if we continue to consume refined white or sugary carbs, we will program our bodies to store more fat, have less energy, and increase our risk of getting type II diabetes.
We must eat the right type of carbohydrates! By avoiding “dirty” carbs, as I like to call them, and eating “clean” carbs we will continuously have more energy and allow our bodies to readily access fat as fuel for the long term.
Seek guidance from a fitness expert who walks their talk in order to get information on reliable sources of nutrition.
8. Thou Shall Get More Rest and Consume Liquid Vitamins.
Working out and eating “clean” foods are only the stimuli for your goals. The results occur while you rest.
When you train hard and eat “clean” foods you put stress on your body that causes you to need more rest, and also deplete you of nutrients needed to recover.
Strong research also shows you body will absorb op to 98% of a liquid vitamin product while only absorbing up to 20% of vitamins in pill or capsule forms.
By getting enough sleep for recuperation and taking a scientifically proven liquid multi-vitamin with anti-oxidants to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients, you will allow your body to fill in the missing gap of the nutrition and fat loss equation.
9. Thou Shall Consume 30 Grams Of Fiber Daily and Avoid Starchy Carbs My Last 2 Meals Of The Day.
The key to having consistent energy and keeping your body in a fat burning environment is balancing your meals.
Early in the day, carbs are used for energy for the brain and body, but when you eat carbs later in the evening after your metabolism has slowed, you need less energy for daily activities such as your family, career, and workouts. Your body is less likely to use these unwanted carbohydrates and as a result you can possibly store them as ugly body fat.
Try avoiding carbs for your last 1 or 2 meals of the day and making it mostly “clean” protein with small amounts of vegetables and friendly fats.
10. Thou Shall Be Consistent Not Perfect.
Let’s face it. If you follow these steps consistently, you will burn more fat, A LOT MORE!
But, we are all human and we will fall off probably more than once a week. The key to achieving great results is knowing that when you do fall off, you get right back on track instead of giving up completely.
Giving yourself a “free day” or “dirty day” once a week is an awesome way to reward your hard work and stay on course throughout the week. This gives you something to focus on during the week and is also a fantastic “calorie shock” for your body.
I have found over the years that accountability with consistency, not perfection of the basics described here, will give your body the programming it needs to be in a fat burning environment “naturally” all day, every day!
Do you overlook these basics or think they are too difficult to actually follow?
I know the majority of these things are very basic and simple, but I think that is half the problem with getting results from our efforts is that we overcomplicate what is really very simple!
Currently, 75% of Americans are exercising. Yet, 65% of Americans are considered overweight. Well, if 75% of Americans are exercising and 65% are overweight, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out current exercise programs in this country are NOT working!
I know that the number one reason people don’t exercise is because they don’t have time and the second reason is because they don’t have accountability to see any results to keep them motivated. FT Ann Arbor takes the guess work out of both of these problems.
Remember; “Nothing tastes as good, as being in great shape feels!” & “Half of getting what you want out of life is understanding what you have to give up to get it!
