Note: The LungeMaster is no longer available, for those interested in some type of training aid to duplicate the benefits of lunging with assistance – consider the following:

1. 1)Use one or two wooden dowels (1.25”) depending on your experience. Make sure to have crutch tips on the bottom to avoid slipping and/or damage to the surface.
   

2. 2)Canes, chairs, tables or anything that will allow for you to have stability while you are lunging.

Freestyle Fat Burning

Women gain, store and lose far differently than men. To protect reproductive capabilities, women's bodies are reluctant to lose weight and very efficiently programmed to gain it. Because of these differences, a woman's program must put maximum attention on fat-burning and weight control. Fat loss and weight management is the primary goal of Freestyle.

In addition to a woman's tendency to gain weight, she also has a strong tendency to store it in the hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Therefore, Freestyle’s second purpose is to decrease the size of the lower body. This is accomplished, quite ironically, by applying the reverse of one of the most important rules of male weight training: never train the same body part on consecutive days.

In order to reduce the size of the hips, thighs and buttocks, Freestyle incorporates exercises for the lower body every training day and advocates a six day per week program for best results. Results come slower on three, four or five day per week schedules, but most people can accommodate a six day per week routine by doing two or three days at home.

Freestyle works to shrink the size of the lower body by "overtraining" the hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen within a safe range which inhibits muscular growth and encourages a decrease in size. This specific Freestyle zone is what makes the training program so effective at reducing the size of the lower body and waist, even in women with a genetic predisposition for the "Pear" shape.

Freestyle Body Part Splits

Another aspect that sets Freestyle apart from other training strategies is that it changes the conventional way people split their body parts for workouts. Most men train their chest, back, shoulders, biceps and triceps two to three times a week. They usually devote the same time to the lower body, creating a 5:1 ratio between the upper and lower body. Freestyle trains the back, shoulders and arms twice a week, while working the lower body six times a week. Because Freestyle addresses six areas of lower body training and works them up to six times a week. A Freestyle program, on a weekly basis, creates a 1:6 ratio between upper and lower body training... a radical departure from the way men train.

Freestyle Methods is the only exercise program developed specifically for women. There are two approaches to exercise. One involves rest days between body parts, training each body part with about the same frequency and intensity, and with primary emphasis on the upper body. This conventional program works well for men. The other type is Freestyle which decreases fat and reduces the size of the hips, thighs and buttocks by applying the following three major Freestyle training principles:

1. 1. High Frequency – the lower body is trained
   

up to six times per week in order to promote

a reduction in size.

2. 2. Lower Body Emphasis – more exercises are 
   

devoted to the lower body than the upper body.

3. Compound Exercise – Freestyle exercises work more than one muscle group at a time, to develop lean muscle tone, not bulky muscle.
