Ok, ok, this sounds like another fad or myth in the fitness industry, I know.
But in reality the 3:2 method is actually one of the best ways to achieve a stronger, leaner, healthier body. I don't deal in myths or the newest trend, so trust me when I say, this concept works.

What is the 3:2 method? Simply put, it's three days of strength training per week and two days of cardio, per week. Five sessions a week for a strong, lean, healthy body. Strong muscles, strong heart, lower body fat (diet depending), and great asthetics.
I can hear people saying, "Pff, I can't do five sessions a week, I'm too busy".
These sessions can be as little as 30 minutes each for good results. If you cannot spare two and a half hours per week, out of 168 hours, frankly, you can't complain about how your body looks or feels. You would need to set up the sessions correctly - e.g circuit format, super sets, or tri-sets - for quickfire sessions to be effective, but it can be done.
If you're a beginner and need help, get in touch and I can send you over some workouts. You might not even need any equipment. Or if you're in Sotogrande or Marbella, try some personal training sessions.
Let's say you exercise currently (gym, home, running, cycling) but aren't seeing the results you want. The chances are you're not doing enough strength work. Most people don't. By doing cardio alone, you're not strenghteing your muscles sufficiently to create that 'toned' effect.
By adding 3 x strength sessions (think squats, lunges, pushes and pulls) and 2 x cardio sessions (think quick walking, running, cycling, X-Trainer), you are giving yourself a better chance of big results. Your heart will thank you, also, as cardio training strengthens it.
Give it a go. Any questions, get in touch!
