He also offers olympic lifting as an exercise option. Forget the visions of huge weightlifters, this lifting technique teaches you to use your body as a whole component to lift a heavier amount of than you normally would. Olympic lifting decreases the requirement for extra cardio because of the high number of calories burned during these workouts.
