Sadly, very few people know that the typical low-intensity long-duration cardio isn’t the best or most efficient way to burn body fat, boost your metabolism and get ripped six pack abs.

They are still hopping on the treadmill and fast walking for an hour at a time, six of seven days a week.

The best fat burning cardio you can do involves cranking up the intensity and doing high intensity interval training.

There is a limitless number of ways to perform interval training and the great thing is you can do a lot of it without very little or no equipment at all.

You perform interval training by doing repeated high intensity bouts (intervals) alternated with an active rest period and you do this for x number of sets. Read the rest of this entry »

Whenever I am extremely busy, need to drop body fat fast and rip up, or just need a break from the heavy weights, I use this type of fat burning workout.

It’s also great for those of you that love home workouts. You can do a lot of routines like this with no equipment, or minimal equipment, such as a chin up bar or some dumbbells.

A scientific study, led by Jason Talanian (Journal Applied Physiology, 102: 1439-1447, 2007), showed some impressive findings on high intensity interval training when it comes to burning belly fat.

Subjects that completed seven high intensity interval training workouts over a two week period were able to increase aerobic capacity by 13 percent, boost fat burning capacity by 36 percent and increased key aerobic enzymes by nearly 25 percent. Read the rest of this entry »

By admin |

Ever wonder what Barbie does to stay in such great shape? You’re about to find out. Okay, I didn’t really land a fitness interview with Barbie, but I did get to interview my friend Meghan, and that’s close enough.

Read on as Meg shares some great fitness tips that can help you burn fat, feel great and get in the best shape of your life.

Q: What inspired or motivated you to pursue fitness and get in shape?

I’ve always played sports….basketball, volleyball, softball, etc.

I played for the love of the sport, however as I grew up and stopped playing team sports, I realized how much I loved being active! Feeling fit is the best feeling!

Q: People who have a lot of weight to lose really struggle with motivation. All they can think about is losing 30, 50, 70 pounds or more and how long it’s going to take and they want all the results TODAY!

You mentioned you have the same struggles as far as motivation.

What, in your experience, has helped you and what advice can you give to our readers to help them focus on smaller goals and stick to their plan with getting frustrated and quitting?

A: I think most everyone struggles with lack of motivation from time to time.

New Fat Burning Fitness Tips Revealed

By admin |

I recently had a chance to interview my friend Monika, who completely changed her life style, dropped about 30 pounds of fat and is getting ready to enter her first fitness competition.

Q: What inspired or motivated you to pursue fitness the way you have?

I have always been very active and into fitness, but the more I worked out, the more I ate junk because I felt that if I worked out, I could eat whatever I wanted.

Well, 30 extra pounds later I realized that this is not going to get me anywhere. I felt tired all the time, I was unhappy, had constant backaches.

I decided to go see one of my friend’s compete in a bodybuilding show, and I got totally addicted.

Seeing so many beautiful, fit, happy people, gave me a whole different outlook on fitness. It motivated me and made me realize that I could do it too.

Q: How long did it take you to get to where you are now, and what would you say to our readers who are already tired and frustrated and just want to finally “get in shape”?

The whole process took me almost 2 years. I worked out frequently, but I was not losing weight because my diet was not good.

I realized that all the work that I put in the gym was useless if I was not eating properly. The first few months were like a trial and error, I would eat clean for a week, and then crash my diet over the next week, and kept telling myself that I will start fresh on Monday.

As I began changing the way I ate, my body started changing too.

At the beginning, it takes a lot of hard work, motivation and commitment, but then it just becomes part of your life.

I actually love eating clean, I feel better and I have more energy. Do not get frustrated if it takes you a while to drop a few pounds of body fat.

Keep in mind your ultimate goal and imagine the way your body will look when you finally get there. Read the rest of this entry »

A Cardio Workout You Can Use to Burn Fat Faster

By admin |

My cardio workout today was short but tough. If you’ve been reading this blog or are subscribed to my fitness newsletter you know I’m a big believer in high intensity interval training.

HIIT is a great way to burn fat faster and do it in less time.

With hitt, no one can use the excuse that they don’t have the time to workout.

To prove it, here’s an example of today’s cardio workout that I did at home without any exercise equipment.

I first warmed up by doing a few minutes of easy body weight squats and jumping jacks.

Then I jumped right into my cardio workout as follows:

• Jumping Jacks
• Plank
• Mountain Climbers
• Side Hops (hop side to side over a dumbbell - you can use anything to jump over)
• Sprint in Place (I hold my hands out and make sure me knees touch them each time)
• Body Weight Squats
• Burpee
• Stationary Reverse Lunge

Are Acai Berry Weight Loss Reviews for Real?

By admin |

If you have a pulse you’ve seen ads for the amazing weight loss properties of acai berry juice.

Now, fitness professionals get a bad rap sometimes.

And, let’s face it, with some of the advice you see out there in the gyms and magazines, sometimes that bad rap is well deserved.

Sadly, there are way too many trainers that have no idea what they are talking about and don’t care all that much about their clients progress.

And there can be a bit of a narcissistic streak in the fitness industry as well and we get criticized for being more into appearances and looking healthy than actually being healthy.

But guess what?

A lot of great fitness pros have tried to market their business by educating people about all the health benefits that come along with a proper fitness and nutrition program. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently had the chance to interview Karen Pang, Ms. Bikini Universe 1st Runner Up (Short Class) and she has some awesome fitness tips to share with you that she’s using to go after her pro card in 2009.

Q: Karen, what inspired or motivated you to pursue fitness the way you have?

Karen Pang: When I was about 8 years old, my older brother was into bodybuilding.

I used to always read his muscle magazines and was in admiration of both the male & female physiques in there.

Throughout grade school and high school, I was never into team sports or very active for that matter.

During college I was determined to stave off the “Freshmen 15″ so I joined a gym.

It wasn’t until 3 years ago I had I even heard about competing in Fitness and Figure competitions.

With encouragement and support of competitors, I decided to compete. I haven’t looked back since! What motivates me now is striving to improve with each and every show.

Q: People who have a lot of weight to lose really struggle with motivation. All they can think about is losing 30, 50, 70 pounds or more and how long it’s going to take and they want all the results TODAY, even thought it took a long time to put the weight on.

You don’t seem to have any trouble at all with the mental part of getting in great shape.

How to Get Sexy Six Pack Abs Without Ab Exercises

By admin |

Too many people focus on lots of ab exercises and doing hundreds of reps of ab crunches in order to develop six pack abs.

But endless ab exercises such as crunches and leg lifts are not the key to getting sexy six pack abs.

If you train and eat properly, you can lean out and develop a flat belly without any ab exercises at all.

Of course, you should do them to develop the abdominal muscles and protect your lower back from injury but you don’t absolutely need them to get yourself a set of sexy abs.

A low body fat percentage is the biggest key to a flat sexy stomach.

One of the big drawbacks of traditional ab exercises like crunches is that you hardly burn any calories while performing the exercise.

If you want six pack abs you need to burn fat faster. If you want to burn fat, you need to burn calories.

Burning calories is a key component of losing fat and getting ripped abs. Read the rest of this entry »

By admin |

With the best butt exercises and proper nutrition any woman can develop a beautiful butt.

Gorgeous glutes on a woman are just sexy. And if a woman’s butt is in shape, chances are so is the rest of her.

Ladies, if you want to look fantastic in that new pair of jeans or that sexy little dress, you need to work your glutes and get a tight butt.

Here’s how.

There is a lot more to gorgeous glutes than eating like a bird or doing endless hours of silly aerobics.

In fact, that’s probably the worst thing you can do for your butt (and the rest of your body as well).

First, you have to lose the fat.

You also need to develop the glutes so you can round that booty into a shape that turns men’s heads.

The butt muscles are extremely strong, one if the strongest muscles in the body.

So doing silly butt squeeezes and kicking your leg back and into the air like a dog about to do his business is not going to get you the sexy butt you want. Read the rest of this entry »
