"The 3 Requirements of Fat Loss"

"The 3 Requirements of Fat Loss".

Requirement #1) Use Combo/Resistance training

Now this doesn't mean lifting heavy weights...it could also
mean doing difficult bodyweight exercises or even explosive exercises:

Example exercises would be, Burpees, Jump Squats, Spiderman Pushups

These exercises use more muscle groups in turn requiring more calorie expenditure…

Requirement #2) Switch from slow boring cardio to Dynamic Interval Training.

Research shows that interval training is more effective for burning
belly fat.

Interval training builds "everyday fitness" that is more practical in life.

For example, how often are you going to run a marathon? I’m guessing close to never!

But how many times do you need to climb a few flights of stairs or chase
around after one of your kids? I have a 4 year old son and believe me when I tell you that if it wasn't for my training I wouldn't be able to keep up after him.

This type of everyday activity will be easier for you if you incorporate interval training into your routine.

Requirement #3) Get away from the old school training.

If you do 2 exercises back to back that are for completely different body parts, you'll avoid
muscle fatigue and get more work done in less time.

Include total body workouts into this style of training, and incorporate many different styles of training into your routine.

This helps to avoid hitting the plateau with weight loss and also helps with muscle confusion so that they continue to grow!

Also change your workout routine at least every 4-6 weeks to keep things fresh, if you do this you’ll be more likely to stick with it for the long haul as opposed to hitting that 6 week January 1st curse that I talked about the other day……

If you want to burn more calories and add lean muscle, follow these steps for Fat Loss Success.

Until Next Time
