Is Fat Burning Exercise Possible In Just 30 minutes?
Posted by: | CommentsIs Fat Burning Exercise Possible In Just 30 minutes?
One of the biggest issues a lot of people experience today is how to lose fat fast. And which are the best exercises to burn fat.
Life is super fast paced for most people these days.
Ever forgotten your cell/mobile phone?
You know how lost you’ve felt by not being able to contact people immediately? Yet only 20 years ago nobody but the ‘Gordon Gekko’ crowd had them.
So without a doubt society has changed. It’s been known for years that we have been changing out lifestyle habits and progressively getting more and sedentary and less active. We now have the ability to fast forward through commercials on TV…the world has changed and so has our demand for everything ‘now’.
Unfortunately I haven’t invented a pill yet that can give you all the results you want, let alone instant results (either way I’d probably be the richest person on earth if I did come up with it…hmm!).
The old school way that most people adopt is to try running to lose weight. Unfortunately in the super fast paced world I just outlined, that’s not the most effective way of burn fat off.
So, what is the best fat burning exercise?
Well you have to challenge yourself. Staying within easy limits will lead to small improvements initially but you’ll soon stop changing….that’s the problem with say running to lose weight, especially if time is short and you can’t increase the time you workout for, first up it works but soon your body becomes more efficient and burns less fat….dull hey!
So with society moving quickly, and with most people lacking the time for 90 minute sessions every day. What is the answer?
Well it’s not the traditional fat loss method of running as mentioned above, but instead using the latest research from the past few decades and designing programs that utilise these scientific principles.
The science has taught us that you can get incredible results in very time efficient bouts of exercise as long as they are structured correctly. We’ve come to understand that if fat burning exercises and the fat burning processes can be manipulated in the right way, they can bring about amazing success very quickly.
Now let me just re state that. I ‘m not saying that someone who can only do a limited amount of exercise could get as fast results as someone who can dedicate 90 minutes a day to exercise, but the relative gains from the extra time don’t warrant it if you are time poor.
Recent studies have reported that just 20 minute sessions enabled the participants to burn fat off at 9X faster speeds when compared to people who had done 45 minutes (steady, no change of pace).
By using these types of methods you can get almost as fast results in just 30 minutes a day as you can in one and a half hours a day. The important thing is having a plan and consistently implementing that plan to burn fat off.
The plan needs to include a system that will challenge you, even if you do start really easily. The best exercises to burn fat are those which require a lot of muscle to be used.
With the correct program that is progressive and coupled with a health dietary plan, fat loss can definitely be achieved in as little as 30 minute sessions.

Get inspired for you interval training sessions
Posted by: | CommentsHow to make the most of your interval training sessions
Is your interval training optimized for your goals or are you wasting valuable time?
Many people just follow a simple treadmill routine and just go between slower and faster speeds or higher and lower inclinations. While that has its purpose – and is definitely more worth your time than just jogging at the same pace for hours – there may be an even better solution for you.
Interval training is not just doing sprints. Interval training relates to any activity of alternating higher and lower intensities in a set pattern.
As you may know, interval training is being accepted as a more efficient way to burn fat than long, slow steady-state cardio sessions that were once sworn by. Even though, the efficiency of interval training as a fat burner and as a metabolism booster has been proven, the myth of low intensity, hour-long “fat burning zone” workouts seems to be still living. Maybe it is just because it is the easiest!
But as opposed to interval training it is also very monotonous. Interval training can be both fun and effective and work more aspects at the same time. You can read all about that in the report: “How To Make The Most Of Your Interval Training Sessions.” If you would like to get started – or improve – on your interval training, you should definitely read this report.
“How To Make The Most Of Your Interval Training Sessions” will give you five simple tips on how to optimize your interval workouts. The intention is to inspire you to be more creative in your choice of interval activity and to help you save time and get the results you are looking for.

Is 15 Minutes REALLY Enough?.. for Fat Loss and a Sexier NAKED ME?
Posted by: | Comments15 Minutes can be Quick, but feel like a lifetime too!
Believe me I know. At my private studio, by the beaches of Marshfield, my clients want to sunbathe all summer long… some even into fall!
That means my job is to help them ENJOY the few precious summer months we have here in New England. My strategy… 15 minute workouts. I’ve been using them myself for a few years.
Don’t mistake me, I crush it in those 15 minutes. Some of my clients do too!
But like them, I’d rather spend my time using and appreciating my physique than working on it.
I want a life. I want my ice cream and pizza too. Heck I want my pint and my bar tab! Well, maybe not the whole tab 
Needless to say, when engaged in 15 minutes of fat loss, you can only imagine the pace and sweat that accompanies it. But you can also imagine the satisfaction of knowing you gave it your all so you can quickly head out of the gym or your living room and back into the real world of career, fun, socializing, errands and holidays.
Life doesn’t sit still, and neither should we I the gym.
Why do a set and sit around for 3 minutes?
Boring.
I don’t care about Jon and Kate whose cheated on who. Do you?
The only magazines in my private studio are the ones that produce results. No time for gossip, fad, trend or gimmick. It’s all business. When I train, it’s amped.
Same with your workouts.
You should be amped! Amped to start. Amped to be finished. Amped to feel accomplished.
If you’re someone who seems to be too busy or just losing time in the day, then 15 minute workouts may just be your saving grace. Remember, fat loss and a sexier naked you should be efficient, productive and time-saving! Not grueling, boring and dragging.

Formula for Fit and Well-Behaved Children
Posted by: | CommentsYou’ve probably heard the saying popularized by Stephan Covey that when you are climbing a ladder it’s important to know that it is leaning against the right wall. The “right wall” for our children includes physical health, well-being and values that will guide them to make good choices and decisions. Athletics has long been looked up to as a character-building experience. Many people will sacrifice time and money to give their children the advantages of being involved in sports.
My own six children have been intensely involved in gymnastics and basketball as well as having exposure to swim teams, soccer, baseball, and track. I know all too well the pressure these sports can put on families as they build their schedules, free time and even meal times and vacations around them. I also know the pride of seeing them reach goals and feel successful.
There are also families that are not active in sports but know that exercise has many health promoting benefits. If this describes your family you may be looking for guidance in how to be active together as a family. The staggering rise of childhood obesity alerts concerned parents to be proactive where their young children’s health is concerned. Anyone would shudder to learn that the Center for Disease Control now estimates that half of all children and adolescents in the United States will be clinically obese by 2010. As a certified personal trainer I’ve worked with countless families as well as individuals to prevent this tragedy and I’d like to share my expertise with your family as well.
Make physical fitness a routine part of every day. Walk as much as you can. A simple fifteen minutes of well-chosen body weight exercises can be learned by children as young as four years old. They will love it if you do the exercises with them. The best part is these same exercises will keep you fit and trim if you pair them with sensible eating habits. Choosing lean meats and fresh fruit and vegetables over packaged and processed foods will go a long way in preventing excess weight. Drinking water rather than soda is another smart choice. Little changes over time will add up and you’ll be on your way to ensuring that your children are healthy and fit.
A systematic plan for also teaching your children character qualities such as truthfulness, orderliness, obedience and kindness will also enhance their happiness and
self-esteem. In teachable moments simply explaining what these words mean will inspire your children to better behavior. One of the best times to do this is while the family is enjoying a walk or other fitness activity. Just a little thought about what you deem important for your children to know and a little effort to teach it each day will lead to children that everyone loves to be around, including you. Time well-spent now will reward you with years of problem free child rearing.

9 Powerful Secrets To Losing Bodyfat
Posted by: | CommentsResearch shows if you want to lose stomach fat, you MUST increase the intensity of your workout by using both weights & intervals. This is to burn more calories long AFTER the workout has finished.
When you exercise with intervals & weights, your body uses far more calories in the hours AFTER exercise than it would if you did traditional “cardio”. This will help you lose that stubborn bodyfat & gain more muscle in less time than if you were doing your boring “cardio” that you’ve always done.
