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.

12 Days Gift: Fat Burn In 30 – 5 Week Fat Loss Program

Fat Burn In 30 – 2010 Kick Start program is not going to be for everyone. It’s going to be hard work, so if that puts you off you’d better stay away. However, if you are a busy individual and are looking for fat burning workouts and strategies to help you workout in just 30 minutes a day (6 days a week, I’ll give you one day off!) then jump on in and grab a copy of my program, you won’t regret it!

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.

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.

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.

The Kettlebell is fast becoming one of the most popular training equipment in the fitness and entertainment industry because of its versatility. Ironically, I first heard about them while I was reading Reader’s Digest (yes, I read them…haha) in an article interviewing Katherine Hiegl (who is hot by the way). Hiegl was asked what she does to stay in shape and she mentioned that she works out with kettlebells twice a week for 20 minutes. I remember going, “are you serious?”

So, the curious creature that I am, I Googled the word “Kettlebell” and I landed on the
Dragon Door Publications web site. Back then, there were only a handful of retailers selling kettlebells and sometimes their sales people did not even know what the heck I was talking about. To make the long story short, I bought two Kettlebells one is 8 kg. and the other one is 16 kg. I also bought an instructional DVD entitled, “From Russia with Tough Love,” by Tsatsouline. I know, it sounds corny but it really is tough love.

Beginners usually start with 8 kg (~ 18 lbs) for women and 16 kg (~ 36 lbs) for men. This is a good guideline to follow because even if you’ve been lifting for awhile, Kettlebell workouts can be tough. Unlike traditional strength training or weight lifting, KBs can give you a full body workout because you are incorporating several muscle groups in one exercise. Some examples of these exercises are the KB swings and the Overhead Presses. Side note: If you look at (insert URL) my video from the third Turbulence Training challenge, I was doing both exercises somewhere in the middle of the video. Some other excercises that are reserved for more advanced KB users are jerks, snatches and the Turkish get up which I haven’t even done yet.

Here are some great benefits of KBs and KB workouts:

• Builds strength and endurance which can be great for sports training or just doing everyday activities like lifting heavy objects, etc.
• Builds core strength due to the use of your stabilizer muscles
• The KBs compact size makes it easy to travel with. It’s like a mini-gym in a ball.
• They can be a fun, cheaper, and more effective alternative to boring cardio
• You can look cool (or weird) doing some exercises because no knows what the heck you’re doing (that is, if you work out in a public place)
• KBs can double as a lethal weapon…j/k but be careful with them if you have pets or kids…haha

So, now that you’ve had your introduction to the kettlebell, I’d like to leave you with my “light” day workout. It’s not necessarily light because I sweat profusely after this workout but it is a quicker workout than my regular ones. Here it is:

Warm-up: 50 repetitions (reps) with 8 kg KB swings

Workout circuit:

30 reps with 8 kg KB swings
20 reps with 16 kg KB swing
10 Burpees
3 Eccentric Chin-ups (lowering part only for 7 seconds each time)
I took a 1 minute rest and repeated the circuit 3 more times.

This workout usually lasts for about 20 minutes but boy those are 20 minutes of hard work! The good thing about this workout is I always have fun doing them. It never gets old because there are many other KB exercises to choose from which are just as tough, if not tougher. I can almost feel the fat melt off of me when I do these!

All this flashy stuff about optimal fat burning zones, cardio wave programming, metabolically activating exercises, super slow repetition theory and muscle fiber recruitment is ALL just noise!

Personal trainers love to dazzle you with their advanced training knowledge, but it is ALL JUST MARKETING.

But you knew that already, didn’t you!

No disrespect to the other contributors to the 12 days of fitness event, some of their stuff is brilliant in every way. Some of these guys have an incredible depth of knowledge on the subject of health and fitness that even I get a little giddy standing on the edge of the pool of resources at their finger tips.

But all this counts for nought if YOU, the general public, just wanna know what exercises to do, when to do them and for how long.

“Spare me the science lesson I just wanna workout!”

There is a place for arming you with some background information on the way that you decide to train, but as I have discovered with my clients, bombarding them with too much information up front often leads to a rapidly diminishing chance they’ll understand or apply what I am trying to explain to them!

So here’s the deal, I’ll leave the science to the “boffins” out there, and I’ll just send you some great workouts you can pick up immediately and start using them. All you have to promise me is you’ll actually do the workouts and a little later on I will probably give you a little background on why they are so damn effective.

DEAL?

OK, here is what I need you to do… it’s real simple.

Enter JUST YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS below and early in the new year, probably around the 4th January, I’ll send you JUST the damn Fat loss Workouts!

1. You must understand the basics of dieting.

This isn’t hard. Everyone goes crazy and tells you about how you can’t eat this or eat that but in reality, you can consume any food you want. You only gain weight when you eat too much of any nutrient. Your food intake depends on how much you’ve exercised that day. You’ll never go wrong with lean proteins, healthy fats, good carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables.

2. Understand when to eat what.

The best time of the day to eat carbohydrates is immediately post workout and with breakfast. Since your body is deprived of carbohydrates either because of exercise or training, you’ll need to replenish right away. These are the best times of day to eat the treats you want and they’ll go into your muscle and not fat stores.

3. Leverage the power of food.

Food like omega-3 fish oil can actually help your body to burn fat. Blueberries are a fantastic food for fighting stomach fat. There’s multiple foods that actually turn on different fat burning processes in the body.

Thanks for checking out the How She Lost 100lbs gift from Storm Force Fitness!

I’m Jon Le Tocq and when Allison (the lady on the book cover) came to my personal training studio in Nottingham, neither of had any idea what an amazing transformation she was about to experience!

With just one personal training session, up to four other short workouts each week, and closely following the Metabolic Accelerator Nutrition program, Allison soon started shedding 3, 4 or 5 lbs of body fat every single week.

I then set her a challenge after Dax Moy asked me to offer a gift to you in the 12 Days of Fitness giveaway!

Could she lose 100lbs by the time I had to have this gift ready?

Rather than just write a quick program and give you some nutrition advice, I wanted to bring you something which will inspire you to finally get to grips with exactly what it takes to lose body fat quickly, but safely and consistently.

This is not the story of some fitness model who gives you no hope whatsoever.

What you will get is a blow-by-blow account of the last 6 months in which Allison became an entirely new woman and changed her life!

- Every single workout Allison did in dropping 100lbs of body fat

- The Metabolic Accelerator Nutrition System Allison used including the Shopping List.

- The weekly diary that Allison sent me detailing everything she ate and drank.

- All the ups and downs as described by Allison herself.

- The compliments, the battles, the supportive friends, the horrible comments – everything to prove this was by far from easy but that ANYONE can do it.

- How I conducted Allison’s consultation to set such strong goals that she could not fail!

This isn’t about a little “2lbs per week” fat loss effort or a model who can exercise for 15 hours each week

How She Lost 100lbs is the no holds barred story of…..how she lost 100lbs!

I have wondered this many times over and cannot for the life of me understand why people do the same gym workout routines over and over again and expect to get different results.

Life doesn’t work like that. And neither should your gym workout routine if you ever want to get the optimum fat loss results that you are capable of.

There are a number of reasons for the lack of results, some including a lack of intensity with peoples training – you know who I’m talking about, those people who train with their make up on and go straight to the office after their session without needing a shower through to there being absolutely no value in the exercises that some people waste their precious time doing.

Unfortunately, gyms have made a fortune over the years on ineffective machines that do not even half the work that a regular dumbbell or kettlebell can do.

Sure, they may look big, flashy and expensive but they have no value when it comes to training for fat loss and therefore should have no place in your gym workout routine.

This is bad news for the gyms that get you sucked in with their fancy equipment, but really, don’t you think that you would have got results by now if that machine was actually any good?

Getting results in a gym involves being smart. It involves working multiple muscles at a time, in as little time as possible.

The benefit of this type of training, rather than isolating muscles like when you use those fancy machines, is that a number of your muscles get a workout at once.

Some exercises even work virtually every single muscle in your body so you’d be crazy not to take this approach to your next gym workout routine.

That, my friends, is surely a win-win for everyone. You get your results and you get out of the gym in record time!
