Trick Your Body Into Burning More Fat

The key to burning more fat is giving your metabolism a boost.

Giving your metabolism a nice spike can help you drop that last 10 pounds of fat, and keep it off.

But how do you do this?

First, you’ll need to make your cardio workouts more intense than you’re probably used to.

Those workouts where you’re walking on a treadmill at 3.5 mph for 60 minutes while watching Oprah need to be replaced by high intensity interval training.

The good news - your new cardio training sessions will burn fat for up to 24-48 hours after your workout ends AND they will only take you 15-20 minutes to do.

Second, you need to add strength training to your program.

But not just any type of strength training.

I find that the most effective type of strength training to burn body fat is metabolic conditioning - training where you are building lean muscle and getting your heart rate up.

Think of doing several strength training exercises in a circuit fashion - taking little rest between exercises.

For example, doing push ups, squats, pull ups, and lunges all in a row with minimal rest.

Not only will you build lean sexy muscle, which will give your metabolism a permanent boost, but, similar to your interval training, your body will burn calories for up to 24-48 hours after your workout is over.

Have an amazing day.

Erase Fat in 4-Minutes Flat

By now you know how effective 4-minute workouts can be.

I used them quite a bit in my own abs transformation recently and have gotten good results using them with clients.

I sent you an email a few hours ago about a new invention from my friend, Ryan Lee, that allows you to make your own 4-minute workouts.

You can generate thousands of these fat burning workouts on your own using his new BodyBot program.

A few things I like about this new software:

1) Variety - you can generate an endless amount of 4-minute workouts so you can continually have fun and challenge your body and get amazing results.

2) No gym needed, no equipment needed - These workouts can be done at home, outside or anywhere at all. And many of the exercises require no equipment.

3) Music - I love listening to music while I exercise and this thing comes with its own workout music.

I’ve personally tried the BodyBot program and it rocks the house!

Now, one more thing before I let you go.

I feel so strongly in the effectiveness of 4-minute workouts in getting the body you want, that I want to make an offer to you.

I recorded every call and had them transcribed.

I would like to give you the audio files and written transcripts of each call, just for trying out the software.

Your Missing Link to Getting Six-Pack Abs

Howdy,

There is a critical element that not too many people are talking about when it comes to getting the body of your dreams including a flat stomach or six-pack abs.

It has nothing to do with your workouts, your diet or even your mindset.

And yet it may be the most critical element of them all.

Anytime you’ve been successful in life, you’ve used this tool, whether it’s graduating from school, completing a project at work, or winning a game in an athletic competition.

And yet, so many people are not using it when trying to change their bodies, and I’m not sure why.

I brought in my great friend Scott Tousignant, author of The Fit Chic, to discuss this critical missing link.

I would love to hear your comments as this may be one of the most important calls I’ve done.

Ladies, have you started your Bikini Abs Makeover yet?

Make sure you pick up your copy of The Top 12 Foods to Strip Away Belly Fat and 3 online workout videos right now. Summer is here. : )

Have an amazing day.

What Do You Do When All Your Fat Loss Efforts Fail?

Have you ever gone through a period where you’re eating clean, you’re exercising consistently and you still can’t seem to lose the last few pounds of fat?

I’m sure this may be something you’ve experienced.

Well one of my members asked me and Jayson Hunter, author of The Carb Rotation Diet, to examine her diet and exercise program.

So we did and we talked about some changes she should make both in her diet and workouts that should give a real shock to her metabolism.

Here was her original question…

What do you do when you need to lose fat, but your RMR is under 1,000 calories? I am a petite, 40-year old female and when I plugged in the scientific formula, I got 958 calories per day. To lose a a pound a week, I multiply by 1. There is no way I can work out and get by on that few calories without feeling very weak…so what do I do? I maintain on about 1,500 - 1,600 and currently am at 25% body fat. I don’t seem to lose when I drop to 1,200, unless I can work out twice a day, which isn’t realistic. Help! Is there any way to get fat loss going without resorting to starvation, or 4 hours of exercise?

I asked her for more details on her diet and exercises (and her goals) and she came back with this info…

Goal: lose body fat, maybe 5%. (I’m 116lbs but squishy). I think I may have slowed my metabolism through years of undereating. Workouts: M-W one hour weight training class (total body, mix of barbells/free weights, mix of regular-paced sets and super-slow protocol) followed by 20 min. moderate cardio. Fri moderate cardio (heart rate 140ish), 50-60 minutes. Sat 35 min. light cardio before breakfast, 20 minutes HIIT late afternoon. Sun yoga one hour, 30 - 40 minutes moderate cardio. If time, moderate cardio Thurs one additional hour.

Diet is pretty clean M-F, tons of vegetables, lean proteins, egg substitutes, whole-grain, high-fiber products, fat-free dairy and very little sugar. Saturday and Sun I do have a meal out or a treat, a cookie or ice cream or something like that, but stay under 2,000 cals. Do I have to eliminate all treats completely to lose fat, even just one day a week? Would cutting my carbs help?

Upon further questioning, we found out that she is 5 feet 3 1/2 inches.

Listen in on the audio as Jayson and I give some great suggestions on how to overcome this and get that metabolism spike which will help her shed the last few pounds of fat.

If you have a question on your specific needs, just write them in the comments section and Jayson and I will help you.

Have an amazing day.

Scott

8-Minute Fat Burner

Howdy,

I’m about to leave to go to Colorado, but I wanted to show you an 8-minute fat burning workout.

We’re all on the go, but blasting fat doesn’t take as long as you might think.

This workout contains some explosive plyometric type movements, so they’re not for everyone.

But this workout both sculpts your muscles and raises your heart rate allowing you to burn even more calories.

Here is it.

Lateral shuffles x 60 sec
Explosive Step Push Ups x 60 sec
Lateral shuffles x 60 sec
Jumping Lunges x 60 sec
Lateral shuffles x 60 sec
Jumping Jacks x 60 sec
Lateral shuffles x 60 sec
Squat Thrusts x 60 sec

You can substitute regular push ups and lunges for the ones shown in the video.

Make sure you do a thorough warm up prior to this workout.

If you want an even shorter workout, check out these 4-Minute Workouts.

And if you need help with your diet, or are not getting the abs flat and sexy, check out The Carb Rotation Diet.

Have an amazing day.

One Couple’s Fat Loss Journey

Howdy,

I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott and Angie Tousignant last week about their fat loss journey.

They were gracious enough to share their personal story with me.

Scott and Angie are a married couple living in Canada with 2 kids, ages 6 and 4.

Scott is the author of The Fit Bastard and The Fit Chic and is a fitness expert that I’ve talked to many times.

But just like what happens to so many of us, Scott had recently gotten out of shape and was 35 pounds overweight.

Angie is a mom who has had 2 babies, her last one delivered by C-section.

They say you can’t get a flat stomach and six-pack abs after a C-section, right?

Wrong!! : )

Scott and Angie shared their story with me in a private interview.

I am happily sharing it with you.

They revealed the nutrition plan they were on, the importance of doing this as a team, the types of workouts they did, and one very important strategy they used to stay motivated during their entire transformation.

You can learn more about the workouts that they used in their fat loss journey.

Ladies should check out The Fit Chic and guys, check out The Fit Bastard

Enjoy their story.

Have an amazing day.

Scott

Womens Fitness

You may not know it, but besides doing teleseminars and videos, and posting on this blog, I also run a womens fitness bootcamp in Dallas, Texas. We always have a great group of women come out and get in a fun, intense workout. I have a blast teaching the class. The name of the bootcamp is called Her Strength.

Womens fitness is an important topic and more specifically I wanted to talk a little bit about strength training for women. I know there are still a lot of women that walk as their only means of exercise. While this is great that you are out there and moving, it’s not the best way to burn body fat and lose weight. One of the best things a woman (or a man) can do is to add strength training to your workouts. Strength training will help you build nice, sexy lean muscle, and boost your metabolism allowing you to burn fat calories all day long. You will feel strong, look great and be more confident. And you will decrease your risk of a number of ailments and diseases, osteoporosis being one of them.

So don’t forget, if you are not already doing so, you should be doing some sort of strength training as part of your workouts.

Check out some highlights of our womens fitness bootcamp in the video below. Some of the circuits we do in camp come from The Four Minute Workout DVDs. Hopefully the video will inspire you to get off your butt and just do it! : )

Oh and if you are in the Dallas area, check out our Her Strength Fitness Camp. These are a great group women and I am proud of the commitment that each one of them has shown in class.

Quick Workouts for Fat Loss

Quick workouts and interval training were the topics of episode #3 of The Great Fat Loss Debate with Scott Tousignant and Scott Colby. Can you increase the intensity of your workouts so that you can shorten your workouts to 10-15 minutes a day and still get great fat loss results? Well the research is saying yes you can, and in my own workouts I have gotten great fat loss results with short, intense workouts. In fact, I often will string together three of four of these four-minute interval circuits together from my Four Minute Workout DVDs for a quick, but very effective fat burning workout.

Should you ignore all long, traditional, low to moderate intensity workouts? Well this is up for debate. In fact, this is much of what Scott Tousignant and I debated in our podcast. Ultimately, whatever you enjoying doing for your exercise is what you will stick with and make you happy. That is most important.

Scott T and I would love for you to listen to us debate the topic of quick workouts for fat loss. Please listen the podcast below and then click on the link that says Comments so we can hear what you think.

We would love to get your opinion. So speak out! : )
