A Fat Loss Mystery Can You Solve It?

The Case Of The Missing Excess Body Fat

It was 3a.m. I was working late, when a call came into the office. Mrs Joan Saggy Butt was frantic "you have to help me" she screamed into the phone. After getting her to calm down she explained what happened. Her body fat was missing. It was a call that I didn't want to get.

Once Mrs. Saggy Butt calmed down some she explained someone has stolen her excess body fat. I've been dreading this call. Until lately here in Excess Body Fat, USA we pride ourselves on our saggy arm fat, big butts and thunder thighs. But we have started getting calls like this at an alarming rate. And I know what the answer is the terror we have tried to keep out of our town.

He who shall not be named

As Mrs. Saggy Butt talked I was pretty much oblivious to her words instead chosing to fixate on my half eaten jelly donut. Then regaining my concentration I heard Mrs. Saggy Butt say it was unreal how fast "he who shall not be named works". She rambled on about in 20 minutes her love handles disappeared, her saggy arm fat was shrinking "and my Butt" is so firm you can bounce a quarter on it. I thought she's bats.

It was now as plain as the rolls of fat around my stomach. Mrs. Saggy Butt was taken in by the Dark Side. It is a growing culture all over the country that was now hitting here in my home town. But I wondered how can these people be taken in by this. The benefits of having excess body fat are so plentiful.

Isn't having excess body fat a beautiful site not to mention being incredibly sexy? And Heart disease oh wow what having that body fat does for putting added pressure on your heart. well I'm sure your well aware of all the benefits. So what the heck are these people thinking?

It is becoming very disturbing these lean, trim athletic looking physiques starting to creep into my town. But what can I do? He who shall not be named has been very elusive. So I asked Mrs. Saggy Butt to explain what happened she was still pretty panicky at this point not believing the dramatic changes to not only her body but her health.

What I got out of her ramblings was that "he who shall not be named" came into her home 3 times a week for she thinks only 20 minute intervals and in what seems like no time at all her body was completely changing. She was experiencing high energy levels, low body fat, her thighs weren't rubbing together anymore and her butt wasn't dragging on the ground. This was frightening.

The Dark Side is here and it's real. People losing their excess body fat, getting healthier, having a firm butt, slender thighs and tight abs and all in 20 minute intervals 3 times a week. How do I fight such EVIL!!

After hanging up the with Mrs. Saggy Butt I returned to my jelly donut to contemplate my next move. Someone needed to stop this mass loss of excess body fat , the move to a (ugh I can't say it) healthier life style. But for now My couch was calling me and another box of donuts was just delivered.

As I looked at my new box of donuts (trying to decide which to have first bavarian cream or glazed) I thought about why anyone would invade my peaceful, slow moving town to steal body fat and why would anyone here be taken in by "He Who Is Not Named" and want to live (it really makes me ill to say it) a healthier lifestyle.

Well I can think about it tomorrow. I have donuts to eat and TV to watch.

A Fat Loss Mystery

Train With Intervals: Interval Training For Weight Loss and Fitness

Interval Training Killed The Cardio Workout

Thankfully we have a better way for fat burning than spending hours on a treadmill. RIP old cardio. Welcome Interval Training.

Stop doing the slow boring cardio workouts for fat burning and switch to shorter, more effective interval training for fat burning and weight loss. This will help you get more fat burning results in less workout time.

Research proves that interval training is better than cardio workouts for fat burning, weight loss and fitness.

* But what is Interval Training? *

Interval training is when you do a period of hard work followed by a period of easy work. Although I do prefer weight training, bodyweight exercises or kettlebells for interval training, you can also use the treadmill to do interval training/ fat burning workouts.

A good time to do your interval training is immediately after your strength training session. That way you only have 3 full training days per week.

Interval training can also be done on your off days of strength training.

After you've finished your strength training workout, you'll move into the interval training workout. Start by warming up for 5 minutes at a progressive pace and then you are going to go 45 seconds at a hard 8.5-9/10 intensity level, followed by 90 seconds at an easy 3/10 intensity level.

For another interval training workout, you'll again start with your 5-minute warm-up, but instead of 45 seconds, you will do 60 seconds of hard work followed by 90 seconds of recovery. This time your hard interval training will not be as difficult at it was in the first fat burning workout I described, but still at a pretty good pace that allows you to do 60 seconds of hard work.

As a side note, you always want to be able to finish your interval training and fat burning workout. If you can't, then you need to bring the intensity down.

When you come down to your recovery interval, it should always be at the same intensity, and always be very easy. So, no matter which interval training/ fat burning workout you are going to be doing, you will always come back to the same easy level intensity for your recovery period. Again, you are going to repeat the intervals in the workout up to six times and then finish off with a cool down.

Interval Training better results for fat burning, lean muscle and fitness. Let's see shorter workouts better results? Sounds pretty much like a no brainer.

Why a Turbulence Training Kettlebell Training Workout?

I got this question a lot last week, 53 times to be exact, but folks want to know...

"Why are you putting together a Turbulence Training and Kettlebell training workout program?"

And the answer is simple.

I just didn't like what was out there for my Turbulence Training members.

Every program seemed to be competing about how "hard-core" it couldbe...but I don't care how hard it is, I just want it to work and be appropriate for TT readers.

So all those other guys bragging about how their program will make"you sick" and "so sore you'll want to go to the hospital" can keep their programs.

Instead, I decided to certify the first Turbulence Trainer, Chris Lopez, and I went to him for Kettlebell Workouts because I know he has been using them for years with his clients.

So today, I want you to meet Chris Lopez, creator of the TurbulenceTraining Kettlebell Workout Revolution.

How Busy Women Loses Excess Body Fat Fast

How Busy Women Loses Excess Body Fat Fast


The answer to the question of "How Does A Busy Women Loses Excess Body Fat?" is...

1 - Stop thinking doing hundreds of crunches and other ab specific exercises just doing ab specific exercises are not going to create enough of a metabolic response in your body for you to lose belly fat.

So what are the best types of exercises and workouts are for losing belly fat in order to get six pack abs. The problem is that most people who need to lose belly fat looking to try to uncover their abs are searching for some "miracle six pack ab workout that is going to slash the fat off their abs in no time.

The thing is... they are going about the problem entirely the wrong way! The truth is that you don't lose excess body fat by doing ab workouts.

The problem is that focusing most of your time and effort on abdominal exercises and abs workouts to try to flatten your stomach, lose belly fat and bring out 6-pack abs is simply wasting your time from doing the correct workout programs that will acutally reduce your belly fat and total body fat for good.

If I were to choose an answer as to what the best exercises are for losing body fat, my answer would include total body exercises such as the following:

2 - Various forms of squats, lunges, deadlifts, clean & presses, snatches, swings, presses and pulls, mountain climbers, sprinting, etc.

These types of total body conditioning exercises would encompass a much higher percentage of the workouts I would design instead of abs exercises directly targeting the midsection. The way you combine those full body exercises into a strategic workout that maximizes your metabolism is also very important.

Don't get me wrong... I do recommend a certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and core, but these are only a small fraction of the programs I design for my clients as your time is better spent focusing on the total body conditioning exercises that stimulate the greatest hormonal and metabolic changes within the body. In addition, a side-effect of working out using mostly total body conditioning multi-joint exercises are that you indirectly work your entire midsection even though you are not specifically targeting the abs.

Keep in mind that the most important factor for losing belly fat to get that six pack abs look is actually in your healthy eating and nutrition plan. No matter how hard you workout, if your diet is full of junk, then your abdominals will be covered with ugly fat. Nutrition is without a doubt the "king of getting a six pack".

So let's clear this up for good...

Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on situps, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly worthless "ab contraptions" in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity total body conditioning lifts using combination multi-joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts.

Couple that with a healthy diet full of natural unprocessed whole foods as close to their natural state as possible, and those elusive six-pack abdominals will yours in no time!

Check out below for more of my key strategies for getting flat sexy 6-pack abs for life.

If you once and for all are ready to get rid of that excess body fat and keep it off you should start using interval training. So how does interval training work? interval training means taking an exercise as an example jumping rope after a good warm-up jump as fast as you can for say 1 minute then jup at half speed for 1 minute and repeat. What you do with interval training is vary your intensity levels. This is an example of one type of interval training in which your exercise intensity levels switch back and forth from slow to fast.

You can add interval training to many exercise routines like swimming, running, biking, elliptical, to name just a few. Whatever exercise you use can be interval training as long as you rotate the intensity levels from slow to intense. To make it interval training effective you have to make sure that when you are doing the high level intensity part of the training that you are really pushing yourself to the limit.

You know the lean muscle, trim, toned body you have dreamed about. Firm Butt, tight abs, slender thighs and more energy than you thought possible.

So if someone tries to tell you that the long marathon cardio workouts will get rid of that excess body fat tell them you have found a better way. Once you give interval training a try 3 workouts a week at 20 minutes a workout is all it takes.

Let's check this out hour long (at least) on a treadmill or jogging or in an aerobics class 5-6 times a week or 20 minutes 3 times a week doing Interval training? I could be wrong (but I'm not) seems to be a no brainer to me.
