Fat Burning Mistakes — How To Choose The Proper Weight
2007-06-08 18:36:00 I hear a lot of people asking about “toning” and how much weight they should use… Therefore, I’ve included a small portion of The Fat Loss Black Book to help explain it… based on the 1st Law Of Thermo Here you go. (start excerpt) The key to burning the most calories through weight training AND triggering the highest “afterburn” potential revolves around the amount of WORK (the scientific definition) you do. In the bodybuilding realm, they like to call it volume. So you want proof, huh? No problem: The First Law of Thermodynamics This law states that the change in the total energy of a system is equal to the change in the amount of work done by the system minus the amount of heat generated by the system: dE=dW-dQ • dE = change in total energy of a system • dW = change in work done by the system • dQ = change in heat generated by the system (Now, for you physics or engineering types, I realize that this equation is generally a part...

Are Plyometrics Necessary For Fat Loss?
2007-06-07 22:14:00 Here’s another cross training video. One thing to note, you don’t have to necessarily be able to do the plyometrics in order to do any type of aggressive training… in fact, I’ve seen research that says that power lifting type exercises will do more for your vertical leap and your metabolism than box jumps. I’d probably stay away from them until your fitness level is a little higher… but even then… I don’t think the effort is really worth it considering the overall effects that we are looking for. However, if you’ll notice, the entire workout is BANG, BANG, BANG… one thing after another. Remember, take some of these ideas and use them in your workouts… More About: Loss , Metric
The Low Body Fat Secret Of Bodybuilders And Fitness Models
2007-06-06 21:51:00 Guest article from Tom Venuto, author of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle Check out my official Burn The Fat review… —————&mdash ;——– The secret to getting super lean – I’m talking about being RIPPED, not just “average body fat” – is all about mastering the art of “peaking.” Most people do not have a clue about what it takes to reach the type of low body fat levels that reveal to see ripped six-pack abs, muscle striations, vascularity and extreme muscular definition, so they go about it completely the wrong way. Here’s a case in point: One of my newsletter subscribers recently sent me this question: “Tom, on your Burn The Fat website, you wrote: ‘Who better to model than bodybuilders and fitness competitors?

Free Bodyweight Workout — What’s Better Than Cardio?

Both interval training and bodyweight circuit training are great alternatives for weight loss and fat burning. Plus, with bodyweight exercises, you can sculpt your lower and upper body, and your abs! Thousands of men and women are giving up slow, boring cardio training and making the switch to bodyweight circuits to help them lose fat and get lean. You too can take a break from normal cardio and intervals, and replace this portion of your training with the appropriate intensity bodyweight circuits. Or you can combine cardio and bodyweight exercises together within the same workout. If you’re looking to replace your cardio with bodyweight circuits, I generally recommend starting with easy bodywei... More About: Workout , Free , Cardio , Bett , Eight
When Less Is More
2007-06-06 16:33:00 More times than I’d like to admit… I’ll see people working out in the gym for 2-3 hours at a time. Is this necessarily a bad thing? Not really. BUT… I know that these same people aren’t eating nowhere near the number of calories that they need to support this type of activity. Naturally, this can also trigger the metabolism eating muscular breakdown that we all dread in the fat loss game. Remember, when you have any type of huge caloric deficit, your body is going to react similarly… ie… it starts to go into starvation mode. Which, of course, is counterproductive to what we are trying to do. The name of the game is to MAXIMIZE your metabolism… not minimize it. Try not to get into the more is better mindset UNLESS you are prepared to compensate in the recovery area. In other words, you’ll need to eat more so that your body can actually repair itself for the next session. On the other hand, working out for an extreme amou... More About: Less
