Want to look like this?

Hi again guys

Have linked you up to a YouTube clip below that I think is really inspirational. I comes from a kettlebell gym in America, but shows the types of workouts that you can expect to get at FitterFaster once I get up and running. Of course, I won't be expecting everyone to be doing these types of exercises from Day 1, but I will be expecting you to do them. Check out the fit looking bodies. Don't they look great. High intensity workouts make ordinary people like these, look extraordinary. Don't you want to look like them too?

A new body tomorrow??

When should you start your new weight loss or fitness program? Tomorrow, on Monday, at the start of the month or year? When the holidays start or finish? When I'm not so busy, when I move house. After the party, when I have more time.

Sound familiar? The very best time to begin is right now. Do something right now to begin the journey. Spend 20 minutes doing some exercise, cook something healthy for lunch or tea. Clean out the cupboards and get rid of all the junk food. Plan this week's healthy meals.

It doesn't matter where you start, as long as you do it now. Don't put it off till a better time. There never will be a better time. You must make the decision and just do it. You know it won't happen if you wait as there will always be another excuse.

If you miss a planned training session or eat some unhealthy food, don't let it deter you from your program. Just keep on going regardless. There will always be set backs. The key is to not let them be the end of it all. Fitness and health are a lifelong commitment. You must stay committed to your program for the long term.

New cardio workouts for fat loss and fast fitness improvements

I have just added some new cardio workouts to my website. All of these cardio workouts take 30 minutes or less including a warm up and cooldown and use cheap equipment such as skipping ropes. They wont be easy though. If they are, you are not trying hard enough. Remember it takes effort to look fit. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Be different. Show yourself you can do it.

There is no cost to get these workouts, so have a look. More cardio workouts

till next time, be strong, speaking of which, I will talk about the many many many benefits of including some sort of strength training in your program next time we catch up

exercise equipment for fat loss

I am often asked how much you need to spend to set up a good home gym. The quick answer is not much. Dont be fooled into thinking you need a fantastic treadmill or pin loaded weight machine. Unless you love running, or are training for an event where you need to run, a treadmill is unnecessary.

I once owned a great big pin loaded weight machine too. I hardly ever used it and ended up selling it for about $150 on Ebay. It was just a huge waste of space. Now I use adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls and most of all, my own bodyweight. There are such a huge number of things you can do with next to no equipment to absolutely burn the body fat quickly and leaner and stronger.

One thing I love to do is pick an exercise, such as a kettlebell snatch or swing or a dumbbell clean and press and do it for high repetitions. I might start with a set of 20 reps, then 19, then 18 etc etc. When I get down to 1 rep, I may go back up again, but usually, the first 20 sets are more than enough. And it doesnt take very long either. Take minimal or no rests if possible. You will be hard pressed to find a faster fat burner.

Choose a multijoint exercise for best effect. Bicep curls or crunches will not be effective for this type of workout. The choices are endless: Front squat, lunges, clean and press, swings, push press etc etc. And no huge equipment required. You will also elevate your metabolism for hours after a workout like this.

Cardio for fitness and fat loss

Hi again guys

Do you still think that you have to do slow fat burning cardio to lose fat? It's been proven time and time again you know that it is far more efficient to do high intensity cardio and also heaps more effective.

Improvements in fitness come rapidly with these types of workouts and they are the quickest way to lose stubborn body fat. Here is an example:

_______________________________________________________
Warm up with easy pedalling of stationary cycle, walking and jogging or easy exercises such as jogging on the spot, star jumps etc for 5 minutes to get the heart rate raised.

Now begin the main workout, you can use a bike, treadmill or cross trainer, or alternatively you can use a step and do step ups, a skipping rope (one of my favourites) running, star jumps or anything else that gets you huffing and puffing.

For 30 seconds go as hard as you can-THIS IS KEY-GO HARD
Take 30 seconds easy-dont stop, just walk on the spot, pedal slowly etc

Repeat the above 1 minute block for anywhere from 10-20 minutes

Cooldown with easy paced activity for 3-5 mins.
__________________________________________________

There you have it 20-30 minutes and you are done. You have burnt heaps of calories, and the higher burn rate will continue long after you have finished (unlike slow easy cardio.) 20 minutes of high efficiency fat burning. Do this 3-6 times per week and you will be noticing a huge difference very quickly.

that's all for now
