How to fix your slow metabolism (not what you think)

 If you think that all you have to do in order to lose fat is to burn more calories than you consume...

 

... sorry, you're wrong.

 

Think about it - if it were that easy, wouldn't we all be walking around with six-pack abs and without the thousands of books on diet and exercise?

 

And no, you don't have to work out more to burn more fat, that's a lie too. Although on paper, that seems the most obvious thing to do.

 

In fact, it's why we end up even more frustrated... we work out longer and still... NOTHING.

 

This is especially true as we age... But because of how our hormones work as we get older, working out longer can actually cause you to STORE more fat.

 

The "bad guy" hormone is cortisol, a hormone that actually PROMOTES fat storage AND muscle breakdown. And longer workouts create more of this hormone in your body. Now if you're 19 and shredded, you probably don't have a problem with cortisol. But for most of us, those days are gone, and so our workouts need to change.

 

So if you're not seeing the results in the mirror, it's not your fault. You simply just need to "shift" your hormones into fat burn mode with shorter workouts. But it's not as simple as just cutting your workouts short.

 

To maximize your fat burning and muscle sparing hormones like growth hormone, you'll need a combination of strength training and "just enough" high intensity interval training (HIIT). Too much of HIIT can have a negative effect, too.  

 

But when you use the perfect combination of these two approaches, you can actually fix your "slow" metabolism, which is holding you back from finally taking that stubborn layer of fat off. These simple shifts in your workouts can easily double your results.

On that page, you'll also see Shawna Kaminski, who uses these EXACT tricks to have flat, ripped abs and can knock out 25 pull-ups straight.

 

By the way, Shawna is 51 years old and smoking hot!

 

You'll also discover her brand new systematic approach to shift your hormones with science-based 20-minute workouts with the PERFECT blend of high intensity interval training and strength training that promotes fast fat loss and NOT cortisol like other programs. It's all a part of her new Challenge Fat Loss program.

 

And right now, it's HALF off!.

 

In addition to all of her FOLLOW-ALONG Challenge Fat Loss workout videos, she's also giving you the ultimate 48-hour Challenge Diet. You'll discover exactly what to eat every day to burn the most fat ever in just 14 days.

 

Here's the best part... you can eat whatever you want on certain days with NO guilt.

 

But there's a catch...

 

... her 48-Hour Challenge Diet is only available TODAY when you pick up her Challenge Fat Loss Workouts. Shawna wanted to give the serious action-takers something special on day one of her official launch.

#1 fat burning workout in South Florida

Happy Monday Everyone

This may be the most awesome things I've stumbled upon to help my clients burn more fat and get into shape faster.

But before I get into that, let me just assure everyone that changes in time won't affect our workout schedule, so if you are coming to the park tonight, we have worked out in the rain, with wind, with sun...a little bitty thing like it being drk won't stop us

Now let me explain...

I've been testing out a new training program for my clients that not only burns more calories while they're working out with me - but it keeps burning extra calories even after their workout.

Sounds crazy, right?

The post workout calorie burn is actually called "after burn" and it only takes place when a few critical factors are accomplished during the workout.

I won't bore you with the details of the science behind "after burn", but what I can tell you is that if these few critical things are done during your workout, then you can expect to have an elevated metabolism for up to 18 hours AFTER your workout.

Pretty sweet!

Now, just the "after burn" factor is amazing in itself because it's almost like getting twice the workout results from each workout.

B-U-T I figured out a way where I can get my clients even FASTER results... and it has NOTHING to do with science.

Say what?!

Yep, this other way of burning more fat and getting faster muscle toning results has nothing to do with exercise science at all.

It's actually all about human psychology...

See, what I figured out was when I train my client in a group setting they actually workout harder.

(human nature is to compete I guess)

So then I got to thinking and decided that if I can put together a body transformation challenge where I can train my clients in a group, for a period of time (six weeks), and give the person with the best transformation a prize (like one a kindle fire) then you'd really see amazing results!

Makes sense, right?

My special "after burn" producing workouts + a body transformation challenge = massive fat loss, body toning, belly flattening, and sexy arms, legs and butt.

Brilliant!

In fact here's what I expect AVERAGE results to be on this six week body transformation challenge.

Men can expect to drop 25 – 32 pounds of fat Women can expect to drop 12-24 pounds of fat

AND...

on average men can expect to lose: 6.5 inches from their waist and women can expect to lose 4.8 inches from their waist

Yes, all this in six weeks.

Here's the deal: I'm going to launching this Six Week Body Transformation Challenge in about a week (11/11/13) as soon as I get back from my Fire walking experience. And when I do I'm only going to take on 18 participants so that I can give every participant lots of attention.

And at the end of the six week transformation challenge (which will be right before Christmas) I'm giving the winner a new Kindle Fire HD 

(actually everyone will win since there's going to be a LOT of inches and pounds lost).

So if you are interested in dropping 5-8 inches off your waist in the next 6 weeks (plus a pile of weight) then send me an email and I will put you on the "action taker" list and reserve your spot.

These action takers will get email notification of the program launch date BEFORE my normal list.

Email me now to get on the awesomeness priority list :)

Get Ready for some AWESOMENESS!

Fitness Is More Than a New Year Resolution

One of the most common new year resolutions is to get in shape. You've probably heard countless friends and family talk about how they're going to join a gym or start a new weight loss routine for the new year.

 

But fitness is too important to just leave it to a new year resolution. It is important to have a year-round fitness routine which adapts to the changing needs of your body and lifestyle. Starting a fitness routine now is the best way to set yourself on the right path. It's not just about making promises to yourself that come the new year things will change, it's about getting actual results from a properly planned routine of exercise.

 

It can be all too easy to put off starting a fat loss plan and it takes real willpower to make that change today. There can be many excuses that pop into your mind about why you can't start changing your body and losing weight immediately. But your health is too important to leave to chance. The quicker you start a well-planned fitness routine, the sooner you'll see real results. These results will spur you on to push harder, eat better, and increase the amount of effort you're putting into your weight loss routine.

 

"Many people have tried different ways to get in shape, and one of the most effective is a fitness bootcamp" says Rafael Moret, the owner of Rated "R" Fitness bootcamp. This kind of environment provides not only the right equipment to help your fitness routine, but also the motivation, encouragement, and fun. Instead of a solitary exercise routine in a corner of the gym, you can be training with properly qualified bootcamp fitness instructors on a purpose-built facility with other people who share the same goals as you.

 

You can push your body a lot harder when a professional is setting your targets, because you'll be safe in the knowledge that they're not only medically sound for you to take part in, but also realistic for your fitness level. After starting training, you will find you lose fat and increase muscle tissue. And this increase in muscle tissue means your body will burn more calories when you're resting, making it easier to keep fat off your body.

 

It's possible to burn far more calories in one bootcamp session than in a standard low-intensity gym workout. You benefit from seeing the results faster, which will improve your motivation and determination to stay in shape. Bootcamp workouts have been shown to lower stress and help people enjoy their lives.

 

It will come at a much lower cost than a personal trainer, so there's no worrying about the cost of getting involved and starting right now. It's a surprisingly low-cost way of getting fit. When scheduling bootcamp sessions, they can fit around your work commitments. It is the fastest way to get in shape and see some serious fat loss. Many people have tried a lot of different ideas from fad diets to low-intensity gym sessions before trying the bootcamp approach. But it's this type of exercise that has sen them lose weight and increase the strength of their heart.

It's a good idea to speak with a bootcamp instructor about your fitness history and future goals so your targets and activities can be set appropriately. Instead of just making a new year's resolution you should start a bootcamp routine today!

How to Get Shredded with Finishers

Hey South Florida Boot Campers

I have a guest post for you today

How to Get Shredded with Finishers
Mike Whitfield, CTT
Author, 3-Minute Bodyweight Finishers


We've all been there... PANIC mode. You panic
because of one of two things:

1. You need to drop fat fast
2. You have hit a plateau

There's a method you need to implement

IMMEDIATELY, and that's using metabolic resistance

training COMBINED with metabolic finishers.

As a matter of fact, I've created

ZERO equipment workouts <=

using these two powerful fat-burning methods.

AND... these two methods combined are even
more efficient and powerful than long, boring cardio
and even intervals.

But let me warn you, they are challenging.

I throw everything in these programs, including
metabolic resistance training supersets AND circuits,
metabolic conditioning circuits and of course, metabolic
finishers, which will torch even the most stubborn fat.

You'll love the 3-minute BODYWEIGHT finishers
that you can tag onto ANY workout to burn more fat
in less time and basically smack a plateau in the face,
including the gauntlet style.

The Gauntlet  style finishers are the brutal method of
choosing one exercise as  the "gauntlet"... like this one:

Single Leg Burpees (5/side)
Goblet Switch Lunge (10/side)
Single Leg Burpees (5/side)
Decline Close-Grip Pushups (15)
Single Leg Burpees (5/side)

And that one is not even in ANY of the manuals.
If you listen carefully, you actually HEAR the fat
burning... or it's bacon.

Either way, it's an awesome way to end your workout
without ANY cardio or intervals.

So, to use this powerful method, you need the
"Bodyweight Torch" MRT workout and then follow it
with the finisher that is in the manual, OR ...

... you can create your OWN grand finale using any

of the 3-minute Bodyweight Metabolic Finishers in the
bonus manual.

And don't worry, if you're a fan of interval training,
you can attempt any of the Cardio Addiction Finishers
(yet another bonus manual). That's the crazy, yet effective
method of combining metabolic finishers AND intervals
like:

"The Metabolic Ride"
"Bulgarian Cardio"
"Lunge and Lungs 2.0"

That's how you'll let go of the PANIC button. Use a
combination of metabolic resistance training, metabolic
conditioning circuits and metabolic finishers...

... all with ZERO equipment.

Why Can't I Lose Weight

Hey South Florida Bootcampers

I have a Good one for you today:

If you can't lose weight, there are specific reasons for this that you have more control over than you think.

You're not strength training. Often, people who can't lose weight don't do any strength training. The more lean, sleek muscle you have, the faster your resting metabolism, because muscle is the body's most metabolically active tissue.

You're not exercising in a waythat forces the body to adapt. The adaptive response requires energy; it raises your body's energy needs. The body will then dig into stored fat for this energy.
If you've been strength training and the weight hasn't been coming off, it's because you're not doing much more than merely going through the motions.
There's the story of a heavy-set woman who was doing lat pull-downs with 70 pounds. A trainer waltzed over, knelt beside her, said "Hi" with a smile, then moved the machine's pin to the 100 pound mark.
The woman's mouth fell open, but the trainer said, "You're going to do 100 pounds for your next set, and eight times."
"I can't do 100 pounds!"
"Oh yes you can. Trust me. You're going to complete eight reps."
The woman said her goal was to lose weight, but nothing was happening despite regular workouts. She began pulling down the bar, and it wasn't easy. She had to fight her way to the eighth rep, but she completed eight full repetitions.
The trainer said, "Now that's the way every set should feel. Apply this effort level to all of your sets for every exercise. You won't lose weight if you keep doing something your body is efficient at. You must do something that forces you to struggle. Struggling begets weight loss."
A month later the woman reported having dropped an entire dress size.
Moral of this true story: Exercises that require struggling will burn fat and cause weight loss, especially when coupled with sensible eating.

You eat mindlessly. Every little sample and nugget counts. One tablespoon of gravy is 100 calories. A "little bit here and there" adds up. Avoid eating due to cues not related to sustenance, such as watching TV.
You drink diet sodas. Artificial sweeteners often trigger hunger.
Too many processed foods. These trigger hunger, and too much white sugar and high fructose corn syrup will get stored as fat.
You skip breakfast. Breakfast, even if it's only a cup of yogurt, tends to tame later-day appetite. Skipping it can make you feel entitled to overeat later on.
You don't do cardio. It's amazing how many people, who don't do cardio, wonder why they can't lose weight. Taking care of two preschoolers or pulling weeds does not replace structured cardiovascular exercise.

You hold onto the treadmill. This has got to be one of the most weight-loss-sabotaging habits out there. The body has absolutely no reason to burn more fat in response to make-believe walking.
Instead, pump the arms and get winded to force your body to adapt. Remember, the body won't adapt to something that it's very efficient at doing (e.g., walking while holding onto something for support).

You don't do HIIT: highintensity interval training. This form of cardio blasts fat.

Inconsistent exercise habits. Weight loss won't go hard and deep if your workouts are not consistent. Even if you're doing everything right in the gym, consistency is still very important.

Poor sleeping habits. Research shows that under six hours of sleep and over nine are strongly linked to excess body fat.

Too much daytime napping. Excessive inertia means a slowed metabolism to accommodate it.
Before you blame your parents and grandparents for having "the wrong genes," review your lifestyle habits to find out what can be modified to promote fat loss. For more details on changes you can make to boost weight loss, call us today.
