I was just reviewing a big file of all the new exercise, diet, and research proven fat burning tips I wrote down for 2009, and I wanted to share 5 BIGGIES that can help your clients get more results AND make your awesome workers even better..

So here we go:

#4 – Recent research shows shuttle-running is tougher than running intervals in a straight line……so if you want to burn fat faster than ever, make sure you incorporate old-school shuttle runs (i.e. classic suicide type
drills) into your fat burning interval programs.

#3 – Use a food log.

“According to Men’s Health (Feb 2009, p 38), keeping a food log helped subjects lose 3.5 more pounds than subjects that didn’t keep the log.” These logs are one of the most effective ways to keep track of food you consume.

#2 – Do your very best to achieve a personal best in each workout.

There are a few reasons (below) you need to do this:

a) First of all, everyone loves progress, and if you can achieve a personal record in each workout (i.e. could be # of pushups, planktime, etc.), then you will feel a HUGE sense of accomplishment.

b) More personal bests = more results. Plain and simple.  If you see or feel yourself getting better, it’s easier to continue.

c) You will get addicted to the workouts, and always want to come back for more attempts at breaking records.

#1 – Get a personal trainer or join a bootcamp

It’s like joining a mastermind group (done in professional circles to find the best way to do something).  It’s always easier to motivate when someone’s really pushing you.

I really like bodyweight workouts.

Why????

Because you can get an amazing workout almost anywhere (home, office, hotel room, etc) from ONLY bodyweight exercises…these workouts can be done anytime & anywhere.  If you’re busy like me, then you’ll really like the following Bodyweight Exercises.

Following is an excellent workout from our friend and frequent contributor, fitness expert, Craig Ballantyne. Craig developed his world-famous Turbulence Training workout secrets to help you lose belly fat without equipment.

Anyways……..let’s try out his workout, I’m sure it get you into a sweat.

Warm-up Circuit – 2 rounds – Spend 15 seconds on each exercise.
1) Jumping Jacks
2) Bodyweight Squat
3) Pushups
4) Mountain Climbers – for variety, try doing these with your hands propped up and alternate doing push-ups as well
5) Prisoner Forward Lunges
6) Stickups

Strength Superset
1A) Pushups for 30 seconds
1B) Toughest single leg exercise for 30 seconds per side
- Rest 1 minute before repeating this superset

Water break – 2 minutes

1) Prisoner Squat
2) Pushup Plank
3) 1-leg hip extension

Guess What???  If you want to get fit or lose some weight, the time to change is now.

The time to finally take action on your health and fitness, to lose fat, to boost your energy, and to dramatically increase your confidence is right now – this very second – today.

So you’re probably asking what should you do?

First, I think a great idea is to get started in the Turbulence Training Transformation Contest.

One of the reason is that not only is there is no cost to enter, but you really don’t have anything to lose.

Think about it: A 12 week transformation is only 0.3% of your life. If you focus on learning about your body for 12 weeks it will allow you to be lean forever.

The TT Transformation is the 0.3% solution you’ve been looking for.

Second, stick to the basics.

Sure it’s easy to get caught up in the latest “weight loss craze”, but it is essential for you to never stray too far from the basics.

- Keep and review your food journal regularly.
- Use a proven, structured workout program that gets you maximum results in minimum time – you don’t even need a gym membership.
- Surround yourself with social support at home, work, and online.

These are the 3 most important factors in your fat loss success.

Third, I want you to put a little urgency into your fat loss program.

IMAGINE: What if you had to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks or you lost your job, could you do it?

Imagine you had to go to jail if you skipped your workout to sit on the couch instead – would you make that workout?

You just need to find compelling motivation to stick to your plan, so spend some time in reflection on that – and find YOUR REASON.

Remember…

Nobody gets old by surprise.

Nobody.

No one is in a “perfect environment” to transform their body. We all have stress and time limits. That’s why you need a proven plan.

So those are the 3 main things you must change today.

If you’re looking for the best fat loss program to help you transform your body in the comfort of your own home, I have amazing news for you.
