Women’s Dumbbell Workout for Fat Loss

⋅ Leave a Comment

Many women are told not to workout with weights. This is absolutely false. One of the biggest misconceptions is that women who lift weights will develop bulky, ugly muscle mass.

Trust me, it’s very tough to build lean muscle mass. It takes a combination of proper exercise, diet, and hormonal processes. The fact is that women just do not have the same amount of testosterone that men do to build the kind of bulky muscles that men have.

On top of that, women also have high levels of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen is a fat-storing hormone, which is why women often find it more difficult to lose weight then men.

However, weight training, done properly, can help women lose weight, and maintain it in the long term. Women will build lean muscle mass, however the muscle mass will help them increase their metabolic rate and shape their physique.

Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. Hence, the higher your metabolic rate, the more calories you will burn at rest. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, which means it requires more calories to maintain a pound of muscle than a pound of fat.

Weight training can also help shape your physique. Bodybuilders do this all the time. But women can learn some things from bodybuilders without having to worry about building huge muscles, as I mentioned earlier.

When bodybuilders want to bring up a particular body part, they engage in a specific program to target that muscle group and to improve it. This is why they perform split training routines.

Now, I’m actually an advocate of full body workouts. However, once you have developed a good base of fitness, it’s a good idea to spend some time training a particular muscle group just to improve upon it.

Developing a basic dumbbell workout is quite easy. What you want to do is choose 3-10 exercises that train your entire body and organize them into a routine using a variety of training methods.

For beginners, a simple straight set method is sufficient. A straight set refers to the act of simply performing an a set of an exercise, resting, then performing another set for the desired number of total sets.

More information on how to develop your own dumbbell workout can be found in Coach Lomax’s Gladiator Body Workout program. Click here to learn more about this program.

Mike Geary Six Pack Abs Nutrition Product

⋅ 2 Comments

Fat Burning Kitchen is a Nutrition eBook written by Mike Geary. Mike Geary wrote the world famous “Truth About Abs” eBook. Lets take a look at what people are saying about Mike Geary and his fitness programs:

Leith Carnie from Australia

“…I was running regularly and working out sometimes, but I was still getting fatter… Everything changed when I started your truth about abs program…”

Leith’s changes from using TruthAboutAbs at 7 months and 11 months

Hi,

I had been talking about this program for MONTHS, saying “I’ll get it next pay…next pay…next pay…”  Finally a friend of mine got sick of my procrastination and just bought it for me as a gift.

I began the program on the 5th of February (about a month after my Dec 25th pic).  Its now 18th July and Im still going strong. So I thought I would send in my results so far.

The Program is FREAKIN BRILLIANT!!!

Before I started your program, I was running regularly and working out sometimes, but I was still getting fatter…. and fatter. Ididn ‘t really notice it until my friend took a photo of me at the beach. I was horrified!!!! I knew I had to do something about it, but Icouldn’t move the fat.

Everything changed when I started your truth about abs program.  In the 6 months I’ve been on the program, I’ve lost 25.4 kg and gone from 30% body fat down to 11% body fat.

THANK YOU MIKE!!!!!!!
I have been sending friends photos of my progress and then the link to your site.

Leith Carnie, Australia

(Update on Leith’s results:  as seen in his 3rd pic above, Leith has dropped even more body fat in the last 4 months, and even has six pack abs now.  This just shows the changes you can make in your body if you apply the info in TruthAboutAbs. Great job Leith!)


Stephanie Hurst from Tulia, Texas

“…I went from a size 14 to a 5. Weight wise I was around 190 lbs when I started and now I am 120 lbs… It’s been a total lifestyle change…”


Stephanie before using Truth About Abs Stephanie after getting great results

Mike,

I attached a couple photos to show you how far I’ve come since starting your program…..it was quite shocking to see what I looked like just last year!!  I had forgotten how overweight I was, and looking at these before and after pics again almost made me cry…but tears of joy this time, as I’m so thankful for how much progress I’ve made.

Not only do I feel so healthy and vibrant, but I feel that I look younger now too! Its wonderful! I went from a size 14 to a 5. Weight wise I was around 190 lbs when I started and now I am 120 lbs. I’m so passionate about your book and style of nutrition…it’s absolutely amazing…I don’t crave unhealthy stuff anymore…I have eliminated an insane sweet tooth.

I happened upon your book about 9 months ago. Once I downloaded and printed your ebook, I read it once, and then again. There is so much information in there that expands beyond just working out and abs.  The nutritional information was fascinating, and I believe that was what helped me get to where I am today.  The workouts are also so challenging, and talk about breaking a sweat!  I love it.

I have SO MANY people ask me what diet I was doing to lose all that weight. They just don’t understand that I’m not on a diet… It’s been a total lifestyle change. I would recommend your book to anyone!  I feel exceptional, and I am in the best shape of my life!

I hope that my testimonial will help you out, as well as other people that have struggled to get in shape. Thank you so much!!

Stephanie Hurst
Tulia, Texas

“…When I started I was 190 lbs, waist 35 inches, bench was 165lbs. I’m now 175 lbs, with a waist of 33 inches, and benching 225lbs…”

Mike,

I have been following your workout plans from your book for past couple months.  I wanted you to know that I have seen great results.  When I started I was 190 lbs, waist 35 inches, bench was 165lbs.

I’m now 175 lbs, with a waist of 33 inches, and benching 225lbs.  Your full body workouts are some of the best I’ve ever used.  I’m also making much better food choices now based on your advice and staying away from the junk I used to have trouble with. Thanks for everything.

Why Mike’s Customers Know You Will Love The E-Book

“…I am down now to between 7-8% body fat (according to my Tanita scale), have lost a total of 3-4 inches in the waist…”


John before using TruthAboutAbs            John in recent pic (great job John!)

Hello Mike,
Thanks for your ebook Truth About Abs.  I used it in the first 5 months or so this year and had great results!  I attached pictures for you to see the progress I’ve made so far.

Anyway, I am down now to between 7-8% body fat (according to my Tanita scale), have lost a total of 3-4 inches in the waist, lost a total of about 24 lbs, and got my 6 pack abs! I do have a lot of people ask me about weight loss supplements, but I have started telling people to forget it and get your book instead.  Thanks,

John Howlett

“…I looked like “barrel boy” with no definition and a bonafide gut last year. I’m down from 24% bodyfat to 7.4% bodyfat currently! …”

Greg’s results from last year to this year

Mike, I don’t know if you actually monitor this email address, so if an assistant does, please forward this to Mike.

I owe you a lot of thanks Mike. Your program grabbed my attention last year when I was at an all-time (lifetime even) self esteem and physique low.

I’ve been on your program for almost exactly one year now and as you can see from my pics, I’ve completely changed my life. I didn’t do any of those typical holding the newspaper pics, but I did luckily save a couple pics for you.

These pics are from last year to this year. I just want you to know and see what you’ve done for me. Anyway, I looked like “barrel boy” with no definition and a bonafide gut last year.

I’m down from 24% bodyfat to 7.4% bodyfat currently!

I’m so glad I found your program. I’m extremely proud of myself and extremely grateful to you. This is going to sound cliche, but I’ve become the go-to guy around the office for fitness questions and I’ve inspired (not by talk but by action and lifestyle) people around me to quit being so damned disrespectful to their bodies.

This has been a total body (and mindset) transformation — and I haven’t even set foot in a gym. All done at home, with just some of the simple basics you recommended and my own motivation, intensity and dedication — and with NO slow cardio at all.

Lazy no more, and now lean for life,

-Greg S.


“…I did start applying your diet and food recommendations, and even with just that, I’ve already lost 6 lbs (10 lbs to go)…”

Dear Mike,

I thoroughly read your e-book a few weeks ago but have been too busy lately to get myself to the gym. However, I did start applying your diet and food recommendations, and even with just that, I’ve already lost 6 lbs (10 lbs to go).  I finally got to the gym this morning and printed out your e-book to bring with me.

I did some of the workout examples you specified like the one arm snatches, dumbbell swings, staggered lunges and all the ab exercises (from level 3).

Man, that was one of the best and most intense workouts I have had in ages!  I did not waste hours jogging or doing all that other stuff I used to do (which by the way never got me anywhere).  I am so excited to go back to the gym and have your book with me as a personal trainer’s guide.

Thank you so much!

Laura Kawasmi, Brownsville, TX


“…I like the variety and the shorter workouts, as apposed to the long boring workouts and repetitive isolating exercises I used to do…”

Hi Mike. I have just recently started your program and i LOVE it so much.  I just wanted to tell you how fantastic I think your approach and lay out to losing stomach fat is. I’m already feeling the effects of your workouts.  My body feels firmer and fitter and I look forward to the sweat.

Truth be told I was BORED TO TEARS with our usual routine at the gym. Not to mention it wasn’t really getting my stomach flat!!  I love your approach cause it explains everything, and I am a person that needs to know the reasons for why I am doing what I am doing! I like the variety and the shorter workouts, as apposed to the long boring workouts and repetitive isolating exercises I used to do.

Following your program I am certainly getting the heart pumping and the sweat is flowing like I’ve never felt before.  It feels great. Thanks, and I will keep you posted!

Michelle Smith, Ontario, Canada


“…I am well on my way to being in the best shape of my life at 39 years of age…”

Mike,

I have been on your program for the last three or four weeks. All I can say is WOW! I have been body building for well over 20 years and I can honestly say that you have allowed me to break out of what I call the classical mess of weight lifting.

I have made some great gains and I am well on my way to being in the best shape of my life at 39 years of age. I get a kick out of the Guys at the gym when they see me perform some of your exercises. They often come up and ask what I am doing.

I just tell them, as I struggle to regain my breath, “I’m just mixing it up a bit” and then watch them as they go back and waste their time with bicep curls for the next half hour.

Now I’m trying to get my wife onboard using your program as well. Thank you so much for doing what you do and keep the emails coming. This is the best $39 I have ever spent. Thanks,

Luis Acevedo, Dallas, Texas

“…After a few weeks on your workouts, i can now see lines on the side of my stomach and my abs appearing even more visibly…”

Hi Mike. Just wanted to let you know, your interval and weight training methods in your e-book are working perfect! Before i got your e-book, i could see my six pack abs a little bit. After a few weeks on your workouts, i can now see lines on the side of my stomach and my abs appearing even more visibly. I still have a little fat, but not much at all. Thanks!

Andreas Beirholm, Denmark


“…Yesterday a colleague of mine said, “you’re looking very toned, what are you doing?” I felt GREAT…”

Hi Mike, I’m a 52 year old woman who started your truth about abs program about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Yesterday a colleague of mine said, “you’re looking very toned, what are you doing?” I felt GREAT!! It’s working!!! Thanks Mike, I was one of those 1 & 1/2 hrtreadmillers and couldn’t understand (even though I look good) why I couldn’t get rid of those fat pockets! Now I understand. I will keep you abreast of my progress… Again, thank you,

Cynthia Ward, Locust Grove, Georgia


“…I started taking your advice recently and eventually lost those extra 10 pounds of fat I wanted to lose! …I am 38 years old and now have a 32 inch waist…”

Mike,
I wanted to thank you for all the advice and motivation you have shared with me in your book & newsletter.  I feel great!  The other day at a family gathering, my family and friends gave me so many compliments.  They told me I looked good and asked me what in the world I was doing to be in such great shape.

I have been working out for about two and a half years but I just couldn’t lose the last 10 pounds of body fat I wanted to lose.  I started taking your advice recently and eventually lost those extra 10 pounds of fat I wanted to lose!  I did it your way which to me is the smart way.

I am 38 years old and now have a 32 inch waist.  It took a lot of discipline but you helped me reach my goal! One of my cousins just looked at me and kept saying WOW! WOW! WOW!

Thanks so much!

Mike Castaneda


“…this program has given me new motivation and kickstarted my results. Thanks Mike!”

Dear Mike,

I just read your Truth About 6-Pack Abs and I think it has some great stuff in it that I never realized before.  I really couldn’t put the book down.  I enjoy the fact that you are not just telling readers what to do with a promise that results will be achieved, but explaining the reasons behind your strategy supported by research.

I have been exercising on my own my entire life, but I really hit a plateau during the last few years, and this program has given me new motivation andkickstarted my results. Thanks Mike!

Pete Maguire, Brookline, Mas.


“…A loss of 7 inches in 11 weeks! …”

Hi Mike

I was searching for a program to genuinely help me lose body fat and get a six pack.  I came across your website and the money back guarantee you offered suggested to me that you believed in what you were offering & not just interested in selling your e-book. Anyway, I made the purchase on the basis that I’d give it a try and if itwasn’t any good I’d ask for my money back.

Before I started with the program I weighed 80kg and my waist size was 42 inches.  After 11 weeks I still weigh about 80kg but my waist size is now 35 inches.  A loss of 7 inches in 11 weeks! Since my weight stayed about the same, that means I gained muscle while losing 7 inches of fat from my waist!

My strength and energy are also improving each week and I’m lifting heavier weights as I progress. Family and friends that haven’t seen me in weeks can’t believe how much leaner and slimmer I look now.

I’m really glad that I bought your e-book and stuck to the programs. I still have a little more body fat to lose, but I can already tell that a visible six pack is just a few more weeks away!

Thank you for all the advice and words of motivation. This entire experience is far more than what I was expecting for my money!

Regards,

Imtiaz Girach, UK


“…The belly I have been trying to battle is shrinking by the day…”

Mike:

Thank you for changing the way I workout. After years of fooling myself into thinking I was getting a good workout, your book, The Truth About Abs, has revitalized not only my workouts, but also my life. Working out regularly for over 10 years, I became increasingly frustrated at my lack of progress.

Despite doing over an hour of cardio at least three times a week and lifting three times a week as well, I wasn’t in good shape.  Also, despite my workout attempts, I was also getting what you have termed as the “skinny fat” appearance.

Seeing no outward or inward results, I sunk into such a rut I was ready to quit exercising. That was when a friend recommended yourebook .   After only a month-and-a-half of doing the routines diagrammed in your book, my physical appearance has improved dramatically. Not only that, but my endurance has increased to the point that I can handle a full hockey game and not get gassed. In fact, I get stronger as the game goes on. Just that alone was well worth the $40 I spent.

Following your diet tips has also given me more energy throughout the day. I no longer “crash” halfway through my work day and no longer crave the sugary foods I used to. The belly I have been trying to battle is shrinking by the day. After years of working out, I am only now finally getting compliments for how “toned and ripped” I appear.

Once again, thanks for giving me that boost I so needed in my workouts and for improving my quality of life.

-John Crawford, Collingswood, NJ


“…I’ve definitely been doing all of the wrong types of cardio and the wrong types of strength exercises…”

Mike, I’m truly excited after starting your program. After reading through all of your info, I can’t believe how many things I was wasting my time with or even just doing plain WRONG! I’ve definitely been doing all of the wrong types of cardio and the wrong types of strength exercises as well.

Thanks again for giving me this much-needed education into a very important topic… my health & well being (not to mention looking great also!)

-Sandra Torrez, San Antonio, Texas


“…I finally found something now that works to lose fat and flatten my stomach…”

Hey Mike

I just purchased your ebook about 2 weeks ago and I love it!  The workouts are great – better than any workout I’ve done before.  I’ve been that person who has tried all the fad diets, diet pills, and bought my fair share of infomercial ab machines!  At least I finally found something now that works to lose fat and flatten my stomach!

Thanks for your help,
Amy Brunetti, Chicopee, MA


“…I can already feel my pants starting to loosen …”

Hey Mike,

Just wanted to say thanks for making such a good book. Ive only been using it for about 2 weeks and I can already feel my pants starting to loosen and I have the confidence to go outside without feeling like I have to wear a sweatshirt to hide my gut. Thanks again for your work,

Jason K. C., North Dakota


“…and surprisingly, I can already see some positive changes to my body…”

“Hi Mike

I started your workouts last week, and surprisingly, I can already see some positive changes to my body! I definitely feel these working me better than anything else I’ve tried. I really like the interesting way that you turn a weights workout into a cardio workout as well. I can see already that if I keep on doing this progressively, I’ll surely have my old body shape back in no time :)

Ok catch you soon. Thanks again Mike, you’re superb!”

-Ellin Hazrin, Kingsford, Australia


“…i have to say i’ve never had such a good workout…”

Mike, you can use this for your testimonials if you want…

I have to say…You are a genious. Gave 1 of your workouts a go on friday and i have to say i’ve never had such a good workout. I’ve been going to the gym for years now and have been doing 40 solid minutes of quite high level cardio but using just 10 minutes of your style ofinverval training felt like it worked me so much better.

I also used to spend an hour on my abs when i worked out and never really felt it. After doing this workout on friday i really felt like i’d earned my protein shake! Plus I got my workout done much quicker than my old workouts…It’s quite incredible!

Super Busy? Do this Workout

When life gets busy, you naturally prioritize and focus your energy on things that are super important. For those that have a family, this often includes putting food on the table. If you’re a student, it’s going to be your education.

Not everyone will place fitness as their top priority. However, even though it is not your top priority, you understand the importance of exercise for energy levels and overall health.

So what do you do?

How do you workout if you’re super busy?

I posed this question to my twitter followers and received a great, simple answer:

 

Thanks Cody!

We often feel that we need to go to the gym and follow a complete program, working every single muscle from head to toe. This could be farther from the truth! You really don’t need much to start making some progress with your fitness.

In fact, you can get away with performing just ONE exercise for the time being – until you reorganize your life and finally have some breathing room to include a full exercise program.

The Pushup-Only Workout from HELL

Pushups are tough. They get your heart rate up, they make your chest work hard, and they tone your arms.

This workout is simple. First choose one of these 6 pushup variations. Then, set an interval timer with 30 seconds work, followed by 15 seconds rest. Start the timer, and perform 5 rounds of pushups.

This workout will take you less than 4 minutes. Get into the habit of performing it first thing in the morning, 3-4 days per week. You can even replicate this idea with pullups, kettlebell swings, squats, and burpees.

What are some of your go-to workouts for when you get super busy?

Workout Routine Without Weights for Fat Loss

The majority of people out there don’t have a lot of time to workout. That is why I developed this site – for average people with busy lives who want to get in or maintain their shape. Fat loss is naturally one of the biggest concerns of most individuals.

As I’ve illustrated numerous times through this site, getting a quick workout is not that difficult. You can create workouts that last anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. It’s all based on how much time you have to workout, or how much time you want to spend working out.

Now, through this site, I’ve published numerous bodyweight training programs that employ the fundamentals: pushups, pullups, and bodyweight squats. For years, this is all I did. But for the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with Circular Strength Training (CST) bodyweight exercises.

What is CST and How can it help me Burn Fat?

CST is really complex and difficult to define in a few sentences. In fact, I’m still learning on my own what it is and how it effects the human body. But, to try and keep this short CST is all about moving the body through it’s full potential of movement.

CST bodyweight training uses many movements from Prasara Yoga. Prasara Yoga is a “method of physical practice designed to improve flow.” Flow is “the ability to move your body into any position or direction with grace and fluidity.”

All this jargon leads up to one conclusion (well at least in my mind) Prasara Yoga and Circular Strength Training is the next level of bodyweight training. Here is a sample of what Prasara Yoga looks like:

I consider myself a student of fitness, and strive to learn everything thing I can to make my body look and perform better.

Thus, CST is just the next step up in my training. And, as I’ve done for so many years through this blog, my goal is to share my knowledge with the rest of the world. So, with that said, how can CST andPrasara Yoga help you burn fat?

I’ve written a lot about the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and Testosterone to burn fat and build lean muscle mass. Think about this: these movements are not just linear like pushups,pullups, and squats. It’s not even like doing Burpees, which I would consider a hybrid movement (combining two movements that flow well together).

CST Bodyweight Exercises engage a lot more muscle than traditional and hybrid movements. The more muscle you engage, the more fat you burn and muscle you build. In addition, most CST bodyweight fat loss workouts are organized into a interval scheme.

But you can organize the exercises in any manner you wish. Here’s a sample CST bodyweight workout you can try today:

You’ll feel better right after the first workout. As I mentioned before, you’ll be working muscles that you never even knew you had. After my first workout, I woke up the next morning and my entire body was sore!

If you’re ready to incorporate bodyweight training as part of your fitness plan, then you should check out Bodyweight Exercise Revolution. Coach’s Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock show you how to use unique bodyweight movements to lose fat, build muscle, increase strength, improve athletic fitness, and enhance longevity.

The Ultimate Solution for Obese People: Daily Workout Without Weights for Fat Loss and Better Mobility

When most people try to lose weight, they pop in some sort of aerobics tape such Tae Bo or one of those dancing tapes. That’s not too bad. I mean, at least you’re moving your body.

But what you really need to be doing is strength training. You don’t need to go out to a gym and start lifting heavy weights. You can do it in the comfort of your own home with your own bodyweight.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “but I can’t do pushups, pullups, and squats.” That’s fine, don’t’ do them. But their is an entire slew of other very basic, simple bodyweight exercises you can perform in the comfort of your own home.

Bodyweight Training for Obese People

One of the biggest qualities of bodyweight training, aside from it’s fat burning benefits, is the fact that it teaches you body control. Mobility is the ability to move, and is one of the most important things in daily life.

For just a second, I want you to expand your mind. Think beyond pushups, pullups, and squats. Think about the strong, powerful bodies of break dancers. Think about the lean bodies of gymnasts.

It’s no surprise that these individuals are extremely athletic. Gymnasts, dancers, and people who practice Yoga don’t necessarily train for fat loss.

Instead, they train for movement. That is exactly what you need to focus your energy on.

Solving the Movement Problem

There are three ways you can move better and hence start losing fat. Each of these three methods are performed at different levels of intensity, but are still extremely vital in your long term progress.

Method One: Low Intensity training with Mobility Drills

The goal of mobility drills is to get you to move better. It does this by stretching and strengthening your joints through a variety of movements. Mobility drills are important for all fitness levels, and will help you get your body warmed up to higher intensity training.

Method Two: Medium Intensity training with Prasara Yoga

Prasara Yoga is the next step up. It teaches you how to easily “flow” from one position to the next. This is a low-impact form of exercise, but it can also be extremely difficult as the postures get more and more complex.

Method Three: High Intensity training with Bodyweight Movements

This is the last tier of training. Once you’ve gotten good at mobility drills and are comfortable with yoga, it’s time to test your body and see how far it can go with explosive bodyweight movements.

There’s only one program out there that successfully combines all three of these methods into one, complete bodyweight training program. The name of the program is Bodyweight Exercise Revolution. Coach’s Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock show you how to use unique bodyweight movements to lose fat, build muscle, increase strength, improve athletic fitness, and enhance longevity.

Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss

Now You can Have a Great

Body, Better Health,

and Amazing Fitness by

Exercising with Just

your Bodyweight in the

Comfort of your Own

Home!

I’ve been training with my

bodyweight for almost two

years now. For a long time I stuck to

primarily pushups,

pullups, and bodyweight squats. But

once I purchased

Coach Steer and Murdock’s,

Bodyweight Blueprint for

Fat Loss, I’ve been incorporating a

lot of their unique

exercises and workout programs.

For just 77 bucks Coach Steer and Murdock have developed a three – phase fat loss system that will literally blow torch your fat. But not only are the exercises unique, but Coaches Steer and Murdock are the first Coaches that actually include video demonstrations with their products.

What! $77? Is Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat loss REALLY worth your $77?

Benefit #1: Unique Bodyweight Movements

Well, eBooks are half hazardly put together. That is why I will usually purchase a program, and then rely on YouTube to show me how to perform the exercises.

But, most of the exercises in Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss (BBFL) are not featured on YouTube. This is why the video descriptions that they include are so valuable!

Here is a sample unique exercise from Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss:

Benefit #2: Full Recovery Resources

Another drawback to most bodyweight programs is that they provide you with intense workouts, but don’t teach you how to effectively recover from your training. Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss is different.

First, Intu-Flow is a special set of mobility drills designed to loosen up your body after a hard training session.

Before purchasing, Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss, I only went through some very basic dynamic stretches. I thought this was enough to get me through my workouts.

Boy was I wrong! Once I started implementing Intu-Flow into my overall workout program, all those aches and pains I was experiencing slowly began to disappear.

Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss goes very deep into Intu-Flow with lots of exercises and detail. The same is true for the Prasara Yoga. In fact, the Prasara Yoga video is very simple to follow.

Bodyweight Blueprint for Fat Loss gives you a very clear picture of how to perform the Prasara Yoga poses. I’m still working on my flexibility, but the point is that these two sets of videos will guarantee you better recovery from your intense bodyweight workouts.

Benefit #3: Incredible Nutritional Information

This package features 4 separate audios from experts in 4 separate niches on nutrition. This gives you 4 effective options to better eating habits.

So you have a vegetarian eating expert, an intermittent fasting expert, a primal eating expert, and finally an expert who teaches you how to lose weight while “cheating.” Understand that each of these experts have then own individual eBook.

You’re getting extremely good advice from experts who know what they’re doing. And you don’t even have to go and buy their individual eBooks! You get all the information as part of this incredible fat loss package!

Turbulence Training Mini Bodyweight Circuits

Here’s another great bodyweight workout program from Turbulence Training. It’s called Mini Bodyweight Circuits. These are really great workouts you can use when you’re EXTREMELY short on time.

In the following video, Craig Ballantyne shares workout A from the full program. You start the workout with Chinups. Perform just 2 repetitions short of failure. This means that if you can do 10 chinups as your maximum, do just 8 repetitions.

If you don’t have a bar, then substitute the chinups for pushups instead. Perform 2 repetitions short of failure. Follow up with 25 prisoner squats. Try to do these all in a row, but you can take breaks in between if you can’t do all 25 in a row.

Finish off the circuit with reverse lunges. Perform 15 repetitions each leg. You can use weights if you have access to them, but only for the reverse lunges. This is one circuit.

Perform the circuit 2-4 more times, depending on your fitness level. Check out the video:

Does Jogging Still Work for Fat Loss?

 

There is nothing more effective for fat burning than…what actually works.

What us fitness guys often forget is that we can sit around all day referencing this article, or that article. But what really works for fat loss is what REALLY works for fat loss. If you don’t get results, throw it in the trash and find something that does.

So when I posed the question: Does jogging still work for fat loss? on Twitter, I received a simple, straight up answer that needs a mention:

 

Thanks for the response Nick!

You’re right, sprint intervals ARE the way to go. One look at sprinters give you a pretty good idea why:

sprint intervals

The problem with sprint intervals are that they are HARD to do. If you’ve never done sprint intervals, then you’re going to have to start off slow and steady.

Don’t Train with a Sprinter

My neighbor is a sprinter.

I decided to go to the track with one day.

I never went back.

He took me through a warmup which was like a workout to me. By the time the actual workout started, I was exhausted.

Sprinting for fat loss..The Right Way!

So then…what exactly IS the right way to sprint?

I personally like to combine my sprints with a simple bodyweight exercise, such as pushups. The following is a plan which I’ve broken up into a beginner, intermediate, and advanced workout:

Beginner:

3 rounds of:

10 seconds pushups, 30 seconds rest
10 seconds sprint, 30 seconds rest
Progressions:

  • Add five seconds of work each workout until you get up to 20 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest
  • Drop back down to 10 seconds of work, and rest only 25 seconds. Build up to 20 seconds of work, 25 seconds of rest

Intermediate:

3 rounds of:

20 seconds pushups, 20 seconds rest
20 seconds sprinting, 20 seconds rest

Progressions:

  • Add a fourth round. You may need to drop down to 10 seconds work, 30 seconds of rest. Follow the above prescriptions to build back up to 20 seconds work, 20 seconds rest
  • Drop you rest down 15 seconds. Go back to 3 rounds if necessary. Your goal is to perform 4 rounds with 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest

Advanced:

4 rounds of:

20 seconds pushups, 10 seconds rest
20 seconds sprinting, 10 seconds rest

Progressions:

  • Increase work by 5 seconds until you are performing 30 seconds of work, and 10 seconds rest.
  • Add another round. Work and rest may need to be adjusted. Goal is 5 rounds, 30 work/10 rest
  • Perform kettlebell swings after the sprinting. You may need to drop the total rounds back to 3 rounds. Build back up to 5 rounds, 30 work/10 rest.

That’s how I do intervals!
