So let me guess…you are sick and tired of not getting the results you want from your workouts?  You have done just about every routine in the magazines and they have gotten you nowhere in a hurry.

There is a good explanation for this and although I cannot reveal all of this to you today, I would like to share with you a new fat burning routine I have used to help attack unwanted ugly body fat!

I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I train at the gym I have one intention. It’s to build more muscles. I’m sure this is the same for you.

As a fitness coach and personal trainer I need to answer this question all the time:

How can I get bigger?

It’s easy if you follow some simple rules. You will be able to increase your muscles mass without increasing your body fat!

Heavy Lift

First rule on the list is you need to lift heavy weights to increase your muscle mass. When you challenge your muscles enough, you damage the tiny micro-fibers of the muscle. With the right nutrition and enough rest you repair the damage, and with this repair your muscles slowly grow. To get good results, make sure you challenge your muscles with intensity in your workout. If you take too long of a rest in between sets, your muscles will not get the intensity they need to be really challenged. I suggest taking only just enough time to catch your breath (around 30 to 45 sec.) and then start another set right away.

By the way if you have never tried Super Charge before a workout…go for it! You will see a whole different you at the gym!

Shopping in my local mall the other day (I was dragged in screaming and kicking by my lovely wife, Robin) I chanced on a Successories store. You know, these are the stores that sell everything under the sun that is motivational, except perhaps for cattle prods. I went in and started thumbing through the motivational posters that they had when I came across one that featured a picture of a lion. The saying underneath it said that:

This is from my friend Dr. Gabe Mirkin’s Fitness and Health E-Zine February 7, 2010:

Researchers in Homburg, Germany showed that 50-year-old men who ran more than 50 miles per week at a fast pace had telomeres (chromosome caps) that were almost the same length as those of 20-year-old runners on the German National Team, and more than 40 percent longer than those or inactive men of the same age (Circulation, December 2009). This is astounding because shortened telomeres represent aging.

Over the weekend I decided to watch the CD that comes with the Get Lean Kit from Lee Labrada and Keith Klein.  By the way, if you are not familiarized with it, please take a look at my Get Lean Kit Review. 

After getting some inspiration from Lee’s awesome Mr. Olympia posing routine (which you can watch for free in www.labrada.com/tv) I decided to watch Keith Klein’s nutrition seminar.  This seminar is the best nutrition seminar I have ever seen because of Keith’s unique and effective ability to explain nutrition.  In addition, he’s not only a wealth of knowledge but he also practices what he preaches.

So you’ve been making great progress on your diet, when all of sudden… you stop. Your weight is not budging the scale to go down, your abs are not getting more clearly defined, and all of the happy moments of the prior weeks seem to be evaporating.

What to do?

You know the feeling, it’s late at night and you are driving home. You had a nice day at work and the radio is blaring just the perfect mix of music. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot it…suddenly the deer darts in front of your car…as your mind races, your heart starts pumping through your chest! In a split second you swerve to avoid the collision.
Most drivers education classes teach the concept of defensive driving. You drive your car in a manner where you are prepared for something to happen out of the ordinary.

In order for our bodies to function properly and stay healthy, it is important that we follow a good nutritious diet. Foods are made up of 6 classes of nutrients. These nutrients are macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and water. If you neglect to have the right combination of these 6 items, it will be very difficult to live a healthy lifestyle and achieve your weight loss goals!

HealthDay News reports that a new study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests 20 percent of US children and teens “have abnormal lipid levels, an indication of too much bad cholesterol, too little good cholesterol or high triglycerides,” which can “raise the risk for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States.”

Here are some common issues people could be having. My wife and I have had some of them, so I am going to post how we overcame some temporary obstacles.

Diet: First I have heard from several people that they are getting tired of eating the same thing over and over. I can tell you when I first tried the challenge, I was eating chicken, broccoli, and a half a baked potato for almost every meal.
