Cardio Training

If you think rapid fat loss is easy, think again. Name one thing in life worth achieving that didn't take hard, smart work. You can't do it.


If anything, rapid fat loss will be very difficult to attain. You are burning fat at a faster rate. That means tough workouts and healthy, managed nutrition.

And, rapid fat loss is just the beginning kickstart to your long-term exercise program. You will continue to workout, burn fat and lose weight after the rapid fat loss period (usually about 10-14 days).

I heard yet another advertisement for a quick weight loss pill. It promised results "the easy way!" After 100 years of weight loss history, doctors and fitness professionals agree that the best solution for fat loss and weight loss is healthy, managed nutrition and regular exercise.

Until you get good at knowing what and when to eat, keep a food journal to learn how to manage your eating. Research has proven that you will have a better chance of succeeding with your nutrition plan and fat loss if you keep a food journal.

By logging your actual food choices, you are holding yourself accountable throughout the day. You will be forced to plan your meals better. It will also help protect you from binge eating and emotional eating if you write down why you eat what you eat.

There are no quick fixes for building your lean and toned body! Forget the commercials that say "Lose 20 pounds in 10 days." You will put that weight back on (and more) when you begin to eat enough food again.

And, the weight you lose that quickly is mainly lost muscle and not lost fat. You need to build a body that will give you good health and one that will last through the years of your life.

Fortunately, muscle mass can be maintained/increased (and body fat decreased) throughout your life with regular weight training (including bodyweight exercises) and interval cardio exercise. Weight training also helps to keep your bones strong (preventing osteoporosis).

When was the last time you had your body fat percentage checked? Make a habit of doing this once a week to check your progress. If your body is shrinking (lost fat and inches), you are on the way to building your lean body.

There are no shortcuts to building the healthy, lean and toned body you need!
