Maximum Fat Loss While Gaining Lean Muscle


Want to Lose Maximum Fat While Keeping and Even BUILDING Muscle?

I've got 7 things to tell you that will change the way you look at fat loss forever.

1. It IS possible to gain muscle while losing fat, even in advanced trainers.

2. Under the right dietary and training conditions, your body can actually use your own bodyfat to provide energy for building muscle, practically doubling the speed of fat loss.

3. Low-carb diets work. Low-fat diets work. But neither works forever. You can take the best features of both and combine them to actually FEED off each other with NO plateaus EVER.

4. Training with high reps and isolation exercises for fat loss is a waste of time and energy. It will practically guarantee that you lose muscle.

5. Your own natural metabolism is FAR more powerful for burning fat than any fat-loss pills or potions you could ever take IF you know how to stimulate it properly.

6. Precise manipulation of the nutrients in your diet (protein, fat and carbs) can have extraordinary muscle-building and fat-burning hormonal effects on your body.

7. Rebound weight gain when coming off a diet does NOT have to happen. With the right program, you can actually continue to lose fat even after you're done. There is no rebound, just more results!

If any of these 7 things sound interesting to you, you owe it to yourself to check out this link right now!

Burn More Fat Increase Cardio With Exercise Complexes


If you've been looking for something new to break out of a rut in your muscle building or fat burning workouts, eliminate the boredom, and bring on new results. Complex training may just be what you've been looking for.

Complexes work a huge amount of muscle in a short amount of time, and takes your muscle building and fat burning workouts to a new level of intensity. The conditioning benefits of doing complexes is amazing, it will push your cardio capacity to the max. This type of fat burning workout releases natural growth hormone which is responsible for building muscle and burning fat.

A complex is made up of two or more exercises done one right after the other for a specific number of reps with minimal rest. As an example you do 6 reps each of several exercises (usually anywhere from 2-8 exercises) one right after another and repeat the sequence several times.

You can do complexes with barbells, dumbbells, body weight exercises, kettlebells or a mix of any combination.

Complexes can be done as a total body muscle building and fat burning workouts, or you can do a complex for the upper and lower body separately (all three are useful methods and should be cycled into your training, as fat loss and muscle building come faster by changing your workouts every 4-5 weeks).

Doing the exercises of your complex once would be considered 1 set. In the beginning you will have to judge for yourself (based on your fitness level) how many sets you can do. As you improve over the next few weeks, you’ll do more sets (I normally work up to 6). The total amount of sets should be based on how many exercises you are doing.

Do not pick a weight that is too light where you can get a ton of reps and do not pick a weight that is too heavy where your form is horrible. Good exercise form is always important especially as you tire.

For a beginner I would suggest 2-3 exercises to start with.

You can also increase the intensity by reducing your rest time between sets or increasing the number of reps you perform on the exercises.

The Benefits Of Complex Training For Muscle Building And Fat Burning

Less Workout Time

No workout should take more than 20 minutes(depending on your rest time).

Lets check this out. We'll do 6 exercises 6 reps each in our complex say 4 seconds per rep, 30 seconds rest(absolute max rest time), that's 54 seconds per exercise times 6 equals 5 minutes and 40 seconds for one set.

Complexes aren't easy. Rest only enough to move to your next exercise. You’ll work a ton of muscle and send your heart rate soaring. As you progress, you’ll do more sets and rest less, making for extremely effective and intense workouts.

FEWER WORKOUTS

Depending on your fitness level I suggest doing compexes 2-3 days a week. My workouts are 3 strength training workouts a week and 2 days of fat burning workouts using complexes. Workout with plenty of intensity and compound exercises you don't need any more.

Burns More Calories

Use compound lifts with minimal rest, this will burn hundreds of calories. The recovery process your body will go through after each workout will raise your metabolism for a day or so afterward yes, you keep burning calories at an higher rate long after your workout is over. Studies have shown that the calories burned in the hours after a workout come largely from stored fat, as opposed to muscle or carbohydrates.

Cardio Workouts To Burn Belly Fat



Can you imagine the day that this doesn't happen?

You look in the mirror there it is: that layer of excess belly fat that has accumulated as a result of too much of the wrong foods and not doing the right exercise to lose that excess belly fat.

But you spend at least 90 minutes 5-6 times a week on a Treadmill, bike or elliptical? Right?

And still there it is,

What if I can show you an exercise system that is scientifically proven to lose your belly fat faster but in shorter more efficient workouts.

Scientific research shows that 20 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training (HITT) is better than 40 minutes of cardio when it comes to losing your belly fat.

What is High Intensity Interval Training?

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is cardio performed at a high intensity level so that your body will spend the rest of the day burning energy and (belly fat) to recover from the intense workout.

You will be burning up to nine times more body fat while sitting on the couch later that night than you would have if you'd spent an hour on the treadmill at a moderate pace.

Make no mistake this is intense training. You will need to push yourself and really challenge yourself. If you are willing to do this, you will in less time lose your belly fat and drop your overall body fat.

But you can alter your workouts to your own conditioning level if the true high intensity workouts are too much.

How High Intensity Interval Training Will Benefit You

It’s at least 200% more efficient, if not more. You can get the same or better fitness and fat loss improvements in half the time.

It builds real-world fitness. How many times each week do you do a 20-second stair climb? Compare that to how many times you run 30 minutes continuously (not including training)? Exactly.

Interval training builds anaerobic and aerobic fitness. Lose your belly fat AND gain lean muscle.

Increased cardio capacity.

Interval training causes a boost in your metabolism by using much more energy.

And when your body uses more energy, it means, that you are burning more calories and losing that belly fat.

There are a few different ways to do Interval training. First a true High Intensity Interval Training Workout using Sprints.

Warm up at a comfortable intensity for 5 minutes. Then, give your maximum effort for 15 to 30 seconds, followed by a 2-minute recovery. You can walk during the recovery or you can just take it down to a very light jog, depending on your current level of fitness. More than likely, though, you will be going so hard that you will need to walk during the recovery. Perform between 6 and 10 of these intervals, and finish with a cooldown.

Here is a list of preferred ways to do your Interval Training

Sprinting outdoors (and hills might be the absolute best)
Strongman movements (Farmer’s walks, tire flips, car pushing)
Bodyweight interval circuits
Treadmill running
Barbell and/or Dumbell Circuits
Kettlebell circuits
