Losing Belly Fat Fast For Men

Turbulence Training Book Cover  Image

If you want to lose belly fat and build muscle, you can do it by making one
simple change to your workout program.

Most guys make the big mistake of doing long, slow cardio and doing a few
weight machines and thinking that will help them lose body fat, but it's not
that simple.

First of all, slow cardio is boring, so most guys end up skipping those
workouts anyways. And second of all, research has shown that when men do 6
hours of cardio per week for an entire year, they only lose 6 pounds.

At that rate, it will take forever for you to lose your beer belly. Instead,
you need to stop doing cardio. But that's good news, right? You'll save time
and you won't dread your workouts.

Now about those weight machines...if you are doing the same workouts over
and over again, your body will not change. You won't lose fat, you won't
gain muscle, and you won't be able to get lean and have a flat stomach.

Instead, you'll be stuck with a skinny-fat body and a little bit of a belly.
So here's what you need to do.

First, focus on total body exercises. You don't even need weight machines.
You can be doing squats, lunges, pushups, bodyweight rows, chinups, and
pullups, if you prefer to use only bodyweight exercises. Alternatively, you
can switch to dumbbells and free weights for more traditional gym exercises.

But either way, you need to have more variety in your program. Plus, you
need to apply the one simple trick to your training program.

And what is that one simple trick?

What you need to do is increase your training intensity.

Sure it's "hard" to do 45 minutes of cardio, but if you can do something for
45 minutes straight, that's NOT intense.

So you need to switch from slow cardio to intense interval training, and
from easy weight machine circuits to intense resistance training supersets.

By doing that, research shows that you will lose belly fat faster than with
cardio, and you will burn more calories in the hours AFTER exercise - even
when you are sitting on the couch watching TV.

Plus, intense workouts are shorter - and often only take half as long as the
slow cardio, weight machine circuit type programs.

So let's review. Make one simple change to your program by increasing
exercise intensity. By doing that, you'll save time and lose belly fat.

To get the exact details - which take a lot more space than we have here -
on how to do short, burst workouts to burn belly fat, then get started with
the world's most popular fat burning workout system, Turbulence Training.

It's been proven by tens of thousands of clients all over the world, and has
been featured in Men's Health and Men's Fitness magazines as the fastest
workout to help guys lose belly fat and build muscle. And you can even do
these workouts at home.

5 Unique Fat Burning Tips

Turbulence Training Book Cover Image

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Author, Turbulence Training

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:

#5 - 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.

#4 - 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."

#3 - Hit a personal best in each workout.

This is an oldie, but a goodie. There are a few reasons 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, plank
time, etc.), then you will feel a HUGE sense of accomplishment.

b) More personal bests = more results. Plain and simple.

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

#2 - Get a trainer or join a bootcamp

"According to Men's Health magazine, (Dec, 2009), beginners who
work with trainers get more results than beginners who workout by
themselves". Guaranteed.

#1 - Read a motivational quote every morning.

I promise you that it will elevate your motivation and inspire you
to reach your fat loss goals.

Here's the first motivational quote you can read tomorrow morning:

"Be loud and proud of the healthy changes you are making in your
life. There are many more folks secretly wishing someone will take
charge and be a healthy role model for them. It might not happen
overnight, but if you continue to lead by healthy example - without
preaching or being condescending - you can build an entourage that
will help you reach the next level." - Craig Ballantyne

Those are 5 unique tips to help you lose fat.

5 Guaranteed Fat Burning Tips for 2010

Turbulence Training Book Cover Image

If it's January, it must be crazy time in the gym...and it must mean
that every huckster out there is selling the magic potion to help
folks lose the blubber.

Be very careful about "gurus" who make claims that sound too good to
be true...after all, none of that stuff has worked in the past, why
would it start working now?

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.

The basics are what work time and time again. That's how the TT
Transformation Contest winners get such great results.

The 5 simple steps to success are:

1) Review your food journal.

Research shows that if you use a food journal, you should lose up to
3.5 pounds more than if you didn't. Pretty simple, huh?

2) Use Fitday.com to see if your calories have crept up.

When people ask me how many calories they should be eating, I simply
tell them to do three things.

- Go to Fitday.com and find out how many calories they are eating now.
- Cut that number by 20% if they are not losing weight.
- Improve the quality of their diet by eating at least 5 servings of
fruit and 5 servings of vegetables each day (in addition to your
other healthy foods).

The fat will fall off with this simple guideline.

3) Stop doing long, slow, boring cardio and switch to interval
training.

Unless you are training for a marathon, a 10-K, or if you just love
cardio more than life itself, there's really no reason to do long,
slow boring cardio.

Switch to shorter interval training sessions and you'll get more
results, have more fun, and do it all in less than half the time.

4) Review your workouts for best results.

In addition to your food journal, you should keep a workout journal.
This will allow you to go back through your past workouts to find
out which ones worked best for you and which ones you enjoyed. If
you're struggling now, I suggest returning to the program that gave
you the best results in the past.

5) Include resistance training in your workouts to help you sculpt
your body.

Look at your body as a sculpture...sure you might have a little
extra plaster on it, but you'll get that off fastest with nutrition,
not long cardio.

So use nutrition to lose the fat, and resistance training supersets,
like the ones in the world-renowned Turbulence Training program,
and you'll sculpt your body like a beautiful work of art.

If you're ready to go sleeveless, to get a flat stomach, and even
to show off your body at the beach, then you're ready for the world's
most popular home-workout program, Turbulence Training.

As featured in Men's Health, Women's Health, Oxygen, Men's Fitness,
and even Prevention magazine, Turbulence Training and Craig
Ballantyne's fat loss tips have been used by millions of men and
women all over the world.

And now you can try this legendary workout program for less than the
cost of a fast food combo.

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.

Nobody gets old by surprise.

Nobody.

No one is in a "perfect environment" to transform their body. We all

3 Amazing Fat Burning Interval Training Options

Turbulence Training Book Cover Image

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Turbulence Training

If you are looking to cut down on the amount of time you spend in
the gym without jeopardizing your fat loss goals, then including
interval training alongside your strength training program is the
only way to go.

Just imagine spending half the time in the gym - if not more - and
getting way better results. Isn't that what you deserve?

I thought so.

And to make the notion of ditching long, slow, boring cardio even
more convincing is the fact that you will be far less susceptible
to sustaining an overuse injury with interval training.

For some of you, however, the thought of giving up your daily
cardio machine routine is too much to bear. But not to worry
because you can still use your favorite machine, but we'll just
tweak things a bit so that you get more out of your workout in half
the time.

1) Interval Training Option #1 - Classic Intervals

For example, try incorporating intervals on the treadmill by
running hard for 30 seconds, at an 8 out of 10 intensity level,
followed by 60 seconds of light recovery at a 3 out of 10 intensity
level.

That is one interval, and so you will repeat this process up to 6
times, while using a five minute warm-up and a 5 minute cool down.

Each week try to do more squats in the same amount of time. This
may sound easy, but trust me; it can be as difficult as you make
it!

2) Interval Option #2 - Short Burst Squats

I personally recommend a Gymboss timer for this type of training,
but it isn't essential.

So, for the bodyweight interval training you will do as many
bodyweight squats as you can for 20 seconds and then hold the
bottom position for 10 seconds, then repeat your squats for 20
seconds, and then hold at the bottom for 10 etc. Repeat these
intervals for 8 rounds.

3) Interval Option # - Kettlebell Swings

If you have a kettlebell, you can do swings or kettlebell squats for
30 seconds and then walk for 30 seconds and alternate for 6-10
rounds. That's a great way to finish a fat burning workout.

Alright, so those are just three of the countless ways in which you
can include interval training into your workouts that will burn fat
faster and help you avoid spending more time than necessary in the
gym.
