Fat Loss - 1 Mistake All Women Make

Following the cardio mentality and depending on the cardio
confessional is the biggest mistake that all women make when it
comes to fat loss. Let me explain...

On Saturday morning I was walking home from the gym when I passed
by a young women - about 28 years old - who was talking on her
iPhone.

And I heard her say, "I'm going for a walk now to get some exercise
because I'm going out for a bad dinner tonight."

And I just wanted to yell, "No - no - no - no - no! That doesn't
work. It never has, it never will."

You can't out-cardio a bad diet.

Every woman I've ever met has made this mistake and had that
"cardio confessional mindset" at one time or another - and it goes
for most of the guys I know, too.

Unfortunately, at best, this poor girl will probably burn an extra
300-500 calories during her walk - if it's a really, really long
walk. But at dinner, she's likely to eat 400-700 calories during
the appetizer or consume that in liquid calories alone!

(NOTE: By "bad dinner", I'm guessing she meant a high-calorie meal,
and not a pity date with a deadbeat ex-boyfriend.)

The bottom line is that a single cardio session will not beat a bad
diet.

Now you might be thinking, "At least it's better than nothing."

But is it?

Remember, as I've mentioned in the past, one British study found
that some people OVEREAT in response to cardio exercise.

So when dinner comes around, this poor girl might think, "Oh, I did
that long walk today, so I can treat myself to a bigger dinner or
dessert."

The only thing that comes close to beating a bad diet is interval
training and resistance training.

Back in 2007, an Australian research study on interval training was
getting a LOT of press for the surprising results. In the study,
women who did interval training were able to lose belly fat without
changing their diet.

In fact, one subject, named Louise, said this:

"My diet was pretty bad back then, with lots of sweets, lots of
junk food...doughnuts and sugar -- it was awful."

And yet by the end of this study, interval training helped Louise
burn 8kg of fat in just 15 weeks - WITHOUT changing her diet.

Perhaps it IS POSSIBLE for you to out-train a bad diet - but only
if you use interval training.

And that's just another reason the best short, burst fat burning
workouts are based on this specific type of fat burning exercise.

So here's what you need to do:

1) Give up the "Cardio Confessional Mentality" and understand that
you can't "out-cardio a bad diet".

2) Stick to your simple lifestyle nutrition plan 90% of the time
and then enjoy your 10% reward meals GUILT-FREE.

3) Use interval training to burn the fat and resistance training to
sculpt your body.

It's that simple - a 3-step system for fat loss success that is
guaranteed to work every time.

Here's the program that shows you EXACTLY what to do:

Losing Belly Fat Fast For Men

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 Guaranteed Fat Burning Tips for 2010

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.
