Avoid Diet Sodas!

Diet sodas do more harm then good! Don't buy into the marketing hype that tells us that just because a soda says "diet" on it or "zero" makes it healthy or a better drink option for us. Truth be told it might actually be worse then regular... soda. Here's why, diet sodas are loaded with artificial sweetners and chemicals like aspertame.

These diet beverages are actually very bad for you, the reason being is they are synthetic and "man made" the body doesn't recognize the ingredients and can't process them so well.

Here is a video of a workout I did. This circuit is designed to improve overall conditioning, athletic explosiveness and power. I did 3 rounds of this circuit:
*Explosive push ups on the bosu trainer

Short Intense Workouts For Faster Resuts!

Quick Tip Corner:For faster fat loss efforts try keeping your workouts short and very intense(20-45min) combining strength and cardio type movements into the same routine. For example do pushups, followed by jumping ropes or doing a set of wind sprints. When training short high intensity workouts your metabolism will go up enabling your body to burn fat more effectively! Furthermore, you will... create whats called an "afrerburn" effect this is when your body continues to burn fat for about 24 hrs after the workout is over.

Is Your Cardio Routine Boring & Lacking Results?

Greetings,
 
 
Quick Tip Corner:Is your cardio routine boring and lacking results? Your cardio doesn't have to be boring, try doing a HIIT workout. HIIT means High Intensity Interval Training and is cardio training that combines one bout of all out effort for 30-45 seconds followed by a "recovery" period for about a minute. This is a lot more effective in burning fat and getting a leaner body then tradional... "slow steady cardio training"
 
What you do is after your initial warm up is sprint for a set short time (30-45 sec) then recover for another set time preferably 60-90 seconds to start depending on your fitness level and work towards only 30 sec recovery.

5 Training Mistakes That Can Hinder Your Fitness Results!‏

 
Greetings,
 
 
The following are some of the most common training mistakes people make that hinder their fitness results.  Here are some things that should be avoided.
 
 
 
 
1)Not having a structured routine:when it comes to working out "winging it" is not usually the best approach.  When you have certain goals that you are trying to reach it's always best to have a plan of attack as to how you will be going about achieving those goals.  If your goal is to bulk up, get lean, lose a lot of weight, or improve your performance in a certain sport, the training program should be specific for that desired goal.
