Rev Your Metabolism: Burn fat fast!

June 26, 2008

Hi everyone,

 Here is another great workout that I came accross.  This is from http://www.self.com/

Learn how to burn more fat, even while you are sitting on the couch!

The workout

These multitasking moves, designed by Kira Stokes, an instructor at Reebok Sports Club/NY in New York City, will create sleek, sexy curves and accelerate your metabolism. How? By building lean muscle, which burns about three times as many calories as fat. Twice-a-week strength sessions, in fact, can rev your engine so dramatically that your body will automatically zap up to 150 extra calories every day, even when you’re sitting on the couch. That can really add up!

You’ll need A pair of 5- to 8-pound dumbbells, a resistance band or piece of tubing tied into a loop and a stability ball

Try it Do two sets of 15 reps of each toner twice a week, giving your body a day to recover between strength sessions.

Include cardio Also do 40 minutes of heart-pumping activity three days a week. It will be challenging, but it’s the ideal dose to deliver a postexercise metabolism boost, a study in Obesity notes. Your body’s calorie-burning furnace will remain fired up for 24 to 48 hours after you swap your sneaks for sandals, says study author Gary Hunter, Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, adding, “You can burn 150 bonus calories a day.” Coupled with our toners, that’s 300 calories daily that are gone, poof, history, in addition to the tons you’ll torch doing the routine.

Jillian Michaels: Beach Boot Camp

March 6, 2008

This full set of exercises from Jillian Michaels, of ‘The Biggest Loser,’ will shape your body for the summer. Tell me a little bit about your philosophy.

I get thousands of e-mails everyday on my website, asking me how I am getting all of this weight off of people. The answer is simple. It’s Self. Science. Sweat. Self if understanding how your emotions and your behaviors are affecting your weight. Then learning techniques to commit all of your mental resources towards positive change. Science. There is no one size fits all when it comes to diets. So it’s about learning how many calories your body needs, and what types of foods are right for you.
The third thing is Sweat. This is my very favorite part of the process. You’ve got to move your but, in order to lose your butt. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a dirty rotten liar.
You are going to have to work out.

Strut Your Stuff: 7 Moves for Runway Legs

February 24, 2008

It is not too soon to start thinking about showing off your legs.  We are at the end of February and spring and summer will be here before you know it. More clothes will come off and I don’t want you to go into shock because you did not work on those legs!

I found a great article by Jeanette Jenkins over at the Fit List: Workout Tips for Celebrity Trainers over at MSNBC. Here is part of what she had to say:

Ever wonder how supermodels like Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell keep their legs looking runway-ready? Of course, there is no denying they have great genes. But they also work at those gorgeous gams. When they have a runway show coming up, such as the ones this month in Milan and Rio, they call on a trainer to get their legs looking fierce and fabulous!

To help you get your own pair of runway legs, incorporate some of the following lower-body exercises and activities into your workout regimen. For the best results, try using two to three different methods of training each week so your muscles are constantly challenged.

She recommends: Ballet, Call-me-the-’B'-word-today-but-love-me-tomorrow-lunges!, Uphill hiking,Yoga, Strength-training, Pilates, a Spinning.

Jillian Michaels: Motivation

February 24, 2008


Hi I’m Jillian Michaels for America Takes it Off-Choose your Resolution. A big challenge in anyone’s fitness regiment is motivation. Ultimately motivation has to come from within. Make a list of all the reasons that you want to get healthy and be in shape, it’s this list that’s going to define your wellness goals. Be specific, and realistic when setting goals for yourself. In other words, if you’ve never workout out before, don’t expect to run a marathon right off the bat. Rather, schedule 30 walks 5 days a week, and work your way up to a 10 minute mile. Also, take responsibility. The choices that you make determine your destiny. Get out of victim mode. You have the ability to choose your actions in any situation, good or bad, to make the outcome, ultimately in your favor. By getting empowered and regaining control of your life, your goals will become reality in no time.

Interval Training: High Intensity

December 19, 2007

Exercise Videos for Fat Loss
This is Craig Ballantyne from TurbulenceTraining and TTmembers Today we are going to cover High Intensity Interval Training for fat loss . You’ve probably heard of Intensity Interval Training because it’s been used in a lot of programs these days for fat loss cause smart trainers know that it works a lot better than slow boring cardio. You get results faster, with much shorter workouts, and you actually get results, compared to some of these cardio workouts that aren’t getting you any results at all.High Intensity Interval Training means any type of spring exercise that lasts from about 0-90 seconds. Anything longer than about 2 minutes can get into what’s called aerobic interval training. Generally High Intensity Interval Training sessions are about 90 seconds or less.So usually even about 15-30 or even 45 seconds. That just means that you sprint for that designated period of time. Then you go down to a very easy period of exercise. That’s one of the big mistakes people make when they are doing their interval training, they don’t drop the intensity down low enough during the recovery period.If you are running at 10 miles per hour during your interval, and you drop it down only 8 miles per hour, then you’re really just still doing cardio. You’re not doing High Intensity Interval Training because that will not allow you to recover, and you won’t be able to sprint hard again at 10 miles per hour. So make sure you go from hard to easy.That means from going from a sprint, to a walk. It’s OK to walk during interval training. That’s the whole purpose so that you can work really hard.We are going to start with our warm up. Then we will get into our first High Intensity Interval Training.

So after I am fully warmed up, as you see in the exercise videos above, doing our regular specific 5-10 minute warm-up, then we’ll go into our High Intensity Interval Training. So now I am sprinting. This is a pace that I can maintain for 30 -45 seconds. I’ll do my interval after 45 seconds. I’ll take it all the way down to a very low recovery pace. So all the way down to 3.5 MPH on the treadmill. Make sure that you’re walking. So it doesn’t matter if you run you intervals at 8 MPH or 10MPH or even 12 MPH, you have to come down to this walking pace. That’s one interval. You’ll do about 6 intervals in a workout, and finish with a cooldown. That’s High Intensity Interval Training. It’s going to give you more results in terms of your fat loss program, also in sports specific conditioning. It’s also going to make you fitter for your everyday activities.

Ripped Abs: My 3 Favorite Abdominal Exercises

December 19, 2007


Exercise Videos for Fat Loss: Abdominal Exercises
Hi, my this is Craig Ballantyne from Turbulence Training and TTmembers. Today I am going to show you my 3 favorite abdominal exercises ,but none of them involve laying on your back, and curling your shoulder blades off the ground, or doing sit-ups or doing any type of that movement where you do hundreds of repetitions, while lying on the ground.The first exercise that I am going to show you, is using the [tag] ab wheel, then I’m going to show you the stability ball jacknife, and then a crossbody mountain climber These exercises can be done in a circuit, for an excellent abdominal workout , that really works your abdominals, without putting a lot of stress on your lower back.

So the fist exercise , is the ab wheel . You’ve seen it on TV. You’re going to start in an upright position. Rollout. Sqeeze your abs , and come back up. Then in the circuit you can move immediately into what’s called a stability ball jackknife  . Put your elbows up on the bench. Feet on the ball, Tuck in…and out. There’s many variations you can do with this exercise, so we’re are going to a one leg one, and then we’re going to do a bit of a rotation. So with one leg. Then with rotation, you’ll bring your legs up to one side, and then to the other. You can also do this with your hands on the ground, instead of your elbows on the bench. And add a pushup. All types of variations that you can do with that exercise. The final exercise, a mountain climber, with a cross body rotation.

So on this one, instead doing the regular mountain climber, where you just bring your knees straight ahead. You’re going to take your knee to your opposite arm. So that way you get a bit of rotation, and work your abdominals extra hard. So those are my three favorite abdominal exercises. They are exercises that you can do in a circuit. To get great results. Burn fat and get ripped abs.
