What good is a muscular body if you can’t see it under layers of fat?
Next time you go out, take a look around at the body shapes of the people in your community. You’ll find that there’s a bit of a theme. People these days are overweight.
So what do we do it? Are you one of them? I was, but I found out one of the biggest secrets of the bodybuilding community. How to strip the fat quickly and easily, with no hour long cardio sessions!
Building Muscle Tips #4 How To Strip That Fat and Reveal Your Lean Toned Muscles
So You’re ready to strip that fat? OK, here’s how it’s done:
Strip The Fat Step 1. LIft Weights Don’t worry, you wont become muscle bound overnight. It takes years of bodybuilding to get big like those guys. The cool thing is though, that muscles burn energy faster than any other cells in your body. So lift weights, and your body will burn more fat. Simple. Workout every couple of days and you’ll notice the difference.
Strip The Fat Step 2. Don’t do aerobic exercises. They take too long, and you can get the same results doing the same work in less time. If there’s an easier way, wouldn’t that be best? (haha, I’m such a lazy coach!)
So What’s The Best Way To Train? Well, muscles burn more fat because they speed up the metabolism. So, what we’ve got to do is speed up the body’s metabolism so it burns fat like a furnace! We can do this by doing short (15 minute) intense workouts. It’s just like going for a jog for an hour, except you take all hard work, and put it into 15 minutes! This is commonly called High Intensity Training or Fartlek running.
Here’s the training cycle:
It’s divided into 2 parts. One intense, and the other less intense.
Here’s an example of a HIIT training session:
# Stretch
# 5 min warmup
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 1 min walk/jog
# 20 second sprint
# 5 min cooldown
# Stretches
The beautiful thing about this kind of training is that you’ll speed up your metabolism so much that you’ll be burning calories for days! And it only takes 15 minutes! It’s seriously the BEST way to strip that fat from your body with the least amount of work.
If you’re already training 3 days a week, do this cardio training on your OFF days only. The reason why is because your body simply does not know how to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. Alternate between the 2 so you can get the best of both worlds. And remember, take a day off. Nothing worse than burn out when you’re doing so well.
Anything else? Sure is… just one more thing:
Building Muscle Tips – Step 3. Eat Fresh Food With High Water Content.
I’m not going to discuss all the benefits of eating fresh food, and reading food labels. But this stuff is important so let’s just be serious for a second. If you want to burn more fat it’s not going to happen eating McDonnalds and KFC. You know it’s true. So eat fresh foods. That’s right, your best option is to eat food that’s got heaps of nutritional value and helps get your metabolism going. That food is fresh Fruit and vegetables.
Yeah, I know, your mother was right. You’ve been hearing it since you were a child. “Eat Your Vegetables or there’s no desert!” Turns out they were right eh. Don’t worry, I won’t tell!
Honestly though, eat your vegetables, and eat them raw if possible. Keep your protein foods high so your body can repair and recover. Snack on RAW nuts and seeds (not the salted ones!) and protein shakes / bars. Get your carbohydrates mostly from fresh fruits and vegetables. Get to know your local market and your body will thank you for it.
As you change your diet, and work out with heavier weights, your body will change. So…
1. Work out with weights
2. Do Intense Cardio
3. Replace Junk Food With Fruit and Vegetables
Your body will thank you for it!
