Workout Videos vs A Workout Program

People can find free workout videos. There are several websites including but not limited to Youtube and spark people (sparkpeople.com) where you can find free workout videos. The problem is that a workout video is not a workout program. The difference is that a workout program is greater than the sum of it's parts. A good workout program should be set up so that each workout benefits the next in some way so as to increase it's synergy with all the other workouts in the program. There should be a path that is being followed so that a goal becomes closer and closer as you progress through the program.

The exercises in each workout should be set up in an order to maximize not only the results in that specific workout, but how that workout will fit in to the rest of the program, insuring the effectiveness of the complete program. One of the biggest mistakes people make when deciding they want to start an exercise program is that they do too much of one thing and not enough of others. This is common with beginners and is usually the main reason they do not get the results they want, over train, and or get demotivated.

If you're not doing the Fat X workout program, make sure that your exercise and fitness program is set up properly so that you can maximize your fat burning, weight loss, and fitness goals. If you are planning on doing the Fat X program consider downloading the Fat X Workout Guide so that you can maximize your results.

Fat Burning, Weight Loss, Diet and Fitness Q&A of the Week-Abs

Every week I answer a question or questions that are sent in to me regarding fat burning, weight loss, diet, fitness and or the Fat X program. Today's question was about abs.

Hi Coach,

I was just wondering how much your body fat percentage has to be to see abs. I want my abs to show this summer but I'm 15% body fat.

In order for your abs to show, there are two things that come into play. Number one is muscle, you have to have some abdominal muscle. The Fat X workout program will work you abdominal area through various exercises. Number two, your body fat generally has to be around 9% for the abdominal muscle to show through. You are very close. If you stick to the program I would definitely expect you to have a six pack or be close to it by the end of the month. Good luck.

The Secret About Belly Fat

One of the most common questions I get as a Fitness Coach is, "What's the secret to getting rid of belly fat?". The secret to getting rid of belly fat is understanding what belly fat is, and what it is not. Belly fat is the same as thigh fat, arm fat, neck fat, and any other type of body fat. It's excess calories stored on your body in a storage site. The belly just happens to be one of these main storage sites.

Marketers would like you to believe that there is some kind of magic exercise, pill or potion that will get rid of this belly fat. The truth, or secret if you will, is that the fastest way to reduce belly fat or any other type of fat stored on your body is through a properly designed workout program and a healthy diet. When your body fat percentage begins to fall because of proper exercise and diet, you will notice the body fat percentage drop in the belly area. The real secret is that your genetics will determine where the fat is likely to come off first and be the most noticeable, but eventually everyone will notice a significant body fat percentage drop in their belly area.

Fat Burning Weight loss FX Project 2009 Results

The results are in for the fat burning weight loss Fat X Project 2009. You can see the transformation and weight loss via fat over five weeks in the video. For this fat loss project I decided to use someone a little heavier, a beginner, a working wife and mother of two, so as to show that anyone can use the Fat X Program and achieve weight loss(fat loss). Also, in this project I decided not to complete the FX Program over 12 days, but to use a more conservative pace. Aleen, completed an average of three FX workouts a week.

While the results were good, I must admit I was a bit disappointed. She didn't follow the Fat X diet as closely as I would have liked. She actually took a weekend trip to Las Vegas the final week before taking the after pictures. Not good, but even so, I guess it shows the power of the FX workouts. I just wonder what the results would have been if she would have either followed the Fat X diet a little closer, or any other healthy diet for that matter.

I hope this serves as at least a little motivation for those that are still wanting to get into better shape, burn some fat and lose some weight this summer. Get your Fat X Project started today!
