The last couple of weeks I've been working on my Bonus Fat Burning Workout videos , but this week I decided to go more into some diet secret tips and tricks.  Diet and more specifically the pre-workout meal in a fat burning diet is often overlooked. I decided to tackle this issue first. Your performance during a workout is highly important if you want to get the most out of your fat burning fitness and diet program.  If you're not fueled up properly through your diet, your performance will be less than optimal.  For example, you might feel weak or fatigued, and for an exercise where 10 reps and 100 lbs would be best, you might only be able to accomplish 6-8 reps.  That would mean your missing out on 20-40% of fat burning foundation building results. By foundation building, I mean building lean body mass a.k.a muscle, and stimulating your metabolic processes.  Obviously, if you want to get the best and fastest fat burning and fitness results, you can't miss out on the ben

When you're trying to burn fat and get fit, adding some fun outdoor workouts are a great idea.  Not only can they increase your fitness level and crank up your metabolism, but they keep things fresh and fun.  There are also many benefits of being outdoors, including but not limited to vitamin D.   The "Elysian" workout is one of my favorite outdoor fat burning workouts.  I named it the Elysian because I filmed it right outside Dodgers Stadium at Elysian Park.  If you're ever in the Los Angeles area, it's a must visit!  This fat burning workout requires a sled, or something to drag, a sandbag, and a grassy hill. You don't necessarily need a hill, but the uphill climb really taxes your metabolic processes. If you want to burn fat, the higher the tax, the better! Check out the free Elysian Fat Burning Workout, and below I'll go over some details below. Make sure to warm up properly before doing these type of high intensity workouts. The Elysian

As part of my bonus fat burning workout video series, last week I uploaded a beginners type workout video you can do at home .  This week, it's a more advanced workout. If you want to look like an athlete, with a low body fat, toned/ripped body and six pack abs, the best way to do so is to train like an athlete. In most sports, power, strength and conditioning are attributes that the best athletes in any sport continuously work to develop and maintain.  These attributes along with skill development is what takes them to the top and keeps theme there.  Here is an advanced fat burning workout that you can do to develop power, strength and conditioning.  Even if your not a pro athlete, you can still train like one to achieve that athletic body with a low body fat percentage. Get that toned/ripped athletic look with six pack abs just in time for Summer.  Check out the free workout video and give it a try.  If you've done the fat burning Fat X Program (FX 12), you already know tha

This was a “Fat X Project” from 2011. A “Fat X Project” is when I put someone through my 12 Day Fat X Program .    This Fat X Project was code named BBB, short for bomb bikini body. The goal was to get through the Fat X Program in 12 days and come out with less fat, and a more toned body that would be well on it's way to looking great in a bikini.   This Fat X Project would be the most trying for me as subject BBB was my girlfriend at the time, Elizabeth.  As anyone knows, training your significant other can be a challenge.  I've actually had other fitness trainers pay me to train their significant other because of how much of a challenge it can be.   Elizabeth was motivated to get her bikini body but the skepticism as to the power and effectiveness of the the Fat X Program lingered.  Getting her to change her diet habits and follow the Fat X diet philosophy was and uphill battle. Luckily, towards the end of the 12 day fat burning program we finally ironed out the kinks in h

As part of my bonus free fat burning workout video series, I decided to put together a workout that can be done at home.  All this home workout requires is an object to use as resistance.  I chose a detergent bottle for the video.  You can fill a detergent bottle with water, or anything else to create resistance.  The heavier you make it, the more challenging the exercises and the home workout will be.   There are two ten minute circuits in this workout.  The first circuit is high rep and it serves as a good warm up.  The second circuit is where it really gets fun and challenging.  Do the best you can.  Track your progress and try to improve on each workout, just like the way the Fat X Program is set up.   This home fat burning workout is based on time limits, so the idea is to do more circuits or to get farther along in a circuit within those ten minutes.  For example, if the first time you do the workout you get through 5 of the circuits and two of the exercises, next time,
