Fat Burning, Weight Loss, Diet and Fitness Question of the Week

By
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 in regards to Fat Burning Workout 10 or day 10 of the Fat X program.

First of all I want to thank you for making these videos available for free.  I've gone through the first 9 days and I was amazed when I stepped on the scale and weighed myself today.  I have already lost 6 lbs and per your advise I also took measurements and I'm down about one inch around my belly area.  My question is about workout video 10.  I use a set of dumbbells that are adjustable and I was wondering if there was another way I could do this workout since I only have the one set and would have to change the weight each time.
Thanks,
Jamie



I have a dumbbell set available to me so that's what I use in my workouts and it's what I used to demonstrate the workout in the video, but remember that weight is weight, you don't necessarily need to use dumbbells for weight or resistance.  You can also use water bottles, sand bags, canned food or anything else you can think of that would add resistance.  I actually use sandbags a lot with my clients.  I'll have them do the squats by holding or hugging the sandbag in front of them.

You've probably seen or heard of kettle bells.  They've been marketed as this great tool to workout with.  The truth behind kettle bells is that the they were used by the russian army while exercising not because it was some special workout tool, but because it was just scrap metal laying around that added resistance to their exercises.  It was cheap and accessible so they implemented it into their workout routines. Anyway, just a little side note so that you don't limit yourself because of equipment limitations. Hope this helps and good luck.

When it comes to workout routines, there are plenty of them.  You can find them both offline and online.  With so many of them out there, it's hard to choose.  It becomes even more difficult to choose a workout routine because of the slick marketing and the continuous perpetuation of myths and misconceptions by the fitness industry which tends to place profit over truth.  In this post, I will help show you how to separate the good workout routines from the bad and why ROI is important. (Some fitness companies are not going to be happy with me.)

Advanced Tip for Better Workouts and Improved Results

Have you ever had a peanut butter and garlic sandwich?   Yeah, me neither! Peanut butter is delicious and so is garlic (used properly). But, while each is a good ingredient on its own, together they make for a disaster. You can view exercises and how they are implemented in a workout in the same way.  Think of exercises as ingredients. Exercises  can work well together like peanut butter and jelly, or, they can suck and waste your time and energy.   There’s a very important concept I learned many years ago that can improve your results, not only in fitness and any fitness goal such as fat loss, increasing strength, speed etc., but also in such things as cooking, music, art and many other realms of life.   What’s that concept?

Fat Burning Workout Program Day 3

By
This is one of my favorite fat burning workouts. It includes some of my favorite exercises. Don't let the pull ups intimidate you. You can use a pull down machine, or those rubber tubing exercise bands instead.   Included in this fat burning workout is one of the best, if not the best total abs exercise. It really works the abs hard and my clients usually have a love hate relationship with it. I call it the spin crunch, you'll see it towards the end of the free fat burning workout video..
