Fat X 101 - Basic Warm-up

A proper warm-up can set you up for a great metabolism boosting workout.  If you're trying to get fit and lose fat effectively and efficiently, we don't just want good workouts, we want great workouts!  

 Warm-ups can be boring, at least that's how I saw them when I was younger, but as I get older, I really am finding the importance in warming up properly.  I've created a basic template that makes warming up a bit more fun, useful and keeps it from being boring. Here's one of my basic set ups.  It's four exercises done for 30 seconds each in circuit form.  The circuit is performed three times for a total of a 6 minute warm up.  I've found that's the sweet spot for most people.  Anyway, check out the video demo.  Below the video I'll go over some specifics.  






I've created this 4 exercise 30 second template to keep the action moving, get the blood flowing and major joints lubricated.  I've found it works great.  This warm-up period is also a great time to work on breathing and keeping your core tight. 

 I would suggest getting a timer app to make it easy to follow.  

 As I mentioned in the video, if you're a beginner just getting into fitness, this "warm-up" can actually be a workout for you.  Just make it a bit longer.  I would suggest going through the circuit 10 times which would make it a low impact 20 minute workout.

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..
