The most common exercise myths that never die!
I get endless amounts of questions from people asking me what type of workout works best and how much needs to be done to achieve fat loss. Lets face it, most gym members participate in unproductive exercise programmes that they endlessly seem to do year after year without achieving results. They hope of waking one day with the body of their dreams. They put their heart and soul into the same programme without ever changing it one iota. The absence of learning or trying different training principles will never work in the long run. Also copying what the latest celebrity is doing or puts their name to won’t work either.
The most common myth that never dies is that lengthy cardio training will shift unwanted body fat. I have years of experience witnessing the lack of results people achieve doing such workouts. I also have dozens of opinions through research and personal experience to back it up. People often turn to me for advice after wasting years doing similar programmes. If you go into any gym in the world you are guaranteed to see members beating themselves up on the cardio equipment, now if you were to go back a year later you would likely see the same members on the same machines doing the same workout with still the same body shape. But this time they will look even more tired and stressed if they haven’t already quit through a lack of results.
People don't understand that exercise is a stress to the body and doing more exercise than the body can cope with breaks the body down together with health. The body needs to be in a stress free state to build muscle or lose body fat effectively. There isn’t any relationship between training duration and achieving results. The type of exercises you perform and the intensity of the workout will also determine if you get results or not.
The advantage of resistance training for fat loss over traditional cardio training out weighs the other by far. Done a certain way resistance training will create a cardiovascular response, killing two birds with one stone and saving heaps of time. One of the numerous benefits includes the functional benefit, which has a carry over effect to daily living and most sports. More importantly it will shape the body making it more aesthetically pleasing at the same time as building lean muscle tissue and strength.
Traditional cardio exercises don’t have enough resistance to create an increase in lean muscle. Anything that increases lean muscle tissue is good news for both men and women; more muscle means a faster metabolism and a lower body fat percentage. You can get very strong and lean without looking like a bodybuilder. One more thing worth mentioning is that resistance training will elevate the metabolism for longer after a workout compared to traditional cardio exercise.
Workouts should be intense and short; whatever method you use it should keep your heart rate elevated and breathing increased whilst resting between exercises or circuits. Workouts should also be structured and directed towards your goals. Neglecting rest outside the gym can have a negative side effect to fat loss too. It is just as important as the workout in order to progress and reach your goal. Rushing around stressed all day will do you no good especially if you are training the same day. How can you train hard if your body hasn’t rested from the last workout or your mind is focused on stressful issues?
Finally don’t reward workouts with a treat, could you imagine giving a recovering alcoholic a bar job and paying them with free drinks from behind the bar, it wouldn’t work, neither does eating junk food after a workout for someone on a fat loss programme. Exercise doesn’t turn bad calories into good calories. The body needs the best nutrition at frequent times throughout the day for optimum fat loss. Yes there is room for a cheat here and there even if you do want to look your best, but going for a pizza on the way home from the gym is a recipe for getting nowhere.

The TV Fat Loss Workout
Exercises fit for a Couch Potato!
Finally there is a way to achieve fat loss without missing your favourite television show. I'm going to show you a way to exercise without leaving the house. No more excuses, this is the ultimate exercise plan for the couch potato.
You have always wanted a six-pack but there is just one problem that stands in your way, you are a self-confessed television addict. We are all aware that sitting on our backsides from dawn till dusk isn't what our bodies are designed to do. What follows is a system to break that habit without breaking your favourite lifestyle trend. The next time you get in from work and park yourself in front of the TV set until bedtime you have to promise to yourself to do the following exercise recommendations as described below. Remember there is nothing wrong with watching the TV if that's what you want to do, watching TV doesn't make people obese it is overeating and a lack of exercise.
The following recommendations can help jumpstart the metabolism and increase enthusiasm to help you want to create a stronger, healthier body without it interfering with your current lifestyle. This is what you need to do, choose a two-hour window you want to work in, typically the most watched programmes are half an hour long on an evening. There is nothing wrong with doing this exercise plan at anytime of the day as long as you stick to the following guidelines.
1. Perform a circuit before the first TV show of your 2-hour window begins.
2. Perform a circuit when the Ad break is on.
3. Perform a circuit when the TV show is ending.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for 2 hours.
This should work out so you are moving every fifteen minutes or so. You need to do enough exercise for about three minutes work on each of the circuits. The aim is to achieve between five and ten circuits in each two-hour window. Do these 5 days a week and you will burn more calories and tone the muscles whilst doing the same thing as you would normally be doing. In case you forgot what that is it’s sitting in front of the TV, whilst probably feeding your face with the wrong type of calories.
Here are some sample circuits
Circuit 1. Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds immediately followed by press-ups for 30 seconds
(Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 2. Static wall sit, hold for 30 seconds immediately followed by alternating lunges 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 3. Alternating Step Ups on to a Chair for 30 seconds immediately followed by chair dips for 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 4. Static wall sit, hold for 30 seconds immediately followed by a plank, hold for 30 seconds.
(Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 5. Bent leg raise with a pelvic tilt for 30 seconds work immediately followed by reverse crunches for 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).
Remember to stretch any tight muscles for around 20 seconds before and after your circuits. This could be done whilst watching the TV show so it doesn't interfere with any of the circuits. When designing an exercise programme there are millions of circuit options to choose from and more than one right way to do it. The best way is always the simplest way. If you opt for the simple way i.e. fewer exercises it will give you more focus on getting the technique correct.
After doing this for a few weeks your body's demand for proper nutrition to supply the energy needed for the extra work will be overpowering. Make sure you don’t neglect the most important ingredient for fat loss or you will never achieve the results you want.

The Main Drawback with Fat Loss Dieting
If something sounds too good to be true then it normally is!
The main drawback with someone on a diet is the mind; the mind can stand in the way of progress. At the front of a dieters’ mental consciousness is their relationship with calories and the bathroom scales. This can become a vicious circle and a recipe for failure.
Dieters imprison themselves at all levels so they can reach a constant flow of progress on the scales. This is tunnel vision dieting without any concern for anything but numbers. Clever marketing has tricked and got inside the heads of the venerable dieters to the extreme where nutritional health isn’t the priority anymore.
For years the dieting industry has used the low calorie approach to answer the obesity problem leaving the public with a very shallow understanding about nutrition. This has left a very sour taste in the mouth of many dieters whose progress has vanished in thin air instead of seeing excess body weight and fat disappear.
So what can potentially go wrong for a typical dieter? If the desired bodyweight is reached it is likely to be only temporary due to the unnatural dieting methods followed. This normally leads to a lifetime of yoyo dieting with body weight fluctuations and malnutrition.
The run of the mill low calorie dieting advice has led people to do things on gut feeling rather than on actual proven formulas. For example, if someone is not losing at a rate they desire they will either cut their calories to a dangerously low level and/or increase their exercise volume to compensate for a lack of progress. It becomes a battle that can’t be won resulting in more vulnerability towards worthless quick fixes.
If something sounds too good to be true then it normally is. It is essential to approach dieting with an open mind and great care must be taken when choosing whose advice to follow. Once a basic understanding about nutrition is achieved it is easy to pick out the proper advice from the ridiculous scams. The shelves of supermarkets and health food shops are full of diet foods connected to the biggest companies in the diet industry. No matter what it reads on the label if it contains ingredients you can’t pronounce or high amounts of sugar or sodium then it cant’ be helping you fight the fat can it? Remember knowing the basics can save you years of frustration and loads of money in the process.
I will finish this article by saying using the mirror or using a tape measure is far more better then getting weighed and living by numbers. What you see is what you get.

Breakfast Guidelines for Dieters - Don’t Skip or Rush Breakfast
The reasons why breakfast is important for fat loss!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for fat loss and weight loss. You should never miss this essential feeding time slot if you want to get rid of man boobs and achieve a six-pack or improve muscle tone or build lean body mass. It is equally as important for dieters as it is for the above goals; especially women who want to reduce fat from the belly and arms.
Breakfast means to break the fast from the nights sleep, why is this important? During sleep the metabolism (the rate the body burns calories) slows down because of the lack of demand needed for calories. The worst thing you can do is to prolong the fasting and keep the metabolism running slow (the rate the body burns calories) by skipping breakfast. If you do this what chance do you have achieving fat loss results?
Proven by research
Research after research has proven time and time again that eating breakfast will help achieve more fat loss and weight loss for dieters, but it doesn’t stop there. The sooner you feed the muscles with quality nutrients the better, you need regular feeds to fuel and maintain as much lean body mass as possible to help keep the metabolism fire burning.
Why is this important?
Muscle has a greater calorie demand than body fat. Skipping breakfast will teach your body to store fat and rob fuel from the muscles causing them to break down and lower the rate your body burns calories. Some women get scared with any mention of muscle or maintaining muscle mass through eating smart and resistance training because of the misconceptions attached to it. It is easily achievable to get very strong and eat loads of clean calories and still lose fat if done correctly.
Setting your appetite
What if you haven’t got an appetite first thing on a morning? Don’t worry, I teach my clients to break it down if this is the case. You could start with setting your first goal so you eat breakfast before 10am every morning. Then during the weeks ahead try and bring the time closer to a more convenient time soon after rising. You should aim to get 25% of your daily calories at breakfast. It may seem like a lot at first but it is the best and only way to jump-start the metabolism for quicker fat loss results.

The Consequences Associated with Low Calorie Diets
7 Reasons why low calorie diets don’t work!
Did you know you have to eat to lose weight? You need calories to burn calories or your metabolism will slow down (metabolism is the rate your body burns calories). Following are consequences associated with skipping meals and not eating enough calories.
1. You don’t learn anything from dieting. All you learn is how to imprison yourself for months and even years. Nutrition is a lifestyle that needs to be taught so it can be applied for a lifetime!
2. You increase the number of fat storing enzymes each time you diet.
3. You decrease the number of fat burning enzymes each time you diet and create an increase in the size of fat cells.
4. You decrease lean body mass and basal metabolic rate. Each diet makes it harder to restore normal basal metabolic rate.
5. You create insulin and blood sugar handling problems, which most of the time creates fat storage and hypoglycemic symptoms = cravings!
6. With dieting which is a stress, more cortisol is released. When cortisol goes up, insulin goes up to protect the body. Both of these are converted to glucose and into fat = fat storing hormones.
7. Most people decrease the amount of good fat when dieting. Fat deficiency causes fat cravings, the kinds of fat you find in junk food.
The 7 reasons above are pretty scary. You can’t influence Mother Nature, in other words no matter how hard you try to drop a dress size or transform the way you look you can’t do it by reducing calories because evolution didn’t build us this way.
Low calorie diets also cause many people to be MAL-nourished, even obese people. If you are MAL-nourished how can you expect to be healthy and look good? Even when on low calorie diets, if you live on processed foods it can cause toxic overload for the liver and make it difficult if not impossible to digest essential nutrients when you do finally put them in your mouth.
It is essential to detox and eliminate processed foods from your diet. The body needs nutrients from a cross section of natural foods to be healthy and work at an optimum level. Once your body begins to assimilate nutrients you need less food because the body is sending signals telling your brain that you are satisfied. Failing this you will get hungry even whilst eating large amounts if it’s the wrong food. If you get hungry you eat even more, if you eat more food you won’t lose weight and reduce fat from the places you want.

FAT – Gone in 60 Seconds! Quick Guide to Achieving FAT LOSS
7 Big reasons why you may be fat!
Below is a 60 second guide to what to avoid for quick fat loss. It doesn’t cover the A to Z of fat loss but there are some very important reasons why people gain fat.
1. Did you know eating processed food and junk food will make you fatter no matter how much exercise you do!?!
2. Eating processed foods makes you want to eat excessive calories because your body searches for nutrients that isn’t in the food and this makes you feel hungry soon after.
3. Eating the wrong kind of calories in the wrong combination makes you pile on fat. Combining proteins with the correct types of carbohydrates in the correct ratio is the only way to stop your body becoming a fat magnet.
4. Our bodies aren’t designed for sedentary lifestyles therefore exercise is an important factor for fat loss. But the wrong kind can be counterproductive.
5. Not managing stress levels causes hormones to switch from repair mode to breakdown mode. In other words different kinds of stresses helps you to store fat.
6. Deprived sleep causes hormones to be out of flux. Get to bed on time or you risk stalling any fat loss attempts. If you find it difficult to sleep try meditation before bed or stretching, yoga or tai Chi, all are great ways to wind down and help prepares the body and mind for a sound sleep.
7. Stimulants such as coffee and alcohol must be avoided if you want quick fat loss, they both cause fat storing hormones to be released into the blood. As soon as you consume them they have a sugar effect inside the body.
