Sorry for the inconvenience....


In today's blog, I wanted to quickly share some of the MAJOR fat loss techniques I regularly incorporate into my Arizona personal training sessions.

Before I can touch on these fat burning principles, I want you to understand that losing body fat is hard work!

Nothing angers me more than seeing these phony infomercials or "hypey" ads that show sexy fitness models smiling as they pretend to use whatever product or service is being marketed....to apparently sculpt their perfect physiques.

The truth is that they probably never actually used this product or service to get in amazing shape....and if they did, you can bet they were working a lot harder than the advertisement would suggest!

To burn fat you must expend a significant amount of energy. This cannot be accomplished while talking on your cell phone, reading a magazine, smiling, or acting in any other manner that limits intensity.

With that being said, let's look at some key factors that must be included in any successful strength training workout that is designed to melt away body fat:

-> create A TON of lactic acid

-> create an oxygen debt

-> use mainly compound and functional exercises that are practical to everyday life

-> keep the weights as HEAVY as possible

-> keep the rest periods SHORT (30 seconds is ideal...any shorter and you may sacrifice intensity during your sets)

-> use a maximum of 8 to 10 reps

-> keep the volume and length of workout slightly higher than non-fat burning workouts

-> perform total body workouts and super-set opposing muscle groups

-> slow down lifting tempos to provide greater time under tension for your muscles (ie instead of lowering the weight in 1 second, try slowing the lowering phase to 3 seconds, then pause 1 second and return to starting position)

-> train while FATIGUED and get out of your comfort zone

There you have it! If any of these fat-burning principles are currently absent from your weight training sessions, try implementing immediately to see faster results.
