Fat Loss Workouts for a Busy Gym

Gyms are busy. Too busy. And it is always busiest when you settle in for your fat loss workout with its awesome fat-blasting supersets.

I know it drives you nuts when you are trying to pair lunges and presses while someone is taking up valuable workout space chatting or doing some pointless fluff exercise. Why can't they just get out of your way and let you finish your super effective TT workout?

Crowded gyms are such a big problem that I designed the following TT workout that helps you perform my trademark "noncompeting" supersets - the most effective way to lift for fat loss - without letting anyone get in your way. This new version of TT lets you get it done right, even in a busy gym.

The secret to this workout is the pairing of two exercises that can be done at the same bench and often with the same weights. So you won't lose your spot between exercises. Camp out in your little area, work hard, and you'll get lean and lose fat faster than ever.

NOTE: This workout originally ran in Men's Fitness magazine, but I've actually improved the workout just for you!

Workout Guidelines

· Workout 3 days per week alternating between workouts A & B. Rest 1 day between sessions.

· In week 1, you will follow an A, B, A schedule. In week 2, a B, A, B schedule. In week 3, an A, B, A schedule, and in week 4, a B, A, B schedule.

· Each pair of exercises constitutes a "Superset". In each Superset, do one set of the first exercise followed immediately by the next (1A & 1B) and then repeat.

· Rest 1 minute after completing the exercises in the Superset (i.e. after 1A & 1B).

· Repeat each Superset until you've completed a total of three sets of each exercise in the pair, then move on to the next pair.

· Use a 2-0-1 lifting tempo for all exercises (except for any holding exercises like the plank). Take 2 seconds to lower the weight, pause briefly, and then take 1 second to lift the weight.

· Finish each workout with stretching for the tight muscle groups only.

· For full exercise descriptions and photos, see the Turbulence Training manual.

Warm-up

· If you are limited by time, reduce the number of sets in the workout, but always perform the full warm-up.

· Never skip a warm-up.

o Perform this circuit 2x's using a 2-0-1 tempo:

- 10 reps of bodyweight squats or step-ups

- 20 seconds for the plank

- 8 reps of kneeling pushups or regular pushups

- 10 reps of inverted bodyweight rowing exercise or band pull

- Perform 2 warm-up sets for each exercise in the first Superset.

- 1 set of 8 reps with 50% of the weight you will use in your "real" sets.

- 1 set of 8 reps with 75% of the weight you will use in your "real" sets.

Turbulence Training Interval Training Guidelines

· Research has shown that interval training is very effective for fat loss.

· It is recommended that the stationary cycle be used for interval training because it allows for an easy transition between work and recovery.

· Finish each interval workout with stretching for the tight muscle groups only.

Beginner Interval Workout:

· Warm-up for 5-minutes.

· Perform an interval by exercising for 30 seconds at a hard pace (at a subjective 7/10 level of intensity) - i.e. fast walking.

· Follow that with "active rest" for 90 seconds by exercising at a slow pace (at a subjective 3/10 level of intensity) - i.e. slow walking.

· Repeat for 3-6 interval repetitions. Finish with 5-10 minutes of moderate intensity exercise for a cool-down at a 4/10 level of intensity.

Advanced Interval Workout

· Warm-up for 5-10 minutes.

· Perform an interval by exercising for 30 seconds at a very hard pace (at a subjective 9/10 level of intensity).

· Follow that with "active rest" for 60 seconds by exercising at a slow pace (at a subjective 3/10 level of intensity).

· Repeat for 3-6 interval repetitions. Finish with 5-10 minutes of moderate intensity exercise for a cool-down at a 4/10 level of intensity.

Workout A

1A) Wide-stance Squat (8 reps)

- Rest 1 minute and then go back to Squats.

- Do this Superset 3 times and then move on to the next Superset.

2A) Barbell Step-ups (8 reps per leg)

- Use a step that's high enough so that your knee is bent 90 degrees.

- If you have to use DB's for the step-ups, take an extra 30 seconds rest when going from the step-ups to the rows.

2B) DB or Barbell Row (8 reps)

- Keep your lower back naturally arched.

- Rest 1 minute and then go back to Step-ups.

2A) DB Close-grip Chest Press (8 reps)

- Push the dumbbells straight up, not together.

2B) DB Rear-deltoid Lateral Raise (8 reps)

- Keep a tight arch in lower back and lean forward as far as possible.

- Perform this exercise extra slowly so that you don't use momentum.

- Rest 1 minute and then go back to 2A.

- Do this Superset 3 times and then move on to the next Superset.

3A) Elevated Push-up (12 reps per side)

- Place one hand on a 4-inch step or box and lower your body as far as possible.

3B) Stability Ball Rollout (15 reps)

Weight Loss: The Exercise Trap

Read anything about weight loss and you will see something about exercise. It might be referred to as "physical activity", but that's just a codeword. They mean exercise.

Actually, many people have tried exercise and given up on it because it just didn't seem to work for one reason or another. Here are some explanations of why someone might think that exercise ISN'T working, when it IS!

THE BEGINNING OF THE EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Exercise is activity, movement you might say. People have been moving all their lives, so they know how to do it, right? Well, if you are just talking about "getting some exercise", you might be right. However, if you are talking about exercise for the purpose of losing weight, things change a little.

At the beginning of a weight loss program, the person has probably been sedentary for some time and has experienced an overall deterioration in the body's ability to deal with, or react favorably to, physical activity. At this point, almost any activity above the normal level becomes "exercise" for this individual. Over time, the body will adjust to the new level of activity and assume a new homeostasis, or overall balance of physical ability, fat, muscle, body weight, and metabolism. It then becomes time to adjust the activity upwards in order to arrive at a new balance. Once an acceptable balance, usually a target weight, has been arrived at, the individual can change from a weight loss program to a weight maintenance program.

Unfortunately, people tend to be a little ignorant on the subject of exercise and sabotage themselves at the start of their weight loss program through several different mechanisms. Beginners usually:

  • Try to do too much


  • Don't do enough


  • Don't increase the level


  • Do the wrong exercises


  • Have unrealistic expectations


  • Don't understand what exercise is going to do

Some of these items cross lines, so it is difficult to talk about one without talking about another one or two. For example, if someone has unrealistic expectations, they may try to do too much or too little. If they do not understand what exercise is going to do, they may choose the wrong exercises. Most of these problems are directly related to ignorance about exercise. This is why, if you are interested in using exercise as part of a weight loss program, you either do a little studying on the subject, or get yourself a good personal trainer.

Let's briefly talk about the situations above.

TOO MUCH EXERCISE

This can cause you to fail in many ways. You can strain muscles, make yourself feel sick, or even injure yourself. After a day or two of too much exercise, your body and your brain will be screaming at you to "knock it off!" To be effective for weight loss, exercise should become a regular activity and if you are dreading the next workout, you will eventually find ways to avoid it altogether. You need to start small and build yourself up. This can create a problem also.

TOO LITTLE EXERCISE

As I mentioned above, for the sedentary individual, almost any activity will be classified as "enough exercise" at first. However, the body soon adapts to this small unit of activity and settles in at a new level, usually without really exhibiting much in the way of weight lost.

INCREASE THE LEVEL OF EXERCISE

Once the body has achieved its new level of "fitness" relative to the starting point, it becomes necessary to increase the intensity or duration of the exercise, or both. The person who starts out trying to run a marathon will fail. The person who starts out walking to the mailbox must eventually start walking past the mailbox and down the street, or they too will fail.

THE WRONG EXERCISES

Exercises can be divided roughly into three groups. In my high school days (don't ask how long ago) we would talk about strength, endurance, and flexibility. These days you hear things like resistance training, cardiovascular training... and flexibility. As pointed out, at the beginning, almost any movement will qualify for pretty near all three types. As you progress, you will have to separate out each and, for the purpose of overall health, give each its due. However, for weight loss, cardiovascular activities will probably give most people the most weight loss bang for their buck. Be aware that strength training will also benefit weight loss in the long run due to the formation of muscle tissue which can aid in burning calories.

UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

Exercise works, but it generally works from the inside out. While someone who is overweight may experience an initial weight loss, most of what is happening is going to take time. If you want to look in the mirror in a couple of days or step on the scale and see obvious evidence of weight loss, you are bound to be disappointed. You will have to accept the fact that even the most perfectly designed and executed exercise program is probably going to take weeks or even months to produce inspiring results. At the start, you may just have to keep going on faith. However, EXERCISE DOES WORK!

EXERCISE'S LITTLE SURPRISE

This actually happened to my wife. She was trying to lose weight and began exercising. A few days later, I could tell that she was experiencing benefits. She was more active, perkier, her complexion was glowing, she was walking around the house singing more than usual, and she looked "tighter" to me. One night we were talking, and she was going on and on in an excited way about how much looser her clothes were getting. In fact, they were getting so baggy; she was saying that she would have to go shopping for more. She was in a great mood when I left the room. A few seconds later, I heard her exclaim, "Oh no!" I stepped back into the room and she was crying.

She had stepped on the scale and her weight had GONE UP since the last time she had weighed herself.

Even though I had explained to her what was going to happen, like most people who have tried and tried to lose weight, her immediate reaction was that her exercise program "wasn't working." She felt like another promise had failed her.

We will leave aside the fact that everybody's weight fluctuates from day to day and from hour to hour. If you are checking your weight daily, you are setting yourself up for failure. If you MUST weigh yourself, do it once a month or even once every two months. If you have been eating properly during that time and doing your exercise, increasing it as you achieve each new level of ability, you will have lost at least a few pounds.

What got her, and a lot of other people, is a simple physiological process which was, in a few days, going to work in her favor. When someone who has NOT been exercising begins to exercise, they usually build some lean muscle mass and burn off some fat. Unfortunately, at first, the weight of lean muscle mass that is added is sometimes greater than the amount of fat that is lost. Therefore, someone may find that they are actually GAINING WEIGHT for the first few days or even weeks of their exercise program. In time, if the program is continued, the muscle mass will plateau, and the fat will continue to be burned and the weight will come down.

Remember how my wife was saying that her clothes were looser? That's because she was burning fat and adding lean muscle mass. The lean muscle takes up less space than the fat that has been burned. Even though she had gained weight, her body size was actually smaller...and she was healthier.

If you are going to start a weight loss program, make sure you learn a little bit about exercise and use that in addition to monitoring your nutritional intake.

Погрешности в подсчетах за тепло обходятся киевлянам в 700млн. грн за сезон

Депутат Киевсовета от Блока Кличко, в прошлом — гендиректор «Киевэнерго» и министр топлива и энергетики Украины Иван Плачков заявил, что тарифы на тепло в Киеве формируются по очень приблизительным подсчетам

«В Киеве нет приборов, позволяющих измерить количество выработанного тепла. Его считают приблизительно, по количеству использованного газа и показателям эффективности оборудования. Потом разделяют на общее количество квадратных метров жилья. Возникающие при этом подсчете погрешности обходятся киевлянам в 500-700 миллионов гривен за отопительный сезон», — объяснил Плачков.

Кроме этого, по словам депутата, киевляне получают 10-15% тарифной нагрузки из-за заложенных в цену завышенных нормативов.

«Потери тепла при транспортировке, расходы на содержание центральных тепловых пунктов, штатное расписание и зарплаты — все это заложено по максимуму, хотя на самом деле показатели ниже», — добавил депутат.

Food That Burns Fat

Food plays a vital role in the life of every human being. Eating the right food in the right quantities is the key to good health. A balanced diet will strengthen your immune system and provide energy to maintain the body cells and organs. Here comes the importance of burning excess fat and thereby shedding excess weight from our body. It is possible to purge the excess fat from the body with the help of some food items that are known as fat burning foods. The specialty of fat burning foods is that they burn more calories than amount of fat they contain. Many of these foods are also known as negative calorie foods and are natural plant products.

The role of fat burning foods in reducing excess weight makes them ideal for people of all ages as they stimulate metabolism and reduce localized fats. Burning more calories is indispensable for reducing excess fat from the body naturally. The best way you can do it is to make sure that you include enough of these natural fat burning agents in your daily diet. Many fruits and vegetables are having wonderful fat burning capabilities. Fruits like lemons, plums, apricot, strawberry, oranges, mango, watermelon, peaches etc. are very good examples. Vegetables of this category include cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, etc.

Green tea burners and diet supplements have been found to be very effective in lowering cholesterol so as to reduce the chances of stroke. By increasing the rate of calorie burning, green tea also helps in weight loss. It prevents teeth decay and soothes irritated skin. Researchers have identified the role of green tea in preventing cancer that it contains some anti-carcinogens.

A recent study reveals that dairy products including milk, cheese and yogurt are good fat burners. These products contain calcium that speeds up the breakdown of fat in fat cells. Drinking plenty of water every day will be helpful for the removal of toxins from the body. It also accelerates metabolism and boosts up the process of fat burning to a great extent.

It is important to include fat burning foods into your every day diet so that you can build a better and healthier lifestyle by eliminating excess fat from your body. Choose a few fat burning foods that suit your requirements and develop a reasonable eating plan that focuses on your personal needs. Try to include vegetables, fruits and cereals that are high in fiber like pears, apples, lima beans, sweet potatoes, barley, brown rice etc.
