Burn 1000 Calories in this 60 minute Workout!

I want to talk with you today about "Burst Training" and how many fat calories you will burn off doing this type of workout.

Losing weight and body fat is all about burning off unwanted calories, and there are workouts that help you do that better than many others.

My Burst Training workouts are by far some of the best types of workouts there are for burning fat calories like crazy and do it in a very short amount of time.

In the video above, one of my clients had on a calorie counter and kept track of her burn status during this workout. After a 60 minute session she burned over 1000 calories. Honestly, that's hard to do in 60 minutes with any type of workout. But with Burst Training, it's VERY possible!!

Burst Training is a combination of 5-10 powerfull movements that combine both strength and cardiovascular fitness. You simply go through these few exercises, then keep repeating them. Each set is a short burst of high intese, high energy calorie burning!

Many times a combination of different types of movements, such as a squat and press will burn even more calories. So combining two or three exercises into one is even better.

Check out this video and see how it works.

Liz Listens To My Newsletter...To The Extreme!

In my last newsletter I talked about getting out of your comfort zone. One of my clients, Liz, read it and got pretty inspired, and took what I said very literally and to the extreme. Liz is definately getting out of her comfort zone. Watch the video to see what she has done.

It's not always extreme sporting events that gets you to that uncomfortable state of mind. I just want you to put yourself in uncomfortable situations. It doesn't always have to be the this extreme, but hey, Liz is becoming a new woman for doing this. I give her a lot of credit! She has a goal and is motivated to change. Great job Liz!

What can you do to get out of your comfort zone?

Grow Emotionally Before Physically

The moment you let yourself settle for anything less than better is the moment you let yourself down.



It's very hard to push yourself to where you want to be in life. It's scary. It's a place we are not comfortable with. It's a time in our lives where we have doubt.

On the other hand, think of all the good that can come from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Doing things that we don't think we can is the best feeling in the world. Take sky diving for example. Not many people will ever have the courage to do something like that. But the fact is, many people have done this before you and me, and many of those people didn't think they could. Many of these people were completely out of their comfort zone. But they did it, and even though they were scared to death (literally), they still did it, and were just fine after it was over. And I'm almost sure that after they were done, most of them said, "I want to do that again".

It's the thrill of going through the experience, the build-up, the battle, the time fighting yourself and your courage. It's not about the end result, but totally about the change you personally go through emotionally during the climb to get there.

Take yourself out of your comfort zone in order to grow as a person. If you don't change mentally, the physical part probably won't happen. Getting yourself out of your comfort zone really helps you change emotionally, and fast.
