Three Ways To Work Off the Christmas & New Year Flab

Okay, so 2011 is done and gone by the way side. It was what it was, so now let's move on! You might have put on some extra pounds in the last year, especially over the past month and a half during the holiday season.

Here are three ways for you to work off that flab that you are fed up with and no longer want on your body.

First, exercise is key. In order for you to lose fat and not muscle you must get a combination of resistance training and cardiovascular training in at a minimum of three times per week. A simple Burst Training routine will take care of both of those at the same time. No need to spend hours on the treadmill. No need to spend hours on strength machines. Just a 30 minute burst training routine will benefit you more than any other workout I know when it comes to burning fat off your body.

As a fitness professional, I highly recommend everyone do this in a professional setting, such as a group class, or in a personal training setting, simply for the accountability alone. I offer a 21 Day Trial to try it out. Most places have a trial of their own. Take advantage of these.

Second, proper eating is vital when it comes to losing fat. There are two main things I look for nutritionally. One, are you eating breakfast? This is by far the most important meal of the day because it gets the metabolism reved up and burning more calories throughout the entire day. Without breakfast, your metabolism is at a snails pace. Two, are you eating every few hours throughout the day? Your metabolism will slow down if it does not have enough fuel to burn those unwanted calories. You wouldn't drive a car without putting gas in it would you? Simply eat every three hours all day long starting the moment you wake up.

Third, even if you are eating perfectly all day, everyday, you are still not even close to getting what your body needs to maintain a quality of life you want. This is why you take supplements. I'm not talking weight loss pills, or fat burning diets drinks. I'm talking about supplements to support your healthy eating habits. I highly recommend AdvoCare supplements because they are in my opinion the best products on the planet. I have them in my studio, I use these products everyday, and my wife and kids even use AdvoCare products. Use them. Your body will thank you for it.
