The Big Fatloss Hormone Secret and The Workout To Get Started

" In the past, I've mentioned supersets being effective simply because they save you time - and that results didn't depend on your heart rate (even though it gets jacked with supersets).

But recent research suggests another reason for the effectiveness of supersets - and that's the increase in the fatloss hormone called Growth Hormone. GH, is one of the hormones in your body that increases fat burning. It's also one of the most popular scam supplements that you hear about in spam email.

So why is GH the big fatloss hormone secret you need to know more about? Because everyone calls GH "the Fountain of Youth". It's supposed to make you lose fat and apparently make you look and feel younger...(and it must work - I was 'accused' repeatedly in NZ and Australia of being only 25 years old - almost 7 years younger than I really am - must be the TT lifestyle).

And that's why it doesn't surprise me that both...

Interval training and high-intensity resistance training have both been shown to increase the fatloss hormone, GH.

But now for some bad news...a recent study (from JCEM, 91: 678-, 2006, for any science nerds) showed that obese men burn fewer calories and have less of the post-exercise fatloss hormone GH than normal men. And the obese men also had higher cortisol levels (cortisol is the fat storing hormone), AND the obese men burned fewer calories in the post-exercise period. That's a triple-yikes!

Three strikes against obese men...and possibly why some guys have a heck of time losing fat in the first place. Their hormones are out of whack to begin with - so its harder for their bodies to burn fat.

If you turn to a low-fat diet and lots of cardio, you aren't going to get the fat burning GH response that you would if you eat according to Dr. Chris Mohr's TT fat loss guidelines and if you use TT workouts that incorporate the powerful fatloss hormone secret.

A - The Warm-up

We use three bodyweight exercises done in a circuit. This is a much better way to prepare for training than by walking slowly on a treadmill.

B - The Strength Training Supersets

This can be as little as one brilliant superset (DB squats + DB presses) if you have only 10 minutes, or up to 4 supersets if you want to spend 30 minutes on your TT Strength Training. (This is the fatloss hormone secret that TT exploits to blast fat quickly).

C - Intervals

Bodyweight circuits, stationary bike intervals, or running on the treadmill or outside, these are just a few of the ways we can do intervals for 10-20 minutes.

We don't need 40 minutes of slow cardio, or even 40 minutes of intervals. There is still a lot to learn about interval training, but...

Most research is using only 20-minute interval workouts to get much-better-than-longer-cardio results.
