How To Lose Fat - 5 Fatloss Secrets That Helped Me Lose 30 Pounds of Ugly Fat
Confused about how to lose fat? Stuck on a plateau and not sure why you can't seem to lose fat no matter how hard you workout or how clean you eat. I know exactly how frustrated you are right now. Having been stuck on a plateau for nearly 6 months (10 years ago) and on the verge of ripping my hair out I started looking for fatloss solutions that work for real people instead of advice intended for bodybuilders. Here are 5 how to lose fat secrets from Turbulence Training creator Craig Ballantyne that worked for me and will work for you too.
How To Lose Fat Secret #1: Focus On Burning Carbs Not Burning Fat
According to CB this tip "Sounds backwards, right? But not when you look at how I structure my workouts. Remember that Turbulence Training focuses on resistance training and interval training. Both of these use carbohydrate as the main source of energy. So it's obvious the workout is designed to burn carbohydrates during the training session.I have no interest in you trying to train in your target heartrate zone for fat burning, aka - "the fat burning zone". The whole idea of a fat-burning zone is an over-simplified idea of how the body works during exercise. Leave the inefficient fat burning zone to the mis-educatedtrainers in the commercial gyms that not surprisingly, also want to sell you a heart rate monitor so you can stay in your fat burning heart rate zone. If you want to get the most results in the least amount of time,focus on burning carbohydrates, not fat. Why do my fat loss workouts focus on burning carbohydrate rather than fat? In order to burn more calories after the workout, that's why. When you exercise with intervals and heavy resistance training, your body uses more calories in the hours after exercise than it would if you did traditional cardio and lighter weights. I call it Turbulence but by any name it gives you the same results which are maximum improvements in your body composition (helping you lose fat while gaining lean toned muscle).
How To Lose Fat Secret #2: Vary Your Rep Ranges
"In order to train more muscle fibers and burn more carbohydrates, I have clients use a range of repetitions within the same workout. My Turbulence Training workouts now use 6, 8, and 12 reps per set in order to work the muscles the most effectively.This will burn more carbohydrates and promote as much muscle growth as possible when you are keeping the calories low." Watch the video here to see me doing an entire TT Fatloss Workout from start to finish. Some of the exercises in this workout are timed while others are for varied rep ranges. This is one of THE most important variables to manipulate for fatloss.
How To Lose Fat Secret #3: Use The Bike for Intervals
"Try a stationary bike for intervals whenever possible because cycling against a resistance can help maintain muscle mass.Cycling against a resistance also allows you to perform a large amount of mechanical work, and that is a key determinant of the Turbulence in my training. But please note: don't use low-intensity, fast pedaling spinning intervals. Resistance based intervals are more effective for fat loss. My clients only cycle against a strong resistance in their intervals." I used Craig's tip while working at a commercial gym and it's pretty awesome. I did my bike intervals at 7 a.m. after I had trained two clients and had a one hour break before all the rest of my clients would come in but I know not everybody has access to a bike so try some outdoor stair workouts or my sandbell fatloss workout video. They work just like CB's bike intervals because they're resistance based.
How To Lose Fat Secret #4: Increase Meal Frequency
"Okay, so this isn't really a secret to anyone that has read aboutfat loss. But a 2005 study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating 6 times per day was associated with eating fewer calories per day, lowering cholesterol levels, and lowering post-meal insulin levels.Combine an increased meal frequency with an adequate protein and fiber intake, and you'll see your body composition improve rapidly."
How To Lose Fat Secret #5: Use Synergistic Workouts
"Synergistic strength training interval workouts are efficient and effective, and your workout is over in under an hour. Here are some tips that you can use for an advanced training phase. Use these tips for 2 weeks then return to your normal training schedule:1. Add 10 seconds to each interval but maintain the intensity. 2. Add in some bodyweight circuits (10-20 minutes per day) done in the morning or evening (if you do your regular workout in the AM, do your bodyweight circuits after diner; otherwise, do the bw circuits first thing in the AM, and then do your regular workout at lunch or later in the afternoon or evening). If you are advanced, you can use squats, pushups, and bodyweight rows for your circuit. If you are a beginner, you could use lying hip extensions, modified pushups, and stick-ups. 3. Add an extra set to each exercise in the first superset you doin each workout. Again, use these three tips for an advanced fat loss period of two weeks, then return to a normal training schedule and always stick to the best fat loss nutrition plan possible."
