They teach you to “Just Say No” when you are in school, so why have you forgotten to say NO to boring cardio when you’re trying to lose weight?
If you REALLY want flat abs and you REALLY want the body of your dreams then you need to get away from spending hours upon hours just running on the treadmill.
The most effective type of cardio for weight loss and endurance is Interval Training. With interval training you are not only going to see results faster, but you can cut your time at the gym in half!
What is interval training? Will it really work? Listen and find out….
Have you done what you need to ahead of time to guarantee you reach your weight loss goals?
What happened when you were in school and you had a big test – did you study a week in a advance? a few days? or the night of?
Working towards your weight loss goals is similar to preparing for a test, but a lot more fun! As simple as it sounds, planning ahead is a big part of losing weight. If you aren’t prepared, its a lot easier to slip up and make choices that won’t help you in the long run.

Yes, Broccoli is easily the SIMPLEST and one of the HEALTHIES vegetables for you.
Why should I eat broccoli? [singlepic=7,200,200,,right]
- Contains Vitamin A and C
- Good source of calcium for those non-dairy folks out there
- AWESOME source of Fiber
- Helps to prevent various disease (increases the activity level of enzymes in our body that help fight cancer causing agents)
How to cook Broccoli?
- Easiest way – Steam it! Put some water in a pan, put the broccoli in, let the water boil a bit (not for too long because you don’t want to lose all the nutrients!), drain the water – and YUMMY!
- If you want some flavor – add some spices – easiest and healthiest option – a little bit of lemon juice and some pepper
Add broccoli to your lunch, dinner or if you like it so much have it for one of you mid-day meals! Get over the hatred you had for this little green vegetable as a kid…each bite of broccoli takes you one day closer to reaching your fitness goals!
(This article points out one of the most important aspects of weight loss success – diet. If you are not seeing the results you want, and you are spending hours at the gym – take a careful look at what you are eating.)
This reality regarding your weight loss won’t change in your lifetime! If it does, we’re in trouble. These days, we need information we can trust and you can take the next reality we’re about to discuss and lock it away deep within the vault because it’s not going to change any time soon:
The most important part of your weight loss and fitness plan should be your food.
Let’s paint a picture for you. Often, you’ll see 2 athletes that play the same position in a given sport and both are able to perform at the same high level. Both are about the same size and ability however, there’s one thing that separates the two.
One athlete has a nicely defined physique while the other, though they may have the same size frame in general, is more undefined and has a softer outer shell and is carrying a bit more fat.
The reason for this difference is almost always food. One athlete is carrying a bit extra because of slightly poorer food choices while the other is making slightly better food choices. Thus, the athlete making the better food choices isn’t carrying any extra weight, they’re only carrying the lean tissue they need. This shows off their frame more so than the athlete who’s not making the optimal food choices.
Here’s another great way to understand the incredibly positive impact food can make on your physique.
You probably already know it’s a good idea to eat 5-6 medium sized healthy meals a day for optimal health and weight maintenance. That being said, let’s just assume we’re going to aim for 5 meals a day (3 main meal and 2 snacks in between).
With that in mind, that means you have 35 chances to trim, tighten and shed unwanted fat and add lean long muscles to your thighs, arms, and glutes! Even if you workout 7 days a week that doesn’t even come close to how many chances you get with your food to improve your fitness.
Now of course I don’t mean to say that physical activity isn’t important, I simply wish to illuminate the awesome power hidden in your food intake and I want you to enjoy the rapid changes it can bring about.
Think about it, you never hear anyone say “I exercised like mad but I still ate junk food”…it just doesn’t work! If you want to exercise a lot, you’re still going to have to eat fairly well or you’re not going to have energy and you’re not going to feel very well while you’re exercising if you eat poorly. So, it all comes back to your food.
Take a look at where your food’s at and start tracking how many total, good and bad meals you have in a given week. Each subsequent week, you can try to beat your score form the previous week.
