What if I told you there is a way you can burn more calories and spend less time in the gym. You would think this is one of those infomercials right with some bull gadget or magic pill. Nope, I am talking about High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).
With High Intensity Interval Training you can burn more while spending less time in the gym. I will explain how you can get the best results from HIIT.Burn more fat by doing less cardio? How can this be. Well, with High Intensity Interval Training (also known as HIIT) you can do just that, burn more fat while spending less time in the gym. I must warn you this isn’t the type of training where you can do 30 minutes and read your book. So put the book down and let’s get to work! It’s HIIT time!
I am sure you have heard that in order to burn more fat you need to do 20-60 minutes of cardio. You can do 3 hours of cardio but if you do not increase the intensity level you are setting yourself to fail. Don’t just go through the motions. Yes, doing 20-60 minutes will burn fat but why not get the most out of your training.
A typical HIIT session should only last you from 15-30 minutes because of the intensity. The key is burning the most amount of calories in a short period of time.If you train this way then you will raise your body’s metabolism throughout the entire day!
Why is that good? Well the more calories that you burn in a day, the more weight you are able to lose. That is just what you want to hear if you are trying to lose weight. Even if weight loss is not your goal, HIIT is for you. High Intensity Interval Training will provides a more effective workout in much less time! Everyone can benefit from HIIT cardio.
I use Turbofire as my HIIT training and I have really seen a big difference in my body and In my runs. HIIT training makes regular cardio so much easier. If you have never tried HIIT training now is the time to start adding it in and replace your normal cardio routine. Workout less and get better results. sounds like a Win to me.

Diet vs a Lifestyle Change what's the difference?
WWW.BEACHBODYCOACH.COM/BIONUT
I have had many conversations with people about the word diet and lifestyle change. First let me share with you the difference between the two works.
Diet is A regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one’s weight to eat and drink according to a regulated system, especially so as to lose weight or control a medical condition.
Lifestyle Change is modifying or eliminating long-held habits of eating or physical activity and maintaining the new habits over months and years.
I did not go on a diet. In my mind a diet has finality and once you are done you go back to your regular eating habits and you gain the weight back.On the other hand a life style change is where you take the time to look at your lifestyle and evaluate what you want to change about your life. Then you get the information to help you make those changes. Once you have the information you apply it to your life and you then make a lifestyle change.
America is the most Obese country in the world and we are only getting fatter and fatter. All this Fat is causes many health issues like heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes. My hope is that you make a change before you are diagnosed with something that forces you to make change.
Making a lifestyle change also needs to be slow so you allow your body and mind to get use to a new way of thinking and eating. You learn to change the relationship you have with food to a healthier one. The key to managing a lifestyle change is to eat in moderation. Make healthy choices whenever possible and limit yourself to a few bites of foods you just can’t resist. If you incorporate 5 to 6 small meals a day you won’t feel deprived. You will also keep your metabolism moving.

Making a lifestyle change also means including daily exercise. This should be intentional as well as generally being more active throughout the day. It does not mean you have to spend hours at the gym each day to achieve permanent weight loss. Strength training 3 to 4 times a week along with 30 minutes of cardio every other day is all you really need to do in order to reach your goals!!

Consistency, Commitment and Patience will Prevail in Achieving Results

Consistency, Commitment and Patience will Prevail in Achieving Results
Achieving results for your weight loss, fitness and health goals can be frustrating, especially if you want instant gratification. Just like anything worth having, consistency, commitment, and patience will prevail!
Here are a few thoughts I want to share with you to help keep you motivated and successfully achieve your goals.
1. DON'T RELY ON YOUR SCALE TO SEE WEIGHT LOSS. Depending on the type of workout you are doing, you may be gaining muscle, which weighs more than fat and takes up less space. Rather than letting the scale discourage you, test your body fat, use a tape measure to track inches lost in different areas of your body, and notice how your clothes fit to track progress. Inches lost and more toning equals success!
Remember that while you are exercising and your body is adapting to the change, you may be holding more water weight. As your body is learning to store the carbohydrates(glycogen) to fuel your workouts, more water is needed to store and break down the glycogen.
2. CONSUME THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CALORIES FOR YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL AND GOALS. You will need proper fuel to keep up with your metabolism and workout routine. Finding a balance with the proper combinations of food groups and portion sizes to support your body's needs will enable best performance and give you the results you want. Increased activity may lead to increased appetite. Focus on the quality of calories and keep a detailed food journal. Everything you eat counts. Severely restricting calories will slow down your metabolism and you won't burn fat as quickly. Your best bet is to consume lots of vegetables, up your protein and limit your grain intake, and drink a lot of water to begin your weight loss journey. If you need help with a meal plan, Team Beachbody Club Membership offers online customized meal planning. Beachbody fitness programs come with a nutrition guide to follow for success. If you need help, contact me at bradfordjob@aol.com or visit my website at www.beachbodycoach.com/bionut.
3. VARIETY IN YOUR WORKOUTS WILL HELP YOUR MUSCLES CHANGE AND KEEP YOU MOTIVATED. Switch up your exercise routine so you don't become bored and your muscles keep changing. One of the best things about Beachbody's fitness programs is that they follow a sequence to give you the best results. All you have to do is follow the program guide and push "play" on your DVD player. I began my Beachbody adventure with the P90X program. I loved the muscle confusion philosophy and quickly saw results. After P90X, I added Brazil Butt Lift and Hip Hop Abs for some variety. I knew it was time for TurboFire, when I wasn't feeling motivated anymore from my routine. TurboFire instantly brought back my love for exercise with its high intensity, crazy energy, and motivating music and moves. I recently finished the 12 week program and now have added the advanced TurboFire workouts. Next, I plan on continuing on with Insanity. There are many hybrid programs available combining Beachbody fitness programs to make it unique for you.
4. ALLOW TIME TO SEE RESULTS AND MAKE IT A LIFESTYLE. It may take your body several weeks to respond to your eating and fitness routine and start showing you results. Keep consistent every day and commit yourself to a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of exercise are not just physical. Your attitude will become happier, simple tasks will become easier, the way you treat people will be better, your mind will have more focus and so much more. Change your body, change your attitude, change your life!
Certain medications may affect your ability to lose weight. If you are on track with your nutrition and exercise and have allowed enough time to see results, but still aren't achieving success, it may be time to consult your doctor
