Fat Burning Workout Tips And Tricks

For a sexy female body,

1) Ditch the Lame Warm Up

Skipping rope and performing calisthenic exercises like jumping
jacks work the entire body, and prepare you neurologically for the
workout to come. This will allow you to get more out of each
workout.

2) Don't Be Afraid to Lift Heavy

I insist that all my female clients spend at least 2 days per month
dedicated to heavy lifting (75% of 1RM in certain cases).


3) Fight Hormones with Hormones

Use the power of lactic acid to locally attack stubborn
estrogen-based fat storage patterns.

4) Increase Training Density

Doing more work in less time has a number of incredible benefits:
increasing the rate of fat loss, aerobic and anaerobic training,
and an increase in work capacity.

5) Focus on your Assets

When it comes to squatting for your booty, go wide. For lunges, go
deep.


And for MEN,

1) Focus on Building an X-Shaped Physique

An X-shaped physique means: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and
strong, well-developed calves.

2) Push Less, Pull More

We should focus more on the muscles of the upper back: latissimus
dorsi, teres major, trapezius, et al. These muscles, developed
correctly, will help pull your shoulders back, helping to create
the broad shouldered look that men find powerful and women find
attractive.

To prevent imbalances and help to create such a look, try to
maintain a 3:2 ratio of pulling exercises to pushing exercises.

3) Lift Heavy at Least 4 Days per Month

To achieve the increases, my clients all have at least 1 day per
week dedicated to lifting near maximal loads. In addition to the
aforementioned benefits, heavy training also leads to strength
increases, which has obvious implications for training in the
future.

4) Mix Up Your Training

For the purposes of getting lean, exposing yourself to consistently
changing stimulus is an excellent way to ramp up metabolism and
consistently increases the processes by which fat loss is made
possible.

5) Tame Your Hormones

To aid in shedding the love handles and creating a body worth
seeing naked, there are a few ways to improve insulin management
via supplementation and diet. More details on the blog...
