Burn more leg fat with a bodyweight leg exercise circuit....
Bodyweight leg circuits is a tried and true method to burn more leg fat, increase strength/endurance and improve heart health.
Since this workout is circuit-style, you also get the benefit of a great cardio workout. Do each exercise (10-12 repetitions) one after the other with little or no rest between exercises. Rest 2-3 minutes and do the circuit 2 more times. Here is a good bodyweight leg circuit program:

Burn Fat With Bodyweight Cardio
Burn more body fat with bodyweight cardio. You don't need a treadmill, bike or elliptical machine to do your cardio exercise---just your body and some hard work...
You know that my favorite cardio exercise is sprint intervals on grass....many don't like sprinting for different reasons.....there's other bodyweight cardio exercises that you can do!
For instance, try rotating sets of step ups and lunges for 20 minutes.....that's you doing cardio with your body and that would be a tough, fat-burning cardio workout!
Because machines stabilize your body for you, bodyweight exercises help you develop strength that allows your body to stabilize itself. Bodyweight cardio will double as a strength and cardio workout so you maximize your time and get double benefit!
You don't need a treadmill or elliptical machine to do cardio exercise! All you need is 20 minutes, your body and an activity that you enjoy doing! Check out the link below to see my fat-blasting, bodyweight cardio workouts!

Don't Exercise With "No Pain, No Gain" Philosophy
The "no pain, no gain" exercise philosophy is a bad one to follow....if you are exercising with sharp pain in a body part, something is wrong! Don't ignore the pain!
Doing a weight (or resistance) exercise incorrectly can cause pain in your joints, back or other unintended areas. For example, the squat or lunge should primarily work and strengthen the gluteus maximus, quadriceps and legs in general. If you feel sharp or unusual pain or stress in your back or knees, this could signal injury or incorrect performance of the exercise. One good way to practice an exercise would be to perform it with little or no weights in order to perfect the movement.
I see too many of you limping around week after week in pain trying to exercise! You need to see a doctor or rest for a week or so to let the hurt area heal! That hurt knee will not get better if you keep exercising full blast like nothing's wrong!
Continuing to exercise with sharp pain does not mean you are tough....it means you're not very smart! One of the primary purposes of fitness is to help you avoid or lessen the risk of injuries.
Take care of that "bad wing" or "gimpy leg!" That means rest, see a doctor and/or work around the injured area (i.e., only do exercises that don't hurt the injured area).
Exercise smarter, not just harder!

Bodyweight Workouts Burn Fat Like Crazy
Burn body fat like crazy with bodyweight workouts! Bodyweight workouts use natural body motions that don't limit your natural range of motion like machine lifting does....
Bodyweight workouts allow you to develop strength that allows your body to stabilize itself. Also, no two people have the same exact motions.
My Fitness Hut's Fat Blaster Bodyweight 200, 300 and 400 Workout Books allow you to train in all 3 planes of motion (machines usually limit you to training in 1 plane of motion--sagittal)...
Doing bodyweight strength exercises will give you more calorie burn, more fat burn and will tone your body faster than doing the same exercises on machines!

Build Your Back Muscles
Build your back muscles to avoid injuries and keep your upper body in muscular balance. Many people put too much emphasis on the frontside of their bodies with exercises like bench press and ab exercises. Your back is an important part of your core muscles so don't ignore them.
Seventy to 80% of Americans have back pain (many times low back pain) at some point. The spine also needs to be protected. Here are some common back exercises that I do on a regular basis:
--single arm bentover row or seated row
--pullups or chinups
--back extension or superman back extension
--cobras, planks, superman and bridges
--lat pulldowns
--inverted rows
--deadlift, good mornings and squats
When you don't adequately strengthen your back muscles, you are affecting your pulling potential.
Remember, your back muscles can look good (or terrible) in the mirror too!

Fat-Burning Exercise: Squat-to-Curl-to-Press
A good fat-burning exercise is squat-to-curl-to-press (shoulder press)...you can use this exercise as a combination strength and cardio exercise. The exercise is done just like it sounds: squat, bicep curl and shoulder press (that is 1 repetition).
Any full body exercise will give you more fat-burning benefit than a seated exercise. For example, standing shoulder presses will give more fat-burning benefits than seated shoulder presses.
The squat-to-curl-to-press is also a compound strength exercise. These types of exercises work major muscle groups which helps build more muscle and burn more fat. You will also maximize your time during your workout (fewer exercises with maximum benefit). Doing too many single joint exercises like calf raises, bicep curls and tricep extensions is not a good use of time and you get little benefit for the amount of time spent.
The squat-to-curl-to-press will also work your core area. Keep your torso braced (like taking a punch to the gut) throughout the exercise.

Run Backward and Forward To Burn More Fat
Change up your cardio routine by running backward (back pedal) and forward....you will challenge your body in a different way and see more fat burning results...
Running backward (see picture above) and forward is an interval cardio routine that I do often. As a defensive back in college, I was running backwards, sideways and every other way all the time (trying not to get burned by the receiver)!
This is how it works (do this rotation 5 times without rest):
--back pedal 10 yards, fast (pump arms fast and lean shoulders over the feet)
--sprint forward 10 yards (keep your feet pumping between the transition from back pedaling to running)
--walk 1 minute between rotations
--do the rotation 9 more times (20 minutes total workout time)
Go for it! Burn more fat with backward and forward running interval cardio!

Marathoners Need Carbohydrates
Marathoners don't think carbohydrates are evil---they need large amounts of carbs during training, before events and even some carbs during the grueling event...
Yesterday, I talked about my friend Janet who is running in the Boston Marathon on Monday. Marathoners and triathletes run the risk of not eating enough and actually losing too much weight!
If you are training for a marathon primarily to lose weight, you need to be careful to eat enough to maintain energy and a healthy body. Eating enough carbs is a big part of your nutrition. It is possible to have a toned body and regularly run in marathons. So, focus on health and not weight loss.
Some runners use carbohydrate loading to help performance. Carbohydrate loading can remedy the problem of running out of energy (glycogen) during the marathon. You should start loading carbohydrates the week before the marathon. To make room for carbohydrate loading, you need to first deplete your carbohydrate stores. You do this by increasing daily protein and fat intake to make up for the decrease in carbohydrate intake (decrease carbs to 40%-50% of total calories). You will continue to do your normal training routine.
About 4 days before the marathon, you should increase carbohydrate intake to about 4.5 grams of carbs per pound of body weight. Avoid foods high in fat and taper off on your training to avoid depleting your glycogen stores. You should not train a day or two before the event.
Get your doctor's clearance before beginning a carbohydrate loading program.
Follow Janet's progress in Monday's Boston Marathon on Her Fitness Hut!

Boston Marathoner Cross-Trains Her Lean Body
Marathoners are not known for lean bodies so listen to how my "lean and toned" friend Janet cross-trains for the Boston Marathon. You don't just go to the Boston Marathon---you have to qualify for this very prestigious event (happens this Monday).
In short, Janet cross-trains her body and she just happens to like running alot! Just yesterday, part of her workout was to ride on a bike. Janet also regularly strength trains, swims and of course, runs.
Personally, I don't ever see myself running a half marathon or marathon. But, if I ever decide to train for a marathon, I will cross-train like Janet. I would want to be a "leaned-out" marathoner like her!
So, here are some cross-training tips for runners:
1) Lifting weights should be a big part of your training regimen. Two to 3 days a week of full body weight training will strengthen your core and overall body. A strong core is a prerequisite to being a strong runner. A strong body will also help you recover faster from races and injuries. Plyometric and speed training should also be a part of your overall training program. Having more power and speed will give you an advantage over your competition. Speed and plyometric training increases your chances of injury. Proper warm-up is critical. You could include one day each of speed and plyometric training (not consecutive days).
2) Mastering proper running mechanics will make you a more efficient runner and protect you against injuries.
3) Don't over-train your body. Research shows that the lowest number of running injuries occur when you run three days a week. Each added day increases your chance of injury. Also, don't run too many miles in a week. Those who run 20 miles or less a week experience the lowest number of injuries.
4) You need rest between exercise days and walk breaks during long runs.
5) Proper warm-up. Dynamic stretching (using your muscles to warm-up your muscles) has been shown to prepare your body best for strenuous activity. A sample dynamic warm-up could be a 5-10 minute jog, prisoner squats, cone/ladder drills, lunges, etc. Static stretches would be done after your workout.

In short, Janet cross-trains her body and she just happens to like running alot! Just yesterday, part of her workout was to ride on a bike. Janet also regularly strength trains, swims and of course, runs.
Personally, I don't ever see myself running a half marathon or marathon. But, if I ever decide to train for a marathon, I will cross-train like Janet. I would want to be a "leaned-out" marathoner like her!
So, here are some cross-training tips for runners:
1) Lifting weights should be a big part of your training regimen. Two to 3 days a week of full body weight training will strengthen your core and overall body. A strong core is a prerequisite to being a strong runner. A strong body will also help you recover faster from races and injuries. Plyometric and speed training should also be a part of your overall training program. Having more power and speed will give you an advantage over your competition. Speed and plyometric training increases your chances of injury. Proper warm-up is critical. You could include one day each of speed and plyometric training (not consecutive days).
2) Mastering proper running mechanics will make you a more efficient runner and protect you against injuries.
3) Don't over-train your body. Research shows that the lowest number of running injuries occur when you run three days a week. Each added day increases your chance of injury. Also, don't run too many miles in a week. Those who run 20 miles or less a week experience the lowest number of injuries.
4) You need rest between exercise days and walk breaks during long runs.
5) Proper warm-up. Dynamic stretching (using your muscles to warm-up your muscles) has been shown to prepare your body best for strenuous activity. A sample dynamic warm-up could be a 5-10 minute jog, prisoner squats, cone/ladder drills, lunges, etc. Static stretches would be done after your workout.

Are You Making Progress With Fat Loss?
Are you making any progress with your fat loss and weight loss after 3-1/2 months of exercise this year? Is your health better? If the answer is not yes to both questions, you need a better exercise program or you need to commit to consistent exercise (or both)!
Fourteen weeks is enough time for you to see progress with fat loss! Your clothes should be fitting looser, your body should be more toned, you should be able to do some type of interval cardio (instead of slow-paced cardio), you should be able to get through a 50 minute circuit weight training workout, etc.
Here are some observations (the same observations I had 6 months ago, 1 year ago, etc.) that I see in some people I know:
1. Some of you are still doing the same poorly designed workouts and getting the same "little or no success results" from your workouts. You're still throwing your money away at these gyms.
2. Then, there are those who have decided to follow a workout program they found in a fitness magazine.....this is better than you trying to figure it all out on your own but a program found in a magazine is not individualized for your specific fat loss needs and goals.
3. There's a group of you who have already given up the fight to get fit because you are overwhelmed.....you don't believe you can really get a "leaned out" body.
4. Some still think they can eat like they always have and just workout longer and harder. The only problem with this tactic is that it does no good to burn 500 calories during a workout and later eat 900 calories of bad food.
5. Some are still wasting money on pills, patches, creams and fat-burner supplements......its the workouts and good nutrition that will get you fit!
6. There's still a group of you who haven't figured out that it takes hard, smart workouts to get fit......you need to learn how to workout hard.
7. And, some have gym memberships they still aren't using.
Whatever the case, it doesn't have to be that way......don't underestimate the value of well-designed fitness program put together by a certified personal trainer. It makes all the difference because you get direction, feedback and encouragement from a trainer who is fit and knows what it takes to get fit and stay fit.

My "Jumping Cardio" Workout
If you're bored with running on machines or biking for cardio exercise, try a jumping cardio workout! Jumping is one of the best ways to tone and shape your lower body and you won't get bored!
You don't need any machines---just get your body ready for some very intense exercise. If you have knee or low back problems, this type of workout is not for you....
Here is a jump cardio workout I did yesterday:
--jump rope, two feet, full speed, 1 minute
--squat jumps, 10, full speed
--jump rope, right foot, full speed, 30 seconds
--jump rope, left foot, full speed, 30 seconds
--tuck jumps, 10, full speed
--depth jumps (off knee-high platform), 10
--rest 1 minute and repeat circuit 2 more times. 20 minutes total workout time.
Rest more after each circuit if needed. Take rest between exercises if needed. If you can't do an exercise full speed, then try half speed or three quarters speed until you improve.
Happy fat-burning!

Play Golf Like Tiger Woods? Train Like A Tiger!
I saw Tiger Woods in person at a camp right after he won his first Masters Tournament....compared to now, he was a skinny kid! One person asked him this question: "What do you eat before a tournament?" His sheepish reply was something like, "a cheeseburger and fries!" That was then.....I'm sure he has a personal chef and nutritionist now.....
Anyway, Tiger plays this weekend to try and win yet another Masters green jacket. His body is very athletic and muscular some 12 years later. That's a result of hard work in the weight room and good sports nutrition....you can do the same for your body even though you might not be able to play golf like Tiger.
A stronger, more powerful body will make your golf game better....it just takes hard, smart work on your part...
My Fitness Hut is here to help your golf game......with Sports Fitness Hut's Golf Power Workout! Get your copy now!
Happy Easter weekend!

Forget About Fat Burner Supplements!
Here's another reason that you should forget about fat-burner supplements and save your money! Get your nutrition from whole foods! It makes common sense and your bank account will be alot fatter! DON'T LOOK FOR SHORTCUTS TO FAT LOSS AND FITNESS!
The FDA has recalled 72 weight loss products due to "risky" ingredients.
"Some of the products claim to be 'natural' or to contain only 'herbal' ingredients, but actually contain potentially harmful ingredients not listed on the product labels or in promotional advertisements," the FDA said. "These products have not been approved by the FDA, are illegal, and may be potentially harmful to unsuspecting consumers."
The FDA went on to state that these products contained prescription strength amounts that exceeded the recommended dosage and could cause health risks. Reactions could range from high blood pressure, seizures, tachycardia, palpitations and increased risk of depression.
The tried and true formula will give you the fat loss, weight loss and health you want: regular exercise and good nutrition! Don't waste time and money on supplements!
