3 Weight Loss Mistakes & A TT Workout

Let me solve your workout problem.

I know that you are:

- Eating well
- Exercising regularly
- and TICKED OFF that you aren't making progress.

I've answered dozens of emails and blog posts like that this weekhere and in my Men's Health blog.

And here are the 3 mistakes that you are making:

1) Your perception of your nutrition "success" doesn't match thereality of what, when, and how often you are eating. To learn therules of fat loss, you need to read (scratch that, you need toSTUDY), Dr. Chris Mohr's Fat Loss Nutrition Guidelines.

2) There is no variety in your training.

3) You need to up the intensity of your training.

Let's face it. Human beings like to stick to a routine. We don'tlike change. We like our comfort zone - some more than others.

But if there is no change in your workout from month to month, thenyour body will not change either.

That is why I insist on changing your workouts every 4 weeks as youdo in the TT workouts.

(For more TT workouts, check out http://www.workoutpass.com/turbulence).

You won't succeed by doing the same thing over and over again.Would you get ahead at work by doing the same tasks you did as thefirst day on your job? No way. You have to take on more challenges.

With variety in your training, you will continue to apply"turbulence" to the muscle, and making your body use lots of energy(i.e. calories and fat) during the recovery period to repair themuscle and replenish the energy used. That will "jack up" your metabolism.

If your body is used to the training, the exercises, the sets, andthe reps, it will give a "ho-hum" response and your metabolism will flatline.

And that's why you need to raise the intensity of the workout aswell.

Slow, boring cardio doesn't jack up the metabolism like intervals.

And research has shown that 8 reps boost your post-workoutmetabolism more than 12 reps. So you have to safely add a littleweight (try using 5% more weight with perfect form, of course), and decreasing the number of reps per set by 2. That's a good place tostart.

So if you've been doing a machine circuit, then stop, and give thissample free weight Turbulence Training workout a try.

Warmup with a bodyweight circuit. 8 reps per exercise, go throughit twice.

Sample bodyweight circuit:
i) Bodyweight squat
ii) An easy pushup
iii) A bodyweight row if possible, if not, do stick-ups

Then do 20 minutes of total body strength training done insupersets.

ie.
1a) DB Squat
1b) DB Press

Do each exercise with a weight that allows only 8 reps. Do not restbetween the squat and press.

Rest 1 minute after the press. Repeatthe superset 2 more times.

Next superset:

2a) DB Split Squat
2b) DB Row

Same as above.

On to intervals:

5 minute warmup.

6 intervals of 60 seconds at a "harder than normal cardio pace"with 60-90 seconds recovery (at the easiest pace possible).

5 minute cooldown.

Stretch tight muscles only.

Done.

We don't do slow cardio. It does nothing for the man or woman whois short on time.

And of course, always train safe and don't do anything you are notcomfortable doing...but if you are fit and healthy, you canincrease the intensity, change the variables, and burst throughyour fat loss plateaus.
