7-Day Weight Loss Guide

I get a little worried around this time of the year that people are going to start losing their motivation to eat well, train consistently, and do everything they can to improve their health.

After all, it's been a month since most people "got serious" about getting back in shape, and if they aren't using the TT workouts, they probably didn't get very far - so they end up quitting.

So that's why I continue to publish the 7-day guideline to the week ahead...to help you stay on track with your lifestyle changes and workouts.

Here's what you need to do this week...

Monday
TT Workout - In this workout, make an extra effort to focus on the muscles contracting during each exercise. Don't just go through the motions. Stick to the tempo. Focus on perfect form in every exercise and ask a fitness professional if you have any questions about technique.
We've got new YouTube videos up, so make sure to check them out for training ideas...

How to Train Your Back at Home

Tuesday
30 minutes of activity. And zip out to a department store to get a Stability ball for home, if you don't have one already. This will help you get some at-home workouts done if you can't make it to the gym.

Wednesday
TT Workout. Make sure you do your intervals right after training. Make this the hardest workout you've done all year.

Here's a good article on interval training...from the LA Times. The word is starting to spread...You have to register to read it, but registration is free.

Read the article here

According to the LA Times..."Interval-spawned weight loss, surprisingly, does not mostly come from the interval training itself (intervals use fast-burning glycogen, not slow-burning fat, as fuel), but from its long-known aftereffect: It ramps up the metabolism."

You better believe it. For my best interval workouts, get the 6-Month Bodyweight Manual.

Thursday
30 minutes of activity. And now that you are getting to the end of January, take some time to assess your progress and compare your current health and wellness to your fitness levels one month ago. And let me know how you compare.

Friday
TT Workout. Don't forget about your nutrition. Aim to have a new fruit or vegetable today.

Personally, I've finally found a way to get spinach into my diet, and last week I picked up a Plantain banana as my "new fruit of the week". What can you try for the first time?

Saturday
30 minutes activity. And check in with a member of your social support group. After that, commit to helping someone else you know achieve fat loss success.

Send them the signup link to this newsletter here.

Become part of their social support network. With your experience, you will be able to help them achieve success faster, and avoid common stumbling blocks.

Sunday
30 minutes of activity. Plan, shop, prepare. Need some football-friendly, fat-loss and healthy recipes?

I recommend Dr. John Berardi's Gourmet Nutrition. Check out John's great recipes here.

Be consistent. Keep your motivation.

And then worry about using advanced techniques,

P.S. I really like this quote...
I found this online somewhere...

"Don't be discouraged by friends or family who do not support you in your journey towards a healthier, slimmer lifestyle. Quite often people find it intimidating and even frightening when someone important in their life begins to make life altering changes. Keep your chin up and keep smiling! Who knows, you may be able to improve their life and convert them to a healthier lifestyle!"

That's why a social support team is ESSENTIAL.

And that's one of the things you'll get at www.TTMembers.com
