I hope you had a great holiday weekend...I gave you a break on Friday and Sunday from the emails, but let's get back to it. I hope you did your shopping on Saturday, because starting Monday without proper nutrition is no way to follow a fat loss program
Always...be...prepared!
And now on to your fat loss guidelines for this week...
Monday
TT Workout. The goal: get it done and get it done fast. No dilly-dallying around. You've got better things to do. Don't take extra rest between sets and see if you can have your best, most efficient workout ever. Train within your limits, of course. Go back to your regular rest periods on Wednesday.
Tuesday
30 minutes of activity. It's spring. Take the dog for a walk. Go for a bike ride. The days are still getting longer (here in the Northern Hemisphere at least). So take advantage of the sunlight.

Wednesday
TT workout. Today's job is to review your warm-up. Are you warming up effectively? Are you preparing your muscles for the specific task at hand or are you just jumping on a piece of cardio to warm up your core temperature (which is irrelevant by the way). Each TT workout contains a proper warm-up, so that you don't get injured and you get more results.
One way to reduce the risk of injury is to lighten the load and increase the duration of the lowering phase for each exercise. This is very good for muscular control in beginners.
Thursday
30 minutes of activity. You know, by taking advantage of the extra off-days you get with the TT workouts (when compared to 5-days per week old-school bodypart training programs), these extra days of miscellaneous activity almost give your fat loss program a Zen-like success.
The ability to choose an enjoyable moderate-intensity activity is much better than stressing out and worrying about your daily intense cardio workout that you "can't miss or you won't lose any fat".
Forget that mentality...it's haunted people for so long...and all they had to show for it were wasted hours in the gym and hours spent worrying if their preferred cardio machine would be available.
But when long slow light activity is done enjoyably on "off" days it will help more than an hour of strict cardio per day. It's much better to make regular physical activity a part of your lifestyle than to look at long, slow activity as hardcore, mandatory training
Friday
Another TT workout. Since its the end of the week, and you might be beat up a little from work and your exercise program, feel free to sub in some bodyweight exercises in place of some lifting exercises. Help restore your body...you don't always have to be breaking it down.
Saturday
Get 30 minutes of exercise from a fun, non-gym workout. As always, check in with that social support group. Get your motivation and encouragement.
If you want me to be your social support, I'd appreciate the opportunity. Your success is my goal.
Join the club at www.TTmembers.com and get the entire TT forum behind you every step of the way towards your new body.
Sunday
Plan, shop, and prepare, of course. Get 30 minutes of enjoyable exercise, and don't forget to grab a new vegetable, a new fruit, and at least one new organic product at the grocery store.
I encourage you to take up the Bally challenge, and eat as well as my dog, Bally. His new food is organic, and even contains blueberries, Green Tea extract, tomatoes, and the number one ingredient is chicken, and there's no filler.
If he can do it, you can do it! Eat as well as possible and you'll have the energy of a 1-year old puppy!
Eat for life,

P.S. Bodyweight training opens up new avenues to burn calories and fat.
"Just wanted to let you know my clients and I think the supersets and circuits in the TT Fat Loss and Bodyweight manuals are awesome. I must say it was somewhat of an experiment for me, as a new trainer, because I've been taught "cardio" for fat loss comes first, then strength training, and vise versa for mass building. Now I've got my clients sweating before any "cardio" begins, and they are truly performing better doing the strength-work first."
Lisa Grivers
"At first I was skeptical about trying Craig's Bodyweight program, but man was I suprised! The workout was a refreshing change from going to the gym (I did it at home in my living room) and the exercises were very challenging, you'd be suprised at the pump you get from doing an entire workout with only your body as resistance."
