The other Friday I was out for dinner with Jon Benson (Fit Over 40) and Dr. John Berardi - Precision Nutrition. The conversation turned to the extremes that some people believe is necessary in order to lose fat.
But time and time again our discussion turned back to how the basics were the key.
a) Nutrition
b) Social Support - In our online community Discussion Forums
c) Basic Exercises
That is the fat loss plan for success. There are no missing steps. You don't need expensive, questionable appetite suppressants to do the job. You don't need fancy machines. And you don't need to starve yourself.
Monday
TT Workout. Change your interval workout and try Alwyn Cosgrove's new interval method for fat loss - read about it here
Tuesday
TT is all about lifestyle. That's why we have 3 structured workouts and 4 non-structured exercise days. So do something you like today, for 30 minutes of activity.
Just make sure that it doesn't interfere with your recovery from Monday's workout, or tire you out for Wednesdays' workout.
Wednesday
TT workout. Are you remembering to hit a personal best in each workout? What's today's record going to be? How many chinups you can do? An extra 2.5 lbs on dumbbells rows? A set of decline pushups for 20 reps? Whatever it is, make sure it's 1 rep or 1 pound better than last workout!
Thursday
30 minutes of activity. Thursdays are a great day to give yourself some destress activity. A dinner out, a yoga session, meditation, a nap, or a call to a close friend. Treat yourself. Soon it will be another busy weekend...
Friday
TT workout. Before you train, have your body fat tested. Compare your results to 4 weeks ago. For guys, this is a good time to determine whether you need more muscle or to stick with fat loss.
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.
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.
An expert should make it simple for you,
