Look around next time you are out in public and what do you notice. PEOPLE ARE FAAATTTTT!!!! They are big and out of shape!!!! What happened? How did mankind go downhill so fast in terms of our health and physiques. Below are a couple of reasons.
1. PEOPLE EAT MORE, EXERCISE LESS- This seems to be the theme these days. We consume biggie sized everything and large this and huge portion that but yet fail to workout to burn these calories off. We have turned into a video game playing, tv watching, Internet society with little time spent outside doing recreational activities or working out. To solve this simply start eating less and working out more duhhh.
2. PEOPLE'S WORKOUTS SUCK- Going to the gym and hardly breaking a sweat does not account for anything. Just simply saying " Well least I went" does not cut it! Going to the gym one time a week or one time a month is just bad. When you hit the gym make your time count! Read at the bottom for a quick workout to use.
3. PEOPLE LOVE THEIR CARBS- I know carbs always get the bad press but it is due more to the fact that they get abused by people. Lets not eat 3 bagels a day, eat muffins for breakfast and think that is ok. How about 2 big bowls of pasta every night....ahhh no! Eat your carbs in the morning but eat things like oatmeal and Kashii brand cereals. Post workout is another time when you can consume carbs.
4. PEOPLE EAT OUT TOO MUCH AND CONSUME TO MUCH PROCESSED FOOD- Very few people pack their lunch or make dinners these days. I know people are busy so why not say screw your health and pocket book for that matter and just eat out and eat garbage. When you eat out you have no real clue what is being put into your food and usually you don't want to. Added sugars, salts, fats, etc. Solve this by just eating out one to two times a week and when you do make sure it is not at a place called Applebees or McDonalds. Try to consume less processed food and eat more veggies, fruits, meats and basic food products.
So how can you attack your workouts to burn fat and crank your metabolism up? Start by thinking about doing super sets, and giant sets. These are all more time efficent and you will burn more calories with the high tempo pace. Next you want to focus on using metabolic exercises like squat presses, pullups, deadlifts, burpees ( Jackknives ) and squats. Try the workout below which focuses on a full body routine.
