Weight Loss Articles

I met my best friend Yalon last week for a dinner at a cozy beach restaurant. I haven?t seen him for 6 months and I was delighted how much he had changed. His tight shirt didn?t leave anything to the imagination. At age 47, Yalon has an athletic, masculine body that many 20 year old guys dream of.

It?s not a gift. Yalon exercise and eats healthily to be so fit at his age. He works out in a gym 2-3 times a week and runs 10 km outdoors 2-3 times a week. He could have all the excuses in the world to avoid exercising. He is a very dedicated dad to his 3 kids and a very busy corporate CEO who has just completed a complicated merger and needs to travel around the globe quite often.

?Dov. Exercise is what keeps me going in full speed? he told me. ?It?s my therapeutic treatment. Without it I would have gone nuts with what happens in my life?.

What about you? Do you have the commitment to kick-off your own life change and become a good looking, energetic and healthy person in your forties, fifties, sixties and beyond?

To help you make that decision I will reveal to you a mind blowing fat loss secret. You don?t have to run 10 km 2-3 times a week to be in the same shape as Yalon. You can get great results by doing High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) 2-3 times a week. Instead of running (or doing other aerobic activity) for one hour, you can complete all your cardio training in 20 minutes and get the same results. How can this be?

As a subscriber to Body for Mind you?ve probably downloaded my ebook ?Perpetual Wellbeing - 4 Steps to Ageless Sex Appeal? where I explain the secret of the HIIT. The main promise for fat loss is the anaerobic characteristic. This is similar to weight training. Fat burning continues for a few hours after you finish your workout. Contrarily, if you?re having one hour of slow running, you will burn fat only when you?re running and you?ll stop burning fat when you stop running.

There are many more advantages of HIIT. It builds muscle instead of ?burning muscle?. It improves your cardiovascular capability and lung efficiency. Even though the intensity is much higher, you are motivated to complete the training because it takes a short time. But the most important advantage is that it?s gives you a great feeling of HIGH and it?s a great way to open the day packed with pheromones and energy.

The disadvantage of HIIT is that you can not perform it as a beginner. Unfortunately I see too many irresponsible training programs that promote HIIT to beginners. It?s a great way to get results fast but with a high risk of injury. I recommend starting HIIT only after achieving a minimal level of fitness. You have to know how to warm up and improve your cardiovascular fitness before you start HIIT. Knowledge is the key.

I didn?t invent the HIIT. Well known physicians, bodybuilders and fitness gurus recommend it. But in the last 4 years since I started to workout, I haven?t seen many people that follow an interval training routine. Why is a proven technique still a ?secret? although many professionals recommend it?

I guess people play ?dummy? when it comes to fitness. They spend hours training to achieve goals without acquiring the appropriate knowledge. You are not one of them. You have subscribed to the advanced alternative health, nutrition and fitness ezine - Body for Mind. Use this knowledge, share it with your friends, be the leader. Don?t follow the crowds who jump on health scams that appear once in a while.

Yalon, Ainsley, me and many of my friends, readers and clients look and feel great in their late forties. You can be the same if you?re younger or older. Just give it a chance and don?t procrastinate. Start now!
