So many people I work with are taking totally the wrong approach to fat loss and getting lean physiques.

Cardio, cardio and more cardio seems to be the answer for most people. But in reality building lean muscle is the number 1 most important factor in anyone’s fat loss journey.

The more lean muscle you have the faster you metabolism works and the quicker you burn fat. It’s really is that simple! Muscle burns fat super-efficiently.

But please don’t think building lean muscle means you are going to have great big muscles and look like bodybuilders. YOU WON’T! This won’t happen ladies, please believe me when I say that.

Doing weights in the gym is one way of achieving this, but by no means the only way. You can do resistance exercises at home without any equipment whatsoever that will build lean muscle. Search the site and click  the link at he bottom of the page for examples of how.

Today’s Takeaway – Building Lean Muscle = Fat Loss. Simple.

We are all striving for ways and methods to get flat toned abs. The core and stomach area are notorious problem areas for people. So if you could find out the 3 exercises that engage the most muscles fibres and therefore burn the most fat, you would be interested right? If so, then read on…

At least 2 of these exercises may shock you. You may not immediately think of them engaging core muscles, but they do.

They are the Front Plank, The Squat, and The Deadlift. (Descriptions of how to perform these exercises can be found by using the search bar in the right column).

You will not get that crunch or ab-burn feeling that you get when you do sit-ups, but I guarantee you will burn a lot more stomach fat by doing them.

And you don’t have to use a gym to do any of them. Just use cans from your cupboard, old dumbbells or anything really that adds some weight to the exercise.

Today Takeaway - Don’t think crunches and more crunches are the way to burn stomach fat. Squats, deadlift and planks are key to flat stomach results.

The vast majority of women that I have worked with are scared and worried that doing weight or resistance training is going to give them big, masculine muscles. Will this happen to you?

No, No, No! It is one of the most frustrating questions I encounter. Simply because so many people think that doing weights will give them big muscles, and there is no truth in it whatsoever.

Unfortunately because men use weights to put on muscle mass, women automatically think that if they use weights they will gain muscle mass too.

The reason men are able to gain muscle mass due to the presence of testosterone in their bodies. Over 99% of women don’t have anything close to the levels of testosterone in their bodies needed to gain big muscles.

Even if you are part of this tiny percentage, it is really easy to reverse the process of muscle gain once it has happened. And besides which, if you did have high levels of testosterone in your body you would probably already know about it, e.g. the female 800m runner in the olympics!

The result of doing weights for women will be a toned, slender figure. It will promote fat loss results you can’t get from cardio.

Today’s Takeaway – Don’t be scared of gaining muscles mass with weights. It just won’t happen with women!

Having worked with and trained my guys over the years, I know that one of the most common goals is to gain muscle mass and look ripped.

This is actually a particularly difficult thing to do (you will know if you have tried). There are many nutritional and workout elements that need to be brought together in order for you to gain muscle mass. Today I will focus on one particular point that I find is the most commonly unknown.

Training REPS. The majority of people I work with have always stuck in the 10-12 rep range in order to try and increase muscle mass. If that’s what you are doing, you are missing a trick…

For best results you should be getting your body to release 2 things; testosterone and growth hormone, and as much of each as you can.

Heavy weights and low reps (6-8 reps) stimulate testosterone. Lighter weights and higher reps (12-15 reps) stimulate growth hormone.

So for best results you should be working in 1 range on some days and the other range on other days.

Today’s Takeaway – There is nothing wrong with the mid, 10-12 rep range, as it stimulates a bit of both. But as a rule, change between the other two for best muscle mass gaining results.
