Weight Loss & Fat Burning For Busy People
As a writer for Men's Health and Men's Fitness, millions of office workers across America and the world have improved their health and fitness with my workouts. I want to show you how to lose fat, gain muscle, eat better, have more energy, and be able to get great workouts at home or even in the worst hotel gym in the world. It is possible to train and lose weight on the road!
By using an efficient combination of strength and interval training, you'll be able to cut down on your workout time and spend more time on your business projects and more importantly, at home with your family.
In order to do that, I want you to understand that you have to make nutrition your main focus in the fight against fat loss. It is far more important than exercise.
Given that, you can now understand why you don't have to do marathon workouts in the gym 5-6 days per week in order to lose weight and look better. All you need are 3 workouts per week, taking no more than 45 minutes. That is the maximum amount of time needed for my system, but you can do it in even less time if you are busy.
You need 5 minutes for a bodyweight warmup (do some easy bodyweight squats, an easy version of pushups for you, and an exercise called stick-ups to mobilize your shoulders - after all, you are probably tight due to computer use).
Next up, choose 4 basic, total-body strength exercises and perform them in 2 supersets. This will cut down time and allow you to work all of your body in only 20 minutes. Finish up the workout with 20 minutes of interval training. That's it.
By improving your health and fitness, you can have more energy; more energy to devote to your work and business, and more importantly, more energy to dedicate to your family.
The job performance benefits of health and fitness are also undeniable. Sharper mental focus, improved mental and physical endurance, enhanced self-confidence, and impressive changes in your appearance are just a few of the well-known effects of a good training program.
Unfortunately, a lot of men and women leave their health and fitness until it is too late. In fact, I've seen many prominent business-people and lawyers struggle through the simplest of physical tasks. Simply because they let the typical unhealthy executive lifestyle overwhelm them.
Don't you think these executives would gladly trade some of their wealth for the opportunity to have even an average level of fitness? Instead, long hours and poor eating have left them overweight, unfit, and looking and feeling 15 years older than they really are.
But it doesn't have to be that way for you, no matter how busy you are.
The first thing to know is that your workouts don't need to last an hour and half each day to be worthwhile. You can achieve great results by training for less than 60 minutes three times per week. You'll be able to reduce your workout time by up to 2 hours per week when compared to traditional, inefficient training programs, and you'll feel better and have more energy within days.
A strength and interval workout will decrease your stress levels, increase your mental focus and endurance, enhance your self-confidence, and drastically improve your appearance - all in record time.
Adding regular exercise to your lifestyle is known to improve work performance and personal satisfaction. Business owners that exercise regularly are 14% more likely to make the income they desire when compared to sedentary business owners. They're also 10% more likely to achieve personal work satisfaction. It's all thanks to the ability of exercise to make people more confident and give them more energy.
And research has shown that an executive lifestyle plan can result in dramatic health improvements such as:
Decreased bodyweight = -5.5 lbs.
Decreased systolic blood pressure = -17 mmHg
Decreased total cholesterol = -28 mg/dl
Decreased LDL cholesterol = -16 mg/dl
Decreased triglycerides = -45 mg/dl
Decreased fasting blood glucose = -26 mg/dl
Now all that scientific jargon just means that a good program will help you lose weight and will leave you feeling 10-15 years younger than you would without exercise and proper eating. It's incredibly simple, yet too many men and women neglect to make a strategic investment in the future of their health.
It's time to take action. Armed with this knowledge, you have the opportunity to improve your health, fitness, and energy level. Your first step is to review your current lifestyle and get your physician's approval to begin a new lifestyle. After that, you can gradually and consistently improve your daily activity and eating patterns. Changes in your energy and well-being will be immediate.
As you progress with your strength and interval workouts, your new lifestyle will become an easy to follow habit, and your old lifestyle a distant memory. On a daily basis, you'll notice improved performance and the benefits of a balanced lifestyle. You'll soon regain physical strength and endurance that you haven't enjoyed in years.
That's a small investment now in order to live a longer, more energetic, healthier life. You'll be able to keep up with your grandkids, not only your own children. I guarantee strength and interval workouts will add energy to your life while taking inches from your waist.
