The 4 Components to Fat Loss Success
I’ve received a bunch of questions regarding Fat Loss since last week. To simplify things I wanted to put together a Simple Fat Loss Plan.
I’ve put together my 4 Components to Fat Loss Success and gone a bit further. I’ve outlined the best choices of cardio to perform to achieve maximum fat loss success.
The 4 Components to Fat Loss Success
Fat Loss Component #1 = NUTRITION
Nutrition – Understand that you don’t lose ANYTHING if you are not ready to put your nutrition first. Reread this if you don’t understand.
Fat Loss Component #2 = DIET
Diet – It’s what you EAT! Get your Diet under control and watch your body change! Just because you are on a “Diet” doesn’t mean you are some type of FREAK.
Sidebar: But don’t be afraid to be called a freak by other’s who envy your dedication.
A FREAK LEADS
Fat Loss Component #3 = STRENGTH TRAINING
Strength Training – Whether your fat loss program is a 3, 4 , 5 or 6 day training split, you follow a metabolic resistance training format, a push / pull routine or a bodybuilding routine the ultimate purpose during a fat loss program will remain the same. This ultimate goal of a strength training program is to burn calories, maintain muscle and elevate your metabolism. Cardio queens have had it wrong for years.
Strength Training ALONE is GREATER than Cardio ALONE.
Fat Loss Component #4 = CARDIO
Â
Cardio – I’ve said this before and I’ve heard my boy John Romaniello say the same thing – “Cardio is like ketchup, it makes everything better.” This statement couldn’t be more true – even if you don’t like ketchup.
The topic of cardio has become a topic for a firestorm of debate in the fitness industry. So I’m laying out the different variations you can perform. No need for debate – as I’ve used every one of these because they all can work when done correctly or in the correct sequence.
Fat Loss Cardio Training – Made Simple
#1 – Metabolic Resistance Training – If all you have is 3 hours a week, do this! It combines your Strength Training and your High Intensity Anaerobic Interval Training. It provides you more bang for your buck with a Cardio Strength Training Program all in one. It’s what makes our program at Tyler English Fitness successful.
#2 – High Intensity Anaerobic Interval Training – Studies show it burns more calories than steady state and elevates metabolism. If you have more time in your week than ADD THIS INTO IT! One to Three Sessions per week can do wonders!
#3 – High Intensity Aerobic Interval Training – If you’re going to add another fat burning component to your programming then take a look here. This method is simply a lower intensity interval method.
#4 – Steady State High Intensity Aerobic Training – You’re not working hard enough here to increase EPOC (Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption) all that much. The goal here is to simply burn more calories. This is where the general population thinks they are working harder during a cardio session but they’ve already skipped steps 1 to 3.
#5 – Steady State Low Intensity Aerobic Training – Low intensity aerobic training won’t burn a ton of calories but for someone following all these components you’re might already be burning body fat by the time to “go for a walk”.
Let’s get 100 “LIKES” and 25 comments on this baby and I’ll be back with a blueprint for success – depending on how many days a week YOU can train.
If you appreciate the knowledge then spread the work and give it a “LIKE”.
Work Hard, Train Hard, Get Better,
