The basic findings of Izumi Tabata’s research was that in 4 minutes of work, you could get more cardiovascular benefits, and more fat loss, than in 60 minutes of steady state cardio (e.g. jogging). That’s right: 4 minutes vs 60 minutes.
But most people can’t do this. They either give up, or don’t go 100%. It makes many people puke.
But I have an alternate that I think you will like even better…

I want to share a great technique for you to throw in to your routine. This is not for beginners, but is great for when you hit a plateau or are getting bored with your existing routine.
But before I share today’s tips, we need a little background.
Workout Volume
It’s becoming in vogue now for fitness experts, especially strength coaches, to recommend lower volume workouts. Lower volume means fewer total number of reps per muscle group.
For example…

I just got back from a business trip. As you might know yourself, getting your workouts in while on the road is a challenge.
Assuming time isn’t too tight, working in a run is usually pretty easy.
But weight training is more of a challenge.
Today I want to give you some tips to consider if you are out of town and need to go to an unfamiliar gym…

Everyone seemed to like the last article from Tom, and so here’s another. This is a great one that you can start putting to use in your very next leg workout. It’s a really important variation if you find your knees and/or back overstressed.

It’s axiomatic that the exercises which give you the best results are always the hardest ones to do. If you want a huge back… you row and deadlift. If you want huge legs, you squat… OR… you do THIS leg exercise – that almost no one wants to do because its one of the hardest of them all.

I’m ashamed to admit something. I’ve been recommending The Truth About Six Pack Abs for a long time. Read my review at http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/2009/03/the-truth-about-6-pack-abs-review-and-critique/ . And no doubt, it is worth every penny and you should get a copy if you haven’t already.
But my admission here is about all the bonus books that come with it. I have to admit, until this past weekend, I simply skimmed those.
Well, I just read the 33-page workout report from Turbulence Training (Craig Ballantyne) that comes with it. It’s called the Dumbbell-Bodyweight (DB-BW) Fusion Workout. Remember, this comes free with Truth…

About a week ago, I offered to our email subscribers an open Q&A session: “ask your questions and I’ll try to get them answered”. The asking is something we only offer the email list, but RSS subscribers can still see the answers. As usual we had tons of questions.
the questions were great! I had a ton of fun answering them!

Weight training to burn fat requires a different kind of workout routine. You want to tailor your bodybuilding for fat loss.
A training journal (or training log) helps you progress faster and stay on track for your fitness program.
