Want Rapid Fat Loss and Lean Muscle Gain? Try These Exercises On For Size

In my years of helping people lose body fat and build lean muscle, I know how important exercise selection is what and how key it is to pick exercises that are going to work the most amount of muscle, burn the most amount of calories, in the least amount of time.

Lets keep this simple. The best exercises for losing weight and body fat are the ones for lean muscle gain and visa versa. As mentioned above, these exercises all have one thing in common: they provide a UNIQUE challenge to your body AND involve as many muscles in your body as possible.

Real world case studies and scientific research have shown that total body workouts are superior for maximal fat loss and muscle gain than single joint, isolation exercises such as tricep kickbacks (which I see MANY women doing). But let’s take this one step further…

Let’s dramatically accelerate results by selecting TOTAL BODY EXERCISES within each TOTAL BODY WORKOUT! For example, squats are well known for being one of the best muscle-builders with a serious fat-shredding effect. However, the squat goes from great to UNSTOPPABLE for changing your body for the better when you make it a combination movement by adding a row or press to each squat rep. It’s obvious that you can reap more benefits this way since you have now involved your upper body into the king of lower body exercises.

It’s as simple as the Dream Body Equation below:

Performing Total Body Exercises Within Each Total Body Workout

More Muscles Involved =

More Calories Burned + Greater Muscle-Building Stimulus =

Greater Fat Lost + Greater Lean Muscle Gain

Isn't that what everyone wants? Then why are we constantly selecting exercises like tricep kickbacks? I'm guessing because they are easy.

To be honest I can understand because these Total Body Exercises can be loved and hated at the same time. Love because of the unparalleled fat-melting, muscle-building results they provide to help maximize you looking and feeling better. Hated because they break you every single workout by leaving you in tears while in a pool of your own sweat. Not for those who are looking for the easy way out, but definitely for those who want to change the way they look and feel.
