A Faster Way to Burn Fat

Hey Tyron here with another tip on a faster way to burn fat...and its fun too especially if you're mad at someone ;) (I'm not condoning anything :). I hope you are having a great week.

I just recently read a great article by one of my colleagues Chad Waterbury, a body transformation expert in California, on a faster way to burn fat and get more out of your workouts and I thought you'd enjoy it.

These same techniques are what I employ in my north vancouver personal training programs and north vancouver boot camp programs to reap the most benefits for my clients in the least amount of time (as most people don't want to spend hours and hours and hours exercising per week as I mentioned last week, right? Of course not as I don't either). But remember without a proper diet and nutrition plan in place, you're just whistling Dixie. Thought you'd enjoy it so here goes.

 Total body workouts: the fastest way to lose weight and get lean and toned!

***Side note: I have upgraded and improved my nutrition system and I just wanted to let you know if you are interested in learning about it, I am holding a seminar on Friday August 27 at 5:30 pm at BFit #103-38 Fell Ave. in North Vancouver as I'm going to take you step-by-step through the system. With this system you are going to seriously knock it out of the park in regards to your results and how lean and toned you become.

This is an upgrade from my current system I've been implementing. You DEFINITELY want to learn this one as you will learn how to NEVER EVER gain weight again (and I'm serious) however even if you do happen to gain weight down the road from becoming slack on the plan, you will KNOW from what I teach you how to get dialed right back in and knock off the weight you just gained.

If you can make it please let me know by emailing me at TyronPiteau@gmail.com so I can know how many to expect and how many materials I need to supply.***

In order to melt body fat, you can’t do things halfway. When your goal is fast fat loss through exercise you must generate the highest metabolic cost possible. It’s imperative to full-body workouts in order to create an oxygen debt which, in turn, stimulates your body to burn more calories and fat (especially after you stop training). Most people just jog on a treadmill or maybe run a few sprints to burn fat. Think of any typical cardio exercise and I’ll bet it’s a lower-body exercise (sprints, jogging, biking, hiking, etc). But there’s a much better, faster way to see your abs. (Don’t forget, eating the right foods is essential, too.)

While training, the key is to do high intensity cardio that stimulates your upper- and lower-body muscles in the same workout. If you just run, no matter how fast, you’re only get half the results you could be getting if you simply added in an upper body exercise. The problem is, people don’t equate upper body exercises with cardio so they don’t know how to supercharge their fat loss.



The best upper body cardio exercise is boxing since it works virtually every upper body muscle and your core. It has a very high metabolic cost, too. The cool part about boxing is that you don’t need to be good at it to see quick results. Just get a pair of 16-ounce gloves, throw punches and hooks against a bag or in the air, and voila, you’re on your way to a leaner, fitter body.


Why not skip the gloves and just throw your punches without gloves? Two reasons. First, those seemingly light 16-ounce gloves make your muscles work significantly harder. Second, wearing boxing gloves creates a psychological response akin to combat. Those gloves put your mind in a state that’s ready for action!

Here’s a sample fat-burning workout that you can do after lifting weights or on a separate day. I’ve had everyone from magazine models to professional fighters strip off body fat with this style of training. It’s awesome. I prefer to do all training outdoors so that’s what I’ll outline first. Then I’ll show you how to modify the workouts for home or gyms.

Warm-up: start with a few minutes of rope jumping, foam roller exercises, or mobility drills to prepare your muscles. Once your body feels ready, it’s time to turn on the juice.

Workout (outdoors): sprint for 50 yards, then jog backward to the starting line. As soon as you return, put on boxing gloves and throw punches (shadow boxing) for one minute. It’s essential that you move around while punching, don’t just stand in place. After a minute of shadow boxing, slip off your gloves and perform another 50 yard sprint followed by a backward jog to the starting point. Continue with this sprint/shadow boxing combination for 10 rounds (about 15 minutes’ worth of work). If you’re in better condition, do it for 15 rounds.

1a: Sprint 50 yards
No rest
1b: Jog backward to starting line
Rest 15 seconds (enough time to slip on boxing gloves)
1c: Shadow box for one minute
Rest 30 seconds (enough time to slip off boxing gloves) and repeat 1A-1C 9-14 more times

Looks like he could use a little more of the sprinting with his boxing eh?

Workout (indoors): sprint on a treadmill or in place for 10 seconds followed by 20 jumping jacks. Next, slip on the gloves and hit a bag or shadow box for one minute while moving around. Continue with this sequence for 10-15 rounds.

1a: Sprint on a treadmill or in place for 10 seconds
No rest
1b: 20 jumping jacks
Rest 15 seconds (enough time to slip on boxing gloves)
1c: Hit a bag or shadow box for one minute
Rest 30 seconds (enough time to slip off boxing gloves) and repeat 1A-1C 9-14 more times


With that physique, it looks like she's got it down to a science

There are endless combinations of full-body cardio workouts that can melt body fat, but the sprinting/boxing combo is an excellent change of pace. It’s worth mentioning that just a private session or two with a qualified boxing instructor or personal trainer can make these workouts even more enjoyable and effective. If you’re going to put in the work, you might as well do it right. Who knows, honing your boxing skills might come in handy someday.

Fat loss is yours for the taking. Go get 'er!

3 Ways to Build Lean Muscle and Lose Fat Faster

Hey Tyron here. I hope you are having an awesome week. If you live in Vancouver you know what gorgeous weather we've had lately.

I just recently read a great article by one of my colleagues Chad Waterbury, a body transformation expert in California, on 3 ways to build lean muscle which will help your body burn more fat.

These are some of the strategies that I employ in my personal training programs and boot camp programs to reap the most benefits for my clients in the least amount of time (as most people don't want to spend hours and hours and hours exercising per week, right? At least I don't). But remember without a proper diet and nutrition plan in place, you're just whistling Dixie. Thought you'd enjoy it.

Men want more muscle; women typically don't. When a guy sees a mixed martial arts fighter such as Georges St. Pierre, or a model on the cover of Men's Health, he knows he needs to gain muscle. However, when a woman sees a body like Jennifer Garner had in Elektra, she typically thinks, "I'd like to tone up and look like that." In reality, Jennifer had to gain muscle to get that lean, sexy look. Toning up is nothing more than losing fat and building a little muscle.

Whether you want to look like St. Pierre or Jennifer Garner in Elektra, your goal should be to gain muscle and lose fat - build lean muscle, in other words. Since women have a fraction of the testosterone men have, they don't need to worry about packing on extra muscle.

There are two primary benefits to gaining muscle. First, you'll look harder and more defined when you lose fat. Second, you'll boost your metabolism. Even just a few pounds of additional muscle can have an impact on boosting your metabolism at rest (the jury's still out on how much a pound of muscle actually boosts your metabolism, but regardless, it helps. Remember though THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect is your diet for fat loss and losing weight. Period).

First and foremost, your diet must be in order to lose fat. With that in mind, here are three changes you can immediately make to your current workout program to make it more effective for building lean muscle.

1. Use enough weight: focus on lifting weights that don't allow more than 12 reps per set. As a general rule, start with a weight you can lift 6-12 times for the first set. Shoot for 25 total reps per exercise with heavier weights (6RM) and 50 total reps with lighter weights.

2. Keep your rest periods short: one of the biggest mistake people typically make is that they rest too long between sets. Your heart rate should remain elevated throughout the entire workout. At some point during the workout you should be questioning whether you're resting long enough. No rest is best between exercises - just enough time to transition between exercises. 30 seconds is the most you should ever rest when fat loss is the goal. As a general rule, 10-20 seconds between exercises works well.

3. Do Full-body workouts: every time you train you should perform upper and lower body exercises. This drastically increases the metabolic demand of the workout and keeps your metabolism elevated long after you leave the gym. Choose one upper body pull, one upper body push, and a squat or deadlift variation as a bare minimum to meet the full-body requirement. And be sure to put in full-body cardio strength exercises (eg, squat thrust with overhead press with dumbbells) at the end of your workouts to really crank up your metabolism.

Your unstoppable fat loss formula,

Tyron
