Building Muscle Tips - Strip That Fat From Your Body and Reveal Your Muscles Today!

OK, here's how it's done:

Step 1. You need to be following some kind of weight training program. Don't worry, you're not going to become the next Arnold Schwarzenegger by lifting weights. But muscles do consume twice as much energy as fat so they're an advantage. Get started lifting weights 2-3 times a week and you'll start noticing that you're not only getting stronger, but your metabolism is speeding up too. You'll start to get hungry. This is good, because you need to feed your muscles so they become fat burning assets.

Strip That Fat Step 2. Aerobic exercise is a waste of time. Yep, you heard me if you want to burn fat fast, DON'T do it. You've got to be crazy right? Everyone says it's the best way so it must be true. Nope. Well, it does work, but it's not the best way. And it's hard work! If there's an easier way, wouldn't that be best? (haha, I'm such a lazy coach!)

What do you do instead? Well, you know how muscle burns more energy than fat right? Well, you can also put your body into a fat burning mode by doing Short and intense cardio exercises. This is similar to say going for a jog, or riding a bike for an hour, except you take all that effort, and put it into 15 minutes! This is commonly called interval training or High Intensity Training.

Here's an example:

It's divided into 2 parts. One intense, and the other less intense.

Here's an example of a HIIT training session:

# Stretches

# 5 min warmup

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 5 min cooldown

# Stretches

Do this and you'll speed up your body fast and you'll be burning excess energy for days! And it only takes 15 minutes! It's sincerely the BEST way to strip the fat from your body fast. Weight lifters have known this for ages.

If you're already training 3 days a week, do this cardio training on your OFF days only. The reason why is because your body simply does not know how to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. Alternate between the 2 so you can get the best of both worlds. And remember, take a day off. Nothing worse than burn out when you're doing so well.

Is that it? Nope one last thing:

Building Muscle Tips - Step 3. Eat Fresh Food With High Water Content.

You know you won't get a great body eating KFC so don't kid yourself. Take that thought in your mind now, and throw it away. The best food source for making your body run smoothly is fresh fruits and vegetables. Preferably raw!

Yeah, it's a bummer eh. You've been hearing it since you were a kid. "Eat Your Vegetables!" Turns out your parents were right eh. Well, I'm not about to tell em so don't worry!

Honestly though, eat your vegies, and eat them raw if you can. Keep your protein intake high so your body can repair itself. Snack on RAW nuts (not the salty ones!) and protein snacks / shakes. And get your energy mostly from fruits and vegetables. You'll find that you need to work a little harder to eat them but stick with it, the results will be worth it.

As you start to see results you'll become more motivated to change your diet. But trust me, if you

1. Do a weights workout

2. Do Interval Training

3. Eat Plenty of water and vitamin rich Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

Your body will thank you for it!
