Fat Blasting Workout

Here is the workout that I am using to lose weight. Remember that cardio is required to burn fat. Doing a ton of exercises for certain areas will not help you lose weight. You could do 300 crunches everyday and the weight and fat will not go away. It will just build muscle underneath your fat. Start off with this cardio workout and once you reach your goal weight then you can target toning areas. :)

30 Jumping Jacks
5 Burpees
20 Squats
30 Crunches
10 Standing Calf Raises
30 Mountain Climbers
5 Kneeling Push Ups
5 Seated Dips
1 minute Jumping Rope
20 Lunges
5 Burpees
30 Vertical Leg Crunches
15 Squats
40 Russian Twists
20 Mountain Climbers
30 second Wall Sit

Finish it off with a 1 minute plank.

I hope this exercise helps you. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Metabolism 101

What is metabolism?

The rate you burn the calories you consume.

Tips:

Any movement burns metabolism, even fidgeting. 

Every increase in body temperature increases your metabolism by 14%.

Eating protein also increases metabolism.

When you sleep your metabolic rate decreases by 10%, but you still need sleep!

When you don't eat or drink for 12 hours or more, your metabolism decreases by 40%.

It is genetic, so people have really good metabolism and some people don't.

Adequate sleep helps regulate your metabolism.



You can control it by:

~Exercising

~Eating steadily throughout the day

~Staying hydrated

~Consuming healthy foods and foods with high fiber content.


Just remember this simple equation.

Burn more calories than you consume = losing weight.

Exercising daily and eating right will help you lose weight. It's not magic, it's science.

Why Water?

For my first diet tip I wanted to share the health and weight loss benefits of drinking water. Part of losing weight is to add water to your diet. Here are some reasons why...

Supresses your diet.
People who drink water daily are usually less hungry and will eat less and therefore lose weight.

Helps reduce your cholesterol.
Reducing cholesterol makes you slim down faster.

Helps tone your muscles.
If your muscles are dehydrated you won't see any toning, no matter how much you exercise.

Necessary for proper digestion.
The digestive system requires so much fresh water a day to work, and if you are short of this, then you will feel bloated and tired.

Helps the liver to function.
The liver metabolizes fat, which is super important when you are trying to lose weight.

Flushes out toxins.
Makes your body cleaner and healthier. Which will help you get in shape faster.


To live a healthier lifestyle you need to drink 8 cups of water a day. For some that may be hard, for me too. So start off slow and go one cup at a time until you reach 8. I hope this helped. Comment any questions or comments.
