Fat burning tricks...

Protein synthesis and builds muscle that can lead to a higher metabolism. In the same way that strength training can create an anabolic environment that helps burn fat, performing sprints does the same by temporarily boosting growth hormones and testosterone.

After performing sprints, metabolism is significantly elevated, meaning you continue to burn a higher number of calories, even at rest. That means that you can cut your workout time in half and still get the results you’re looking for.

Sprinting can take the form of running, cycling or even rowing. A great starting point is maintaining a sprint for 8 seconds with 3-5 minutes of rest between bursts.

Pushing a prowler can combine the benefits of strength training and sprinting into one exercise. The prowler push is a great full-body, fat-burning workout that allows you to maximize your heart rate while using your lower body to push and contract your upper body and core muscles.

Since high-intensity work using a large volume is one of the best ways to decrease body fat, make sure the resistance is challenging to see the best results.

Counting calories may not be enough to get results if your diet isn’t “clean.”

Eliminate all processed foods, sugar and trans-fats from your diet, and focus on eating fresh forms of protein, vegetables, a moderate amount of fruits and healthy fats such as coconut oil, olive oil and butter from grass-fed cows.

Make sure to get enough Fiber by building your plate around a large serving of antioxidant-rich vegetables such as kale, cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, eggplant or spaghetti squash.

Stay hydrated, especially in the hot summer months, by drinking plenty of Water and avoiding juice, soda, sports drinks and alcohol.

Yep, some may have had their funny bone taken out also! I wonder if that cost extra????

BC/BS of Maryland doesn't cover funny bone removal...I have to go out-of-country for that. Still have my LOL.

My apologies if I took a post too seriously. I for one like to pride myself on having a sense of humor and hope to get the same in return. So I’m sorry for temporarily losing my “funny bone”. I read a post that seem to give me no indication that something was said in gest (no smiley faces, no LOL acronym, etc) and since we seem to be bombarded by constant political bullying from all directions these days, I made the assumption this was one of those instances. Please accept my apologies and I’ll try to stay away from message boards on Monday mornings. Being hungry used to make me most grumpy…..now being sleepy on a Monday morning has moved up to the top of the list in making me irritable. Sorry bout that. :unsure:

There.....I just flexed for you. Oh no..........I just pulled a muscle! Ice pack please! :P

That's the ticket...let's just put it all on Monday...the good, the bad and the ugly...lol.

Politics aside...the information in the article is good and certainly worth the read.

Thanks for sharing...and happy Monday (what's left of it anyway...).

I was self pay on my "humerectomy" (funny bone removal). Not sure mine would work on a Monday anyway.......

:unsure:

I agree with you. It wasn't implied as a joke. I've stayed away because I too have read the bullying that goes on here at times. Oh well.

I do thank you for your great humor. You may need to ask for a refund.

That is a great article. i always wondered how long I was supposed to rest between sets.

I love strength training. I hate cardio, but I do it. It's great to know how to maximize

the benefits of it.

What is a pulled pec in the pursuit of science?!

:)
