What Makes a Good Fat Loss Program?

How about good results, right? After all, its all about the results in the end.

Let's get a little more specific. You want the fastest results while spending the least amount of time to lose fat. If you could get results by exercising only three days a week, why would you do more.

Many people don't exercise because they think that it takes several hours and they just don't have this much time. You will hear many in gyms and healthclubs say that you need to put your time in on the bike or treadmill to burn off extra fat.

Well, when you combine this with weight training, it can easily add up to an hour and a half or two hours. Again, who past the age of 25 has this much time.

I don't know about you, but I've seen lots of people who put their time on the cardio machines in their "fat burning zone" without much to show for it.

My studio uses a whole body vibration platform called a Power Plate. I combine it with bodyweight exercises and flexbands for a non-stop 20 minute workout. One of my clients has started seeing results after only six sessions.

Her friends are jealous because they are doing traditional workouts without the same results. She talked about the hour and a half workouts she and her boyfriend were doing after joining a gym.

Well, for a part time student with three kids, who's past 25, she was too worn out after those typical sessions. Again, we all have limited time in our lives.

Since this blog is on home fat loss workouts, I won't go on about the effectiveness of my studio's workouts. But if you want results, whether at home or the gym, you need to make sure of one thing....

Your workouts involve several muscles and not isolation work and you need to keep the rest periods brief. When you do exercises that involve large muscles and several joints, with very short rest periods, you elevate your metabolism for several hours afterwards.

These fat loss workouts can involve bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, flexbands or even sandbags, as long as you are using a lot of different muscles to do a lot of work in a short amount of time.

Lack of time is just an excuse. Pick a proven program that uses these principles and just do it!
