There is no "quick fix" for losing weight, toning up, or getting in shape so stop looking!
Here's the not-so-secret formula:

You have to want to do it.
You have to set achievable fitness and nutrition goals.
You have to decide how important your goals are.
You have to analyze your priorities.
You have to determine what you are willing to do to achieve success.
You have to find a way to make it happen!

The most efficient fat burning workout strategy is to incorporate a mixture of cardiovascular exercise and weight training or resistance exercise. Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise burns calories during the workout whereas weight training or resistance exercise (anaerobic) continues to burn calories for hours after the workout. The surgeon general recommends 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 3-4 times per week for cardiovascular health .

Do the math... 90-95% of people who lose weight with diet gain most of the weight back within 3 to 5 years. Often times more body fat or weight is gained back due to yo-yo dieting. Permanent changes in eating habits and exercise are required for sustained weight loss.

I'm not saying that it is going to be easy... but are you willing to do what it takes to improve
your health, body composition and overall quality of life? If you're not sure how to start, I can help...

Bodyweight Exercise of the Month

Plyometric Broad Jump

Summary:

The standing broad jump was an all time favorite when we did those fitness tests a bazillion years ago in gym class. Believe it or not, it's still considered a very good exercise and is used in sport specific training to improve athletic performance. The nature of the plyometric broad jump requires that you immediately go from jump to jump with little or no rest between repetitions. This can be done in a straight line if you have the floor space, or by alternating directions as depicted above. This is a great exercise for increasing leg and hip power and explosiveness.

Count: 2 count

Description: Starting from a standing position, squat down with your arms also down near your calves. While throwing your arms up, explode forward and up, driving your legs and jumping forward as far as you can go. As you land, coil down into the starting position again (turning towards the opposite direction if required) and immediately go into your next repetition.

Target: legs and butt (quadriceps and gluteals)
