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
 

 

 

 

 

MS150 Bike to the Bay

Mountain Climber / Mountain Jumper

 

 


 


 

Summary:

Although mountain climber exercises were common in old school gym classes and track and field practices, many people dismiss the exercise as just extra work.  When performed properly, the mountain climber can serve as an excellent dynamic stretching exercise, warm-up, and even cardio.  The mountain climber can be performed as pictured above with and alternating lunge type pattern, or even by basically running in place with your hands on the ground depending on the training effect that you are targeting.  The mountain jumper is another alternative similar exercise that adds an additional focus on the abdominals.

Count:  2

Description:  For the mountain climber, begin with your hands on the ground and one foot forward with the knee close to the chest.  Jump your hips up to allow you to change positions with the alternate leg.  The mountain jumper is basically a squat thrust, without the squat.  Go from a pushup position and jump your feet forward with your knees near your chest.
 

Target:  abs, legs (rectus abdominis, hamstrings)
