Happy Saturday! This past week I visited San Diego for the first time, and it is a beautiful city!While I was there, I met up with some of our San Diego FitFam, and we had an awesome time talking about body alignment, health, nutrition and fitness – and we got in a great body weight circuit!I post a lot of body weight workouts, and people always ask me if it’s as effective as weight training. I think there’s a perception that body weight workouts aren’t as hard as weight training, or won’t allow you to build muscle and strength. There’s a perception that without going to the gym, or without some complicated program, getting that really shredded body just won’t happen.But that’s just not true – fitness doesn’t have to be complicated.

Save7Favorite0 If you think you don’t have time for a butt-kicking workout this holiday season, think again. Tabata, a form of high-intensity interval training, can burn up to 13 1/2 calories per minute, meaning just a short workout will leave you sweaty, full of energy, and ready to take on your packed day. Try this under-20-minute Tabata workout from Sports Club/LA trainer Judy Truong; she guarantees it’ll leave you feeling “like you’ve been at the gym all day.” After a few minutes of warmup, start with Tabata One, and do each exercise for 20 seconds, resting for 10 seconds before you move on to the next move. Rest up to 30 seconds between each eight-move Tabata series, but make sure you keep rest breaks short to keep your heart rate up.

The last week of Shake Up November is upon us. If you will recall; my intentions in creating this challenge was to shed some light on whether or not breakfast is really the most important meal of the day, the difference between “shaking it up” and juicing, the nutritional breakdown of a typical American breakfast, to share recipes and encourage you all to get some quality nutrition in your bellies to start your day off strong, and to create an eBook with shake recipes – But…there’s still one topic I’d like to cover. Intermittent Fasting and whether or not it’s right for you.Last week Monday I wrote about how, what, and when we eat has an affect on our hormones; which can directly affect how efficiently our metabolism is working.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get fit and healthy in just four minutes a day?You may be thinking that this sounds a little too good to be true.But, contrary to conventional wisdom, the best way to increase fitness and even burn fat is not through performing endless hours of drawn-out cardio exercise.In fact, if you really want to get a better body, then very short intense workouts are actually the way to go, and as little as four minutes a day could well be enough to give you the results you’re after. This could be great news for the millions of us out there who lead busy lives and find it difficult to fit structured exercise into our daily schedule.What Exactly Is Metabolic Training?Metabolic training refers to working at high intensity with structured periods of exercise and shorter periods of rest in an alternating circuit. These types of workouts break convention in that they amalgamate both weight training and cardio in one integrated exercise session. The result is a workout that keeps you seriously fit and boosts metabolism, enabling your body to continue burning fat for up to 48 hours after the workout has actually finished. Fitness Results From Just Minutes, Not HoursWhilst there are various different forms of metabolic training, one of the most popular, named after the Japanese doctor who developed the concept, is called Tabata Training

November 24, 2013 | By Dr. Sara Solomon My 6-Pack Secret:People always ask me how to get abs like mine. What’s my secret?Contrary to popular belief, ab exercises are not responsible for my 6-pack.
