I don’t eat breakfast, I workout on a “empty” stomach, and my first meal starts around 2pm — would you believe I’m trying to gain muscle?Growing up, I rarely ate breakfast, much to the dismay of… well, everyone. You see, it’s generally accepted that eating a balanced breakfast is a staple of a healthy diet and, more importantly, crucial in nailing standardized tests. As I grew older and wiser, a big, tasty breakfast became a key in my diet and eventual weight gain.Once I hit the weight I wanted to maintain, however, I started looking for ways to improve my body composition without sacrificing strength gains and too much thinking.Enter the Leangains DietThe Leangains Diet, created by Martin Berkhan, is an intermittent fasting protocol that uses a 16-hour fast and a 8-hour feeding window that ideally begins after your workout.

It was the kind of workout that leaves you soaked in sweat and flat on your back, gasping for air even though you can’t help but smile. What a feeling!When you’re ready, you peel yourself off the gym floor, pat yourself on the back, and then . . .

Intermittent fasting “What do you have for breakfast?” “I don’t eat breakfast.” “What do you mean you don’t eat breakfast?” It’s the most important meal of the day!”Or is it really? That’s right, I no longer eat breakfast, and I haven’t done so for a while. And this blog post is going to explain why I have given up “the most important meal of the day”. For the last year or so I no longer eat breakfast as a way of giving my digestive system a rest.

High Intensity Interval Training (known as H.I.I.T.) is taking the fitness industry by storm!

I am not the only one. People everywhere are slipping in their own sweat whether it be in the gym or the comfort of their own homes.

Metabolic Resistance Training – Part II | MNFitnessBlogger

Before I get into the specific types of workouts that qualify as MRT, let me tell you a little bit about why these workouts are so effective.For quite a long time now, health and fitness researchers have been preaching that strength training is an important component in a weight loss program. But over the past several years, with the advent of commercial programs like P90X, Insanity, CrossFit and others, strength training has evolved from something involving long hours of slow sets in the gym to something approaching what I would call balistic movement with resistance. And the truth is, both forms of strength training can be effective for weight loss (as well as for building muscle and gaining strength, obviously), but there is a problem with both of these types of workouts – they are not safe for the majority of the population, and not even for those who are quite fit.An old-school weight workout, which the fitness world has lately given the shiny new moniker “High-Intensity Resistance Training (HIRT)”, involves lifting very heavy weights for a few (6 or so) repetitions, resting for two or three minutes, then doing it again three or four more times before moving on to the next exercise. This type of training creates major metabolic changes in the body (especially the muscles and the systems servicing those muscles), but it is A) very time-consuming and B) very hard on the joints of anyone over the age of 30, regardless of how fit or strong they are

Metabolic Resistance TrainingIf you’ve been reading forums and internet websites about training lately, maybe you’ve seen some workouts plans marked as “MRT (paired sets)…” or something similar. And, unless you’re an ultra fitness geek, you probably have no idea what MRT is. Today, I’d like to help you geek out and tell you all about it.MRT is an acronym for Metabolic Resistance Training. It’s a type of strength training (weight lifting) that runs you through a cycle of exercises in quick succession, leaving your whole body exhausted and your metabolism on fire.There are three basic concepts to MTR to follow:1. Do a series of strength moves that alternate between non-competing muscle groups so that you can move from one exercise to the next with minimal rest
