So since I’ve been on strict Paleo for the past 2 weeks I’ve been trying to get into fat burning mode aka Ketosis the process in which we switch from using carbohydrates and glucose for fuel to burning fat as energy. Going to into Ketosis really has helped me lean out and get muscle definition especially in the ever so hard lower mid section. It also has provided me with more energy and curb my cravings for sugar and grains.

Unquestionably, the coolest diet hack to come across my radar in the past few years is a technique known as Intermittent Fasting (IF).  IF has a small, but cult-like following that is growing in numbers at an impressive rate.  If would probably be growing even faster if it wasn’t so completely puzzling for most people that encounter it.  To the uneducated, intermittent fasting probably doesn’t look that dissimilar from simple starvation

I got lots of comments, emails and messages about the tabata workout that I posted last month. Many of you are using it and like the tabata format. I’ve received requests for more variations of the workout so you can mix it up a little.

Welcome to the fourth edition! Surf holiday, a necessary part of a surfer’s life. As much fun as togging up into your cold wetsuit in the howling wind, pouring rain with frost on the ground is, once in a while it’s nice to go escape to warmer climates.

Save8Favorite0 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

This holiday season, get slim without the gym with high-intensity interval training (HIIT).Photos.comhttp://pgoaspryliving2.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/hiit.jpgShare this: Pin ItEmailPrintLet’s be real: Who has time for hour-long workouts these days? Especially during the holidays, when long to-do lists, social obligations and travel plans all conspire to disrupt your fitness routine? But just because you can’t make it to the gym doesn’t mean you should let fitness fall to the wayside. This holiday season, squeeze in a quick, fat-blasting workout in ten minutes or less with high-intensity interval training, or HIIT.“High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest,” explains Lisa Kinder, a certified fitness instructor and brainchild behind the DVD, “10 Minute Solution: High Intensity Interval Training.” “It gets you fitter in less time by supercharging your metabolism, burning fat and strengthening your cardiovascular system,” Lisa notes
