High Intensity Interval Training (known as H.I.I.T.) is taking the fitness industry by storm! As it name suggests H.I.I.T is an “intense” workout that alternates between high intensity bouts and minimal moments of low intensity/rest. It’s the only way I train, and guess what? I am not the only one.

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

What To Know About Intermittent Fasting At February 19, 2013 By admin In Healthy Living 0 What To Know About Intermittent FastingIf you’ve just started working with your personal trainer Melbourne, you’re already getting the help you need on the workout side of the equation. But, what should you be doing when it comes to your diet plan?Diet and exercise go hand in hand when you want to transform your body, so now that you have your personal trainer Melbourne by your side, you need to consider the nutritional approach you should use.One approach that more and more people are growing increasingly interested in is intermittent fasting.Let’s take a closer look at what you need to know about intermittent fasting to see if it’s right for you.It’s Great For Those With Busy Schedules Can’t seem to find the time in the day to cook and eat your meals? If so, intermittent fasting could be for you. The great thing about this diet protocol is that you only will be eating for a short time frame each day and the rest of the hours you won’t have to concern yourself with food.For those who don’t want to stop and eat six times a day, it’s ideal.It’s Ideal For Those Who Prefer Larger, More Satisfying Meals Second, this approach is also perfect for those who find they are never satisfied after eating six small meals a day.When using the frequent meal approach, your calories per meal are going to be much lower and more like snacks than full blown meals.For some people, this just makes them feel hungrier throughout the day.If you feel like that describes you, you’ll definitely do well with the intermittent fasting approach. You’ll get to have far more calories per meal and thus can eat foods that you may not typically get to eat using the mini-meal set-up.It Can Help Boost Energy And Insulin Sensitivity Another nice thing about intermittent fasting is that some people find that they actually have more energy on this approach.

Happy Fitness Friday (well, now it’s Saturday but we’ll roll with it…)! I’m trying to focus the first few posts on workouts that you can do at home or at the gym with bodyweight or minimal equipment before I start getting into more complex workouts that use a variety of equipment. Today I have a 20-minute tabata workout for you.What is tabata?Tabata-style workouts are a form of high intensity interval training where you work a certain movement or exercise at max effort for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest for a period of four minutes.What are the benefits of tabata training?When you work short bursts of all-out effort you are training in an anaerobic pathway.

As you’ve probably guessed this is another post in my “fat as debt” series.A topic I’ve probably written about ad nauseum  However, just because I’m beating a dead horse doesn’t mean the message is any less important.The EXACT same things that are making us fat are also making us deeply in debt and Vice Versa.In fact, we (at least North America) largely live in a debt-based society, and it shows in the way we approach both food and money.Long gone are the days of saving for something you want – These days you simply check to see if you have enough room on your credit card, then you buy it.Typically this is done after some self talk about ‘deserving it’ or how ‘good of a deal it is’, then promising to yourself that you’ll pay it back as soon as possible.This exact same mentality is apparent in how we eat.It’s perfectly acceptable to diet AFTER a big celebration of eating, but it is not acceptable to diet before, in anticipation of a big eating celebration.Even though Advent, the 3-4 week period for before Christmas, was originally a fast to PREPARE for the feast, essentially doing the food equivalent of saving up FIRST before buying something we really want.Instead we approach food like we do our expenses… We convince ourselves that we deserve it or need it, and that we will simply pay it off (*burn it off) later.But in reality there is nothing wrong with saving up first, just as there is nothing wrong with preparing when you know there will be a feast.Somehow we’ve been taught that this is the wrong approach.Prepare for big purchases… Whether it’s a new couch, or a Super Bowl Feast.BPTagged as: dieting after a feast, fasting after feasting, Feasting

I promised myself that I wouldn’t take it upon myself to DEFEND intermittent fasting…mostly because I do not see that as my role.I enjoy intermittent fasting, and it is what I do to stay lean. I am educated in intermittent fasting, and I enjoy writing about it, but I don’t see it as my child that I need to defend when someone kicks sand in its face on the playground that is the internet.Yet, here I am.Hopefully, you’ll see that I’m not about to defend Intermittent Fasting, but rather defend logical thought.Most of (but not all) the slander about intermittent fasting that is popping up on the net is a mix of purposeful attacks (typically to gain traffic and Google rankings) and logical fallacies – ideas that seem logical, but on further investigation are lacking in soundness and validity.I really don’t mind when people discuss possible negatives of IF, since it forces me to expand my understanding of the research. However, I do mind when people cloud the science of IF with logical fallacies.I want to start with an obvious logical fallacy – that a high protein diet is exactly the same as intermittent fasting because it has almost identical effects on hypocretin neurons. Fine, then by that rationale, intermittent fasting is exactly the same as a high protein diet.Obviously this is incorrect, since high protein diets have  myriad of health effects the intermittent fasting simply does not have. Which is exactly my point – intermittent fasting also has a myriad of health effects that a high protein diet does not have

Yesterday I wrote a post about how you should go ‘back-to-basics’  if you have stopped getting weight loss results from your intermittent fasting routine (You can read it HERE). Basically, I was suggesting that our natural tendency is to add complication in order to ‘speed things up’ especially where weight loss is concerned. Despite our natural tendency to always want to add complication, my advice is if weight loss slows or stops your best bet is to remove complication instead of adding to it.Today’s post will be about what happens when you are already back-to-basics and for some reason you are still having some problems with weight loss.In this example you are doing Eat Stop Eat perfectly: One or two fasts per week, no crazy binges, no crazy restrictive dieting, no excessive exercise, a good well designed workout program. You were losing weight and everything was great. Then one day…nothing.In this situation the first thing I want you to do is RELAX.
