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

I’m kinesiologist, I have the easy part. It’s fun to move (but sometimes we also suffers a bit).In my opinion, nutritionists have it not easy. I do not want to be in their place. That is why I decided to take care of physical activity and not nutrition.I am often ask:  How to eat to lose weight or gain muscles?Since I do not make nutrition plans, I rather adhere to the principles that work, and on all diets.

By Andrew Heffernan / June 2013: Discover Something WonderfulWhen it comes to cardio exercise, most gym-goers are either hares or tortoises: They like their workouts fast and furious or they like them slow and leisurely. Hares love the intensity of going full out; tortoises relish the relaxed groove of a meditative pace.Both types of exercise have proven benefits. Problems can arise, however, when you stick too closely to one type of workout or the other. That’s because your body runs on three separate but interrelated metabolic engines: the aerobic, the glycolytic and the ATP-CP systems. (For more on these systems, see ELmag.com/energysystems.) Each is built to power you through a different type of exercise.Slow and steady long-distance exercise uses primarily the “aerobic” system.

You run and you run, and you don’t shed a pound. It’s one of the leading emotional pain points for people who exercise. All of that effort and so little reward, but why is that? Simple: Cardio is not the fastest way to lose weight, and it’s certainly not the only way. There is a solution, though, which will allow you to spend less time in the gym and see even better results.You’ve Heard: You Can’t Burn Fat With Strength TrainingFar too many people are focused on how many calories they burn while they’re in the gym, but this is shortsighted.Stop focusing on how many calories you burn in the gym and instead focus on how your body expends calories outside the gym
