5 Tips on How to Lose Fat

I just spent a few days down in Gaithersburg, Maryland, meeting with some clients and coaches. It was amazing to see the transformations in so many folks using fat burning interval training workouts.

But...

Despite so many success stories, there were many cries for help.

Some folks struggled with sticking to their nutrition, workouts, and motivation...so here are 5 of the many tips I gave over the week...

1) To lose fat...You must figure out what works for you.

That's why tracking your workouts and nutrition is so important, especially for beginners and for folks who want advanced results (such as Body Transformation Contest winners). Once you know what works for you, it becomes almost impossible for you to gain the weight back. So get testing and tracking.

2) Hit a personal best in your workouts.

Hit a personal best in your workout - in at least one exercise. Do an extra rep for an exercise or the same number of reps with 2-5% more weight. Every workout do a little bit better. That's how you change your body.

3) Turn healthy actions into habits.

We are what we repeatedly do. At first you might need a checklist or some reminders to drink 2 glasses of water first thing in the morning or to have Green Tea as a 10am break. But eventually these healthy actions will become fat burning habits.

4) Baby step your way to success

If things are hard, just take it one step at a time. Take baby steps to success. You don't have to change everything overnight. Make one small change in your fitness and nutrition program every day.

5) Make yourself accountable to others.

Research shows that being accountable to a friend or fitness professional are both proven ways of helping folks lose fat. Get a nutrition buddy at work, a workout partner for your Turbulence Training sessions, or a trainer who you see once per month to check your form and fat percentages.

Bonus Tip:

Include some type of challenge workout in your program at least once per month. It could be the Bodyweight 500 workout or the 30-minute bodyweight challenge, or even just a test of your bodyweight squats, chinups (or rows), pushups and 200 meter run time.

Testing and tracking that info will help you stick to your program and show you what works.

And all of that will help you finally lose fat with these tips.
