5 Ways to Burn Fat -- Starting Today!
Author: Craig Ballantyne, Cscs, M.sc.  | Posted: 21-09-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 17 | Rating: (52)  (?) 
 Today is the worst day to start a fat-loss program. You’re busy. You have a special dinner tonight. And you left your workout clothes at home.
But you know you’ll find excuses like that every day. So while today is the worst day, it’s also the best day to start changing your health and body. Here are five ways to start burning fat today.
1. Start Strength Training. A recent study showed resistance training boosts metabolism by 10 percent and increases fat burning by 100 percent! If you don’t have a gym membership, start with some beginner pushups and bodyweight squats at home. You’ll be done in less than 10 minutes.
2. Try Interval Training The latest research from Australia shows interval training leads to more weight loss than long, slow cardio workouts. So if you are doing traditional cardio, switch to interval training. Strength training and interval training are the one-two punch that can blowtorch fat off your body.
3. Eat 6 Small Meals of Whole, Natural Foods. Fruits and vegetables, protein, nuts and healthy fats--it’s that simple. Don't spend another dollar on the latest fad diet. You already know what to do!
4. Avoid Booze, Sugar, Trans Fats and Inactivity. Plan ahead to avoid eating poorly or drinking too much at cocktail parties. Substitute a glass of sparkling water for alcoholic beverages. And avoid processed foods and late-night eating.
5. Do Something You Love. If you’re a beginner and you hate the idea of exercise and big nutritional change, just do something you love! Don't make healthy lifestyle a prison sentence. Enjoy what you eat and do. Just don't eat garbage and don't look at exercise as punishment.

Does the Perfect pushup work better than lifting heavy weights?
By: Rugbyballer | 08-08-2008
does the perfect pushup actually work better than weights and if so how. I have used it and in 5 to 10 days my chest feels fuller and looks bigger, why do they work better than lifting weights at making your chest bigger even when I max out at bench press at about 290.

Hockey Training
By: Reid | 08-07-2008
Hi,
I play hockey on the Maine Select team and have been convinced to start training at the gym. I have been told to do high reps, and lower weights as I am only 5'6 and 120 lbs. I am 15, and have been watched by both junior and prep school teams, so I feel as though I should start getting serious about off-ice training. I was hoping you would be able to help put me on the right path with exercises, plyometrics, etc. Maybe a training regimine.
