Shows you proven, fast and easy-to-follow ways to burn fat, build muscle and get the lean, strong, healthy body you've always wanted. http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com Do you have a picture in your mind of your "dream" body? Perhaps all you want is a few inches of new muscle on your chest, shoulders and arms... maybe you'd like to give your physique a complete overhaul and gain 20 or 30 pounds of mass in a hurry. Whatever it is, if you want to turn that dream into reality, you'll need to apply one simple principle to your training program. Anyone who's ever made the transition from weak and puny to big and strong has used it. And if you want to "get big," you'll need to use it to. http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/muscle_tips.htm I've had a few questions from Men's Health readers, who read a quote in the UK edition of Men's Health (July 2007) that was attributed to me. This appears to have created some confusion as to whether or not I'm recommending Rego Nocté (a protein supplement made by a British company called Science in Sport designed to be taken at night before you go to bed), as I've written previously that these types of products are not necessary for most people consuming a well-planned diet. http://thefactsaboutfitness.com/2007/06/protein-supplement-confusion.htm You might have heard of Craig Ballantyne. He's the author of Turbulence Training, a fat-loss system designed specifically to help busy men and women get better, faster results in the least amount of time. If you need help getting in shape for the summer and you don't want to give up your summer nights and be a slave to the gym, Craig has some great ideas you can use to burn fat and build muscle. http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/tt/index.htm If you're trying to get lean and defined in time for the summer, you might be interested in this interview I did with Craig Ballantyne where I dispel some of the most popular myths about burning fat and losing weight. Craig is probably best known for developing Turbulence Training, an extremely popular fat loss system designed specifically to help busy men and women get the best results in the least amount of time. http://thefactsaboutfitness.com/2007/05/fat-loss-facts-and-fallacies.htm If you live in the UK, you might have seen my Cardio Carnage program in the latest issue of Men's Health magazine (pages 174-175). If you're bored with your current workout and want to push your cardiovascular fitness to the next level, this is a really challenging four-discipline workout that uses several different types of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). http://thefactsaboutfitness.com/2007/04/cardio-carnage.htm You've been following what you consider to be a "healthy" low-fat diet. You've cut out butter, red meat, coffee and whatever else the "food police" say is bad for you this week. You're eating 4-5 small meals a day, no carbohydrates after 7pm, and still... no weight loss. Why isn't it working? http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/sub_diet.htm This behind-the-scenes look at some of Britain's top natural bodybuilders shows what can be achieved with a combination of hard work in the gym, good nutrition and a lot of persistence. http://thefactsaboutfitness.com/2007/04/behind-scenes-with-bodybuilders.htm For some, "clean eating" can take on an almost religious importance, where any deviation is seen as the equivalent of dancing with the dietary devil. My own view is that clean eating is not necessary or even desirable for people who want to lose fat. As I see it, having some kind of "cheat" meal once or twice per week can actually help with fat loss from both a physiological and psychological point of view. http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/news/clean.htm Just the other day, I came across a story about another "revolution in weight loss," with scientists claiming to have devised a workout that burns three times more fat than regular workouts lasting twice as long. According to the story, the researchers found their specific brand of interval training triggers a metabolic response that allows more fat to be burned under the skin and within the muscles. http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/news/8seconds.htm If you want to end 2007 with more muscle than you have right now, the exercise I'm about to reveal is one I believe to be one of the most valuable and result-producing "exercises" you’ll ever do. http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/news/log.htm
