Now the Fun Begins.
Now that you have a handle on your caloric intake through the use of your food journal, and have shifted some of your meals around, it is time to Get to Work (See prior articles, Extreme Training: Fat Loss 1, Extreme Training: Fat Loss 2, Extreme Training: Fat Loss 3, Extreme Training: Fat Loss 4, and Extreme Training:Fat Loss 5 ( if you need a refresher.)
Understanding and refining you diet are important steps to fat loss. Maintaining a Food Journal is also Critical.
But the best results you will obtain are going to come from performing the Optimal Extreme Training Program.
Once you have determined your base caloric needs – maintenance calories (what you can eat without gaining weight) it is time to bring Extreme Training into the picture.
Just like Diet, Exercise is a very Personal thing. You should enjoy what you do, be challenged by it, and feel a sense of accomplishment that it so motivating you are compelled to return to the gym and train with an even increased level of intensity.
So, at this juncture it is time to make some decisions concerning what physical activities you enjoy or would like to try and set up a Plan of Action.
Your Plan of Action should be based on the following 3 decisions:
1. How much time are you committed to spend training on a daily or weekly basis?
2. How committed are you to achieving your fat loss goals?
3. Are you Willing and Courageous enough to try different exercise forms or are you a creature of habit who likes to do the same thing over and over? Creatures of habit tend to be Prey, where the Courageous are the Predators!
Then, you need to Plan and Commit to a Specific and Sacred time for your Training. This time must be included in your schedule as a critical level appointment with your Destiny. If you are willing to constantly shift your training time, or worse, skip it altogether, you need to question how committed you really are to achieving your objectives. Without Commitment and Consistency Nothing will Happen and you will end up back where you started from, or as is more often the case, worse off.
As you think about the above questions, there are 4 Essential Factors to keep in mind:
1. The better your Condition Becomes the more Intensity you will need to apply to your Work in Order to get Continued and Lasting Results.
2. Variety is Essential. Your body adapts to new exercises quickly. This is why the Extreme Training Zone recommends changing your workout from day to day – never do the same exact workout twice.
3. Increase your Training Program and Intensity Slowly. You will be training for the Rest of Your Life. Why rush things (and risk injury or burnout)? Go at a pace that you are comfortable with and every week add a little more. Increasing Intensity does not always mean an increase in exercise time. It means Working Harder on a Consistent Basis.
4. Finally, over the years more and more research is proving (and all of my clients can attest to this) that “long slow fat burning pace” workouts are far less effective at burning fat than intense work performed for a shorter duration. The good news is with the right Extreme Program you do not need to spend hours on a treadmill or exercise bike (you would be better off lifting the treadmill and bike and walking around the block with them).
On the Extreme Training Zone Program you will Work Hard, Work Fast, constantly mix things up, Learn and Develop skills, such as balance and coordination that you didn’t know you had and develop a state of Functional Strength and Endurance (real world stuff) that will melt away not only unwanted fat, but Years as Well.
Sound to good to be true? It’s not. The very real cost is Commitment, a Spirit of Adventure, Consistent Hard Work, and an Intelligent Training Plan with Intelligent Fitness Professionals (like those found at the Extreme Training Zone at Peak Physique in Denver Co.) to help guide you along the path to Optimal Conditioning.
The next Installment of this Extreme Training: Real Fat Loss series will introduce you to the basic Extreme Training Concepts ( some of which have been discussed in some detail on this site in prior articles) and help you design an individual program that you need to develop Razor Sharp Muscles, Cuts, Strength, Endurance, Speed, and the Body of Your Dreams.
Have Fun in Your Training and Prepare to Embark on the Exciting Journey of an Extreme Life!
