Has anyone read the book? I just finished. My friend gave it to me. She has had great results in two weeks. I just started it and am extremely excited. It all makes so much sense what the book tells you. In summary the book explains how cardio isn't the great weight loss tool that we have been brain washed to think. The best way to take off the weight and actually change the shape of your body is to weight train and count your calories.

Obviously this is an advanced workout...you shouldn't do it unless you are already in great shape. Fortunately, this can all easily be adapted. Appropriate exercises can be subbed in: Drop down to 150 total reps, or 4-6 exercises of 15-25 reps each. For example, you might try this workout, great for a guy with moderate fitness: 15 bodyweight rows 25 bodyweight squats 15 pushups 50 jumping jacks 20 mountain climbers 10 close grip pushups 15 bodyweight rows

To burn fat reistance and calories, resistance training is superior. Training with weights also has the added benefit of increasing muscle mass and creating the type of body shaping changes that most are looking for. The benefit of weight training lasts long after the workout is over due to the body repairing itself and making itself stronger. However, to really burn calories using resitance training you have to up your intensity. In other words you really need to feel the burn. This is past the level most are comfortable with. If you are already a highly trained athlete then cardio will help lean you out but again the intensity needs to be there. Cardio does have a catabolic effect on muscle so you need to make sure your protien intake is high enough to prevent this. Body comp changes come primarily through diet. So if you want to drop some weight get your diet in check. 70% comes from diet and 30% from training in my opinion. If you want to build muscle the same ratio comes into play although the diet is different. The real benefit from cardio is it's ease of use. All can do it and all will see a benefit from it. Cardio also offers important conditioning benefits primarily having to do with the cardiovascular system. Additionally for an athlete pushing your areobic threshold past that of your opponenst is vital. Sorry for the long winded posts but I train a lot and this topic always comes up at the gym with my buds. I train both with weights and on a bike but probably spend 75% of my training time with the iron and 25% on cardio or other aerobic activities.

In order to succeed at weight loss, your metabolism must go up, or at the very least stay the same, but never , ever decrease. If you diet without strength training, you will lose fat and muscle. As a result of the muscle loss, your metabolism will go down. If you diet and perform cardiovascular excercise, you will lose fat and possibly even more muscle. As a result, your metabolism will go down even farther. If you diet and perform strength training, you will lose ONLY fat, increase your muscle, and make your metabolism go up. Sounds to me like the only winning combination. Muscles is preserved and increased ONLY through strength training, and the single most important goal of any excersize must be to preserve and increase your body's lean muscle tissue at all costs. " "Muscle burns ten to twelve times the calories per pound each day that fat does" ... Strength training can potentially increase your metabolism by 15% which translates into a 270 extra calorie burned for a resting 5'5" 130lb female. So instead of having a 1800 calorie a day burn for doing absolutely nothing you can increase it to 2070 a day resting burn. Hope that makes sense. I just really excited about it...as i sit here typing my muscles are quivering!

But It gets my heart rate up most definitely. 10 excersizes one set of each in the first phase (3 times a week) Phase two add 2 ...so 12 excersizes and add a second set to 6 of those (alternating each day 1-6 on monday 7-12 on wed 1-6 friday and so on). Phase three..add 2.. so 14 excersizes add a second set to 7 of those. Phase four..add 2 .. so 16 excersizes and do a second set for all 16 His definition of a cardio free diet is.. East less, Increase your activity, elevate your basal metabolic rate. I'm going to find a excerpt that helps to explain...

We'll see what happens. I took my measurements rather than weight. See how many inches i loose. off to work out sass

Dieting has been the only way I have ever effectively lost weight. If you were closer to me poly I'd lend you the book. It really gets you thinking. I was a sceptic before i read it. Fun...I'll bring the book to dinner...I'd really love to pick your brain about it more. Don is starting the same program today...and he too was like "whatever Kelly" Jim Karas is the dude who wrote it..and one of his many famous clients who had fab results is Diane Sawyer. I think the book said she lost dress sizes.
