Top Ways To Get in Shape

So there is so much conflicting information all around you - telling you how to get in shape. Maybe you have an upcoming wedding, or maybe your doctor has given you some hard and unwelcome facts.

Whatever your reasons for being here, you can get some impartial and educated opinion about the top ways to get in shape.

Cleansing and Detoxifying Your Body

The Purifying Head Start

Cleansing or Detoxing your body will give you a great head start down your path to getting in great shape.

Western style diets are not healthy for the human body. Diets rich in processed and 'fast' foods are low in fibre and high in saturated fats. The human colon is not designed to process this type of food. We are designed to eat whole and raw food types, rich in fibre, maintaining a healthy digestive tract and ensuring that no internal colon waste build up accumulates over time.

Internal Poisons and Toxins

This waste tends to absorb toxins and poisons that the body would normally expel and can account for up to 10 pounds of waste being carried around inside us. A master cleanse should be carried out every year in order to clean out this built up waste. It is an essential part of a healthy body.

During a cleanse a black hardened mucus like substance is often expelled as part of the process. When you see this waste yourself you will be horrified, but over the moon that it is no longer in your body.

The good things about this particular cleanse are:

- You can eat some foods that don't interfere with the process during the cleanse
- Special ways to get past the critical '3 day hump'
- Powerful methods to master cravings
- The main mistakes everyone makes when starting a cleanse.
- And more...

Here's what you can expect:

- You'll normalize your appetite and metabolism so your body can naturally and comfortably adjust to it's ideal weight for your size
- Your suppressed hormone levels will be restored so every cell in your body will feel youthful
- There will be a natural shift away from unhealthy habits - without will power
- You'll cleanse and detox your entire body - the pounds of waste built up over the years will be released in just 10 days
- Reduced internal inflammation, which will ease aching joints
- Your energy levels will soar
- And much more...

Nutrition - Weight Loss is about 70% Nutrition and 30% Exercise

So What Are you Putting in Your Body for Fuel?

Whether we admit it or not, we all know that losing weight means making sacrifices - not eating that bowl of ice-cream before bed, or taking it easier on the alcohol intake.

All weight loss programs must be about lifestyle changes and be sustainable! If it's not, then forget about it - might work for a while, but sooner or later you're likely to fall off the cart.

You need to fuel your body with clean burning fuel for it to function the way that it should.

Breads, Rices and Potatoes - Should be limited in portion and only eaten until about 4pm. Only Brown or Whole Wheat (for slow digestion and release). This will keep your metabolism nicely stoked through the day for constant energy.

Meats, Dairy and Fish - Meat should be lean (trimmed of all fat and skin), dairy (1% fat or under) and any fish is great. The more fish the better. Salmon is high in fat but the fat is a 'good fat'.

Fruits and Vegetables - As many vegetables as you can eat at any time - with the exception of potatoes and rice. Limit fruit intake to the day due to the high sugar content.

Sweets, Fast Foods and Candies -It is well known that you need to limit your intake of these items. They are not clean food for your body. If you have to indulge eat small portions during the daytime, not at night.

There is a new theory on the integration of fasting into a weight loss diet - this is different from the cleansing/ detox just discussed.

Some big names in the industry are on board (Craig Ballantine, Turbulance Training and Men's Health Magazine) and it may be worthwhile checking it out! I've just ordered it and will be shortly dissecting the theory and program. It's pretty affordable - only about $14.

The Workout Part Of The Equation

It's All About The Workout!

So we get to the meat and potatoes section...

You're cleansed, purged of toxins and gunk from your colon, your new lifestyle diet is starting to come on track and you're feeling good...so what else can you do?

Increasing Your Metabolism

So the KEY TO WEIGHT LOSS when it comes to exercise is this one factor. If your body uses more energy than you put into it you will lose weight.

Strength Train
If you strength train you will ensure that this weight loss is mostly fat, not muscle.

You want to maximize lean muscle mass on your body - EVEN THE WOMEN OUT THERE. Lean muscle burns fat and ensures that your metabolism will burn fast and hot. This will ensure that you lose fat at the fastest rate that your body can, while ensuring that the weight loss is fat weight.

High Intensity Training
Don't let this scare you away. You control the intensity of how hard you train. As long as you are healthy with no heart, skeletal or other health problems you can train this way.

All it means is train hard for short periods, not easy for long periods.

* Run up stadium steps then do some pushups at the top.
* Run fast on the beach for one minute then do a plank/ bridge.
* It's up to your imagination to design a program.

The first few weeks take it easy and ease into it - if you haven't worked out in a while. Use your common sense, and speak to your MD if you need to.

The best way for beginners to learn about High Intensity Interval Training is from Craig Ballantine, Men's Health Specialist, Cetified Personal Trainer and the founder of Turbulence Training.

Turbulence Training is focussed on interval and circuit type training, and is exceptionally effective at raising your metabolism, maintaining and gaining muscle mass and hence, burning fat.

High Intensity Interval Training with Craig Ballantine

High Intensity Interval Training

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! http://www.turbulencetraining.com Today we are going to cover High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). You've probably heard about HIIT a lot these days because it is being used in a lot of programs for fat loss. Smart trainers know that it is much more effective than regular slow, boring cardio, and you actually get results as compared to other cardio workouts where you aren't seeing any results at all. So HIIT means any type of sprint exercise that lasts from about 0-90 seconds. Anything longer than 2 minutes can get into what is known as aerobic interval training. Therefore, normally you want to sprint for 15, 30 or even 45 seconds, after which time you go down to a very easy period of exercise. That is one of the biggest mistakes most people make when doing interval training. Many people don't drop the intensity down low enough during the recovery period. For example, if you are going at 10 mph and you only drop down to 8 mph then in effect you're really still doing cardio and not high intensity interval training. You will not allow you body to sufficiently recover from the sprint portion and so you won't be able to sprint hard at 10 mph the next time around. So, you want to make sure you are going from hard to easy, or going from a sprint to a walk. It is okay to walk in interval training as this will allow you to work really hard and thus provide you with all the benefits of HIIT. Here is an example of a high intensity interval training workout. Start out with a 5-10 minute warm-up and then jump into a high intensity interval where you can't possibly maintain a pace longer than 30-45 seconds. After 45 seconds, take the intensity down to a very low recovery walking pace. It doesn't matter if you are sprinting at 8, 10 or 12 mph, you still need to come down to the walking pace. That would classify as one interval, and you will do about 6 in a workout, finishing with a cooldown. That is high intensity interval training, and it will get you more results in terms of your fat loss program and in sport specific conditioning, as well as fitter for everyday activities.

Great overview on different aspects of getting into shape. Don't know how many people know about the cleansing start phase though!
