Diet and exercise are two of the common strategies to reduce weight. In fact, they're truly the only two ways to lose weight for good. But for some reason, the research on this subject is apparently inconcluive. Meaning, whether a diet-plus-exercise intervention is more effective for weight loss than a diet-only intervention in the long-term has not been conclusively established.
However, brand new research, published in January 2009 in the journal Obesity Reviews, has finally answered this age-old question!
Some people jump on the low-fat craze while other jump on the low-carb bandwagon. But is there a difference between either one? And, if so, which is better?
Well, as you know, I'm not a huge fan of either approach but I've compiled some startling findings from recent research that will finally end the debate.
I just got back from the gym a little while ago and boy do I feel great.
What did I do to make me feel oh so good? Well, it was yet another fantastic full body workout. But today's session wasn't one my typical Fitter U full body workouts but rather a sport-specific Olympic lifting session that consisted of 4 major exercises that hit all of the muscles on my frame.
Back in my pro soccer days, these are the types of workouts I would do 3-4 times per week to improve my explosiveness. They are so effective at getting you stronger, more powerful, and burning fat (of course).
I am so grateful for all of our tremendous clients around the world. Learning about the life-changing results that they achieve with our programs is fantastic and only motivates me to keep working harder to serve you and everyone else that much more.
Recently, I received success stories from 2 of our Fitter U clients from the land down under (Australia). One of them, Chris, reported losing 7.4kg in just one month! If you want to know how to lose weight fast, then you've got to read what Chris wrote to me.
I also received a lengthy and heart-warming email from Vicki, another of our Fitter U clients. She came across the Fitter U ipod fitness program by searching the iTunes podcasts and...well, the rest is history.
These are just a few of the hundreds of testimonials we receive each month. So if you want to lose weight fast and use an awesome iPod fitness program then you owe to yourself to grab a copy of Fitter U!
I won't lie to you - to burn fat and get fit takes laser focused commitment and a lot of hard work. But some people make it more difficult than it needs to be. They use ineffective workouts. They spend too much time working out. They don't eat correctly, and on and on...
On the flipside, you have athletes (at least most of them) who achieve and maintain incredible physiques. They do this not by using some miracle drug but rather by training on a daily basis and nourishing their bodies with a high quality energy diet.
But what is it about their workouts that helps them burn fat and get fit?
Well, as a former professional soccer player, I'm about to spill the beans and share their secrets. I'm going to show you how to burn fat and get fitter than ever using "athletic-like" workouts that take less time than sitcom TV shows and burn more calories than any treadmill workout.

My brother, Adam, just put together another 2 entries into his Treadmill Trainer diary series. If you are not familiar with this initiative, he is basically sharing his workout-by-workout experience with the Treadmill Trainer ipod running workouts.
They're very inspiring, to say the least. Adam was an absolute beginner just a few months ago and now running is something he loves and excels at. Are you ready to be inspired?
I have to be honest - I wasn't in the greatest of moods today. I had some stuff happen in the business that kind of set me back and distracted me from what I needed to do.
But nonetheless, I knew that nothing can put you in a good mood like exercise. Since yesterday was an upper body workout, my legs were feeling fresh and ready to hit the treadmill for a crazy high intensity run!
I've got all the juicy details about this insane 30-minute cardio workout and there are also some valuable lessons about the appropriateness of interval training.
I am on a mission to empower millions of people around the world live their healthiest, fittest, and most energetic life ever!
