Welcome to Innovative Fat Loss Training!

Let’s face it. You’re tired of trying to figure out what the best workout is.

I know.

I’ve been providing personal and group fitness programs since 1991, and the question I’m asked more often than any other is ‘How do I lose this?’ (often accompanied by a grabbing of the gut, love handles, or rear end!)

The days of bodybuilding workouts are over, and it’s just as well, because the average individual is never going to have the time and commitment that bodybuilders need to look like they do.

Besides – you just want to lose bodyfat, not look like an American Gladiator, right?

I have only one equation for my workouts, and for those I develop for clients: Maximum Calories for Time. Even if you have only 20 minutes, you can experience a more effective workout than in an hour at any gym.

The keys are intensity and efficiency, the cornerstones of interval training. Simply stated, you need to work hard for short periods of time, using as much muscle as possible, alternating with short periods of active recovery.

The best way to accomplish this is to select exercises and activities that involve the whole body. More muscle challenged means more calories burned during and after your workout.

Recent scientific studies document that fat loss from interval training far exceeds that of ‘traditional cardio’ like running on a treadmill.

There are a multitude of great total-body exercises to choose from, but if I had to choose only ten to design a fat-blasting workout with, here are the winners:

1) bodyweight pull-ups

2) squat jumps

3) plyometric push-ups

4) speed skater to elevation

5) bodyweight row (chains or bar)

6) split squat jumps

7) gymnast push-up (chain)

8) burpee/pushup/jump-up

9) hanging diagonal knee tuck

10) shuttle runs/sprints


Trust me on this one; for a bunch of exercises you could do at a playground, when done in combinations, they will kick your butt (and burn fat off it as well!) I guarantee that incorporating full-body workouts into your program will bring you better results than any traditional in-the-gym workout!


Now go blast some bodyfat!
