Advanced "Fast Death" Bodyweight WorkoutWorkout

Think you need weights or machines to get a super-effective workout if you're already in decent shape? Think again. The video below proves, once again, that all anyone ever really needs to burn fat quickly and efficiently, build sexy lean muscle, and develop fantastic "functional" strength is their own bodyweight. Pullups, jump squats, and one-legged "pistol" squats will provide anyone (even Bruce Lee!) with an incredible butt-kicking full-body workout in as little as 10 or 15 minutes. Watch this...



Very nice. Thanks Zuzana!

Video: Metabolic Circuit Bodyweight Training

Looking for the best form of exercise to burn fat and lose weight fast? Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that we are big fans of "metabolic circuit" training, which involves doing short workouts based around intense sets of full-body strength training movements with brief recovery periods. This form of training is fantastic for burning fat quickly, developing great functional strength, and building sexy lean muscle tissue... all at the same time! Below is a nice video that shows a great bodyweight-only metabolic circuit workout:



If you do that kind of workout just 2 or 3 times a week (and eat a healthy, lower-carb diet) we can pretty much guarantee that you'll lose pounds of flab quickly while toning up your body and dramatically improving your health. Give it a try and see for yourself just how effective this is!

"Health" Foods That Aren't Healthy at All

There are so many fake "health" foods out there it's mind-blowing! Some very popular examples: Vitamin Water, flavored yogurts, soy protein products, and protein/weight loss bars. They all contain refined sugars, refined fats, unhealthy oils, and/or ingredients proven to cause health problems.
