Tabatas are an interval exercise that will blast fat! Choose four exercises that use the big muscles, i.e. butt, legs, chest and upper back.  You can also choose full body exercises like burpees or jack squats. Each exercise is done for 20 seconds with all out effort, then rest for 10 seconds.  Repeat for a total of 8 intervals.  Move on to the next exercise in the same fashion.  Tabatas are not for the beginner exerciser or faint of heart.  They are great for the exerciser who has reached a plateau and wants to see change.

Boot Camp class is a great way to burn some fat!  I am planning hIgh energy fast intervals combined with slow controlled big muscle exercise……oh, it’s going to be GOOOOD!  Sometimes, when you train by yourself it is difficult to push…but in a boot camp class, you will want to at least try and keep up.  (Listen to your own body, though!) It’s important to eat exceptionally nutrient dense and drink lots of clean water so that your body is ready for the hard work!  Today I started with spinach and eggs and sprouted grain bread (NO REFINED FLOUR!).  Grapes and a pear are in the plan for mid-meal grabs,  lunch will be steak and salad, dinner will be chili over baked potato and low fat cottage cheese.  Prob a protein smoothie in there somewhere.  What are you eating today?

What a great way to start the day!  I jogged to a nearby street with a 5% incline or so, and jogged up and down 3x, then jogged back home.  The sun and nice breeze was so refreshing!  20 mins total of nice intervals!  Where’s my F.A.T. BLAST group?  What has been your cardio for the day, and what was your experience?
