A woman asked me last week why she wasn’t making any progress on her fat loss and weight loss…..after asking her a few questions, I found two main problems with her fitness program…..

1) she wasn’t eating right and 2) she was working out TOO LONG (2 hours per workout) and TOO SLOW (workout included 1 hour of machine cardio)!

I don’t know who has time to workout for 2 hours….alot of you have this mindset: longer workouts are better…..this couldn’t be further from the truth….

The truth is that no weight training workout (including bodyweight training) needs to exceed 50 minutes….and interval cardio workouts should be about 20 minutes….shorter, more intense workouts will give you more calorie-burn, more fat-burn, more weight loss and fewer repetitive stress injuries! And, you will have more time to do the things you want to do in life.

One more tip: You don’t need to workout everyday……5-6 days of working out is enough! Some weeks, you might need 2 days off…..listen to your body!

Workout smarter and harder, not longer!
