Good Cardio Workouts At Home and Not So Good Ones…

I’m sure you want fat burning good cardio workouts at home don’t you?

Who doesn’t? But there are some that are better than others…

good cardio workouts at homeStill nowadays most big fitness corporations and media outlets insist that aerobic style of exercising is a great way of losing weight.

The martial fitness users use a more strategic metabolic approach of intervals and dynamic exercises that keep you burning calories throughout the day.

There has even been research for the Study of Obesity, with subjects aged 40 to 75 where they were instructed to do 60 minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days per week for an entire year.

So considering you were doing that much exercise the weight loss results must
have been huge right?

I’m sure most would expect around 20 pounds or more lost of the period of time.

The results came back with an average weight loss for female subjects was only
4 pounds for the entire year, with the men losing 6.6 pounds of fat over the year.

Here are the take away points from this study.

Once you add up, that’s over 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a measly 6 pounds of fat.

In my opinion this is not time well spent at all.

You will want and expect to get way better results than that, and so you should.

Good cardio workouts at home…

So what will work better?

You will want to stick with the exercising that give you the after burn effect.

I spoke about earlier with burning calories throughout the day even after you have finished your workout.

Overall you will workout less, lose tons more fat, build strength, and sculpt your body for better results.

So whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio exercise workouts.

And get on board the fat burning train.

Exercises For Inner Thighs That Burns Fat Fast

In today’s post we are going to look at a few quick exercises for inner thighs that can be done at home or anywhere with a little space around you.

The thigh area is a common problem for a lot women so i knew this blog post will serve you all well.

So today i’m going to share with you a super combo exercise which interlinks two separate exercises into one power movement.

I like to do this a lot in my teachings and training as it shocked our bodies more into fat burning mode with burning more calories.

If your the type of person who has struggled with their weight over the years, you would have tried lot’s of different methods out their to get in shape and lose weight.

But here’s the thing…

What you should be looking for is the long term success.

So if you can literally take one or two steps in the right direction each week to getting the toned trimmed healthy body you will succeed.

You just need a little motivation along the way.

Combo Exercises For Inner Thighs

Now when most people want to lose fat off of their inner thigh, they need to realise that your thighs are going to become slimmer all around not just in one area.

But to be honest that’s a great thing to hear…

So here is the first exercise for your inner thighs, and i call it the “Sumo side kick!”

exercises for inner thighsSimilar to how the sumo wrestler squats down as seen in the picture to the right, you want to hold the squat down and then explode up to the side with firing the kick out.

When you do the side kick you want to try not to wobble all over the place.

And if you do it usually means you are kicking to high.

You will want to hit 15 out each side (left and right) and then rest and repeat again a couple of times.

What’s great about this exercise is that you can pick up the pace to work the cardio along with the resistance of the sumo squats.

Another plus side you will work your entire body doing this style workouts which i’m sure you’ll love compared to having to do lot’s of separate targeted exercises.

My clients love this one so make sure you give it a whirl.

The next part of the exercises for inner thighs isn’t really an exercise as such compared to the above one but is very important.

It’s actually a stretching exercise.

As you can see to the side it’s a real great targeted inner thigh stretch that will keep you loose and supple.

inner thigh exercise stretchLot’s of people don’t really bother to much with stretching but it’s always an important part of exercise.

The key is to not stretch cold, as this will give you an injury.

Always stretch after the workout is complete and your body and muscles are at it’s warmest.

Achieving your Goals

Whatever your goals might be this year from losing weight to wanting more energy or just being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breathe, just understand that you can do it.

You are not alone. The information is out there just like on my blog here and people on my personal coaching programs.

All you need to do is set your goals and write the plan of how to get there and actually take 100% responsibility to committing to them physically and mentally.

So there you have it. Two great different exercises for inner thighs.

“Something tells me you are already planning out choosing which shop to buy those new skinny jeans this year.”

Keep strong,

A New Year A New You…

By now a lot of people would have already fallen off the band wagon of new years diets and how they are going to exercise hard all the time to get in shape for 2012.

So why do we see so many people fail to continue with their plans for the new year.

Well i’m sure there are a lot of reasons why, but one of the main reasons is not being specific enough about what you really want to achieve.

The Truth

No low fat diets needed here. It’s gone with the days of munching on celery sticks and starving yourself with hoping you lose weight.

I was only chatting to a close family friend of mine who has served in the army for years, about how eating fat has got a bad rap over the years.

But Its the right type of fats we need like, nuts, avocado and butter.

Throw out those margarine’s that say how they are low fat and how if you eat them you won’t die of heart problems.

Actually it could’nt be farther from the truth.

Eat butter every time over bad hydrogenated margarine’s full of rubbish.

Here’s what you need to do…

You need to start educating yourself for 2012 and do this by not listening to advertisers who sell the magic pill or potion.

It’s all about eating real natural good foods and knowing how to create great and tasty recipes.

Well as i’m on a roll with what you need to do this year i might as well add some more points onwhat you need and don’t need to do this year.

There is really no need to count calories like many fitness guys and girls tell you to do.

The problem you run into is that not all calories are the same in certain foods. So some foods have better nutritional value than others.

Moving away from the nutrition section and on to the exercise part.

Exercising The New You

I’ve always said it and i’ll say it again… the best workout machine you can use is your own body.

This means there is no real need to go out and buy the latest 2012 fitness gadget or machine that promises you big things but never delivers the results.

So the question is what type of exercise should we do if we want to lose weight and burn fat off our bodies?

More and more people are now reaping the benefits of metabolic conditioning training, where you really only need 20 minutes for a great rapid results workout.

It’s all about you training the the right type of intensity and resistance to achieve what we called the after burn effect.

What this means is you will be still burning calories even after you have finished your 20 minute workout.

How cool is that? Yeah i know pretty good if you ask me : )

It’s quite funny as over the past few years this style of exercising is slowly becoming more popular than ever, which is great but over the past few months i have been digging out some of my old martial art training manuals and workouts from some of my old mentors and coaches and see that this was the style of training they taught back in the day.

Lot’s of my competition training routines were also in this style of training as they really do get you fit and increase your stamina ability.

Now i know that burning fat off your body is great, but that’s just one of the main benefits of exercising and eating the right foods.

Having more energy and releasing stress when exercising correctly is also a big one for most people who adapt to a fit and healthy lifestyle.

So i think i’ve covered quite a few areas on what you need to do this year to have the best year ever with creating a new fit you.

The best time to start is now.

Exercise Without Equipment – Get The Body You’ll Love

Yes you can get an amazing workout and exercise without equipment. I’m going to share a little story about how my methods is changing the way people are thinking about exercise.

There is a local lady i used to see rush off for her morning workout routine most days.

Last time i bumped into her she was saying how frustrated she was getting with her workouts.

Mainly because she was no where near losing the kind of weight she wanted to lose.

And here’s the thing.

When asking her what type of exercises she was doing in her hour long workout, it was soon clear for the reason why
the fat wasn’t coming off.

Here’s why…

She focused on the wrong type of exercises for real fatloss results.

Exercise Without Equipment vs Machines

Typical cardio machines are not enough to lose fat because they take up a lot of time and to be honest people don’t want to waste hours working out with getting little results.

It was a time for change and she needed to understand the methods and exercise without equipment.

So i shared some knowledge with her and put her through a few of my 10 minute routines.

I remember her saying you got to be joking with a 10 minute workout, right? And especially to exercise without equipment that she was conditioned to.

Well let’s just say she was shocked when the 10 minutes was up on my workout.

And now she understands it’s what you do with your time that counts.

So if you are struggling with that weight loss and want to look trim for the Christmas parties coming up, don’t worry.

You will want to head over now for the best 10 minute workouts the melt fat like butter.

I designed the workouts for both men and women to shrink their waistlines and get trim fast.

Once you discover how quick and effective these workouts are, you will be kicking yourself you wish you learned them earlier.

==> Burn More Fat in Less Time

All the best,

Richard Huntley

P.S. Oh just to add, that the local lady has now ditched her old workouts for the 10 minute
routines in the morning and she does most of her exercise without equipment.

Shes melting fat, feeling great and never looked better.

Jumping Jacks Benefits – Why They Work

Bored of the same old cardio exercise routine? Well in today’s article you are going to discover the jumping jacks benefits to helping you get in the best shape of your life.

I know for a fact that people give up with exercising because of one thing they’re not losing weight and not seeing any results, plus they are getting bored with the same old typical cardio workout routine.

As you know by now I’m a real big fan of bodyweight exercises and today i’ll share with you the benefits of an exercise which is called jumping Jacks aka like star jumps.

Jumping Jacks Benefits

So why jumping Jacks? Well it’s a good question, but most of all the reason why I like jumping jacks is you don’t need a lot of space and you don’t need to go to the gym and most of all you can do it any when and anywhere for a real great workout.

Look, the thing is you don’t need to spend hours working out on cardio machines at the gym to get a great fat burning workout.

What you really want to do is get your heart rate up and boost your metabolism with what I call my cardio conditioning training.

Jumping jacks are just one exercise which I like to do, and I mostly teach this to beginners because I feel everybody can do them.

They have that natural body movement which is great for a full body workout, and really I like to add these type of metabolic exercises in my workout routines and modify them.

A great example of what I call combo exercises are doing a standard jumping Jack then right after dropping down for a squat thrust to push up and backup to repeat the combo movement all over again.

Do you think you can burn more fun doing that type of combo exercise than on a average cardio machine?

Yes I’m sure you’re starting to think differently about your training already.

These type of exercises I like to do in set time intervals which basically means I will do the jumping jacks for 30 seconds and then when the 30 seconds is up I will then catch my breath and 15 seconds and repeat for around about 3 to 4 times depending what my workout looks like.

I guarantee if you start using these exercises at home you will see results.

The hardest part of doing any type of exercise is just started and once you get over that barrier of taking action you will be on a great momentum flow.

So there you have the jumping jacks benefits and remember if you are a newbie to exercise they are a perfect one for you, and if you are experienced I suggest you use my combo routines which I spoke about earlier.

Keep up the good work,

Richard Huntley

How to Motivate Yourself to Exercise: Bust Your Exercise Rut

This is one of the main reasons why people are not succeeding in achieving their fatloss goals and i’ll explain in the article how to motivate yourself to exercise.

So first off you need to watch out for those crabs…

Well i don’t know if you have ever seen what happens when you have a load of crabs in a pot
and one tries to escape the pot?

I remember seeing this for one of the first times when i went crab fishing as a kid.

As the crabs are in the pot and one makes a move to escape, the other crabs literally climb up behind the escaping crab and pull it back down to where all the other crabs are.

This really got me thinking.

You see, what goals are you trying to achieve and what keeps pulling you back?

If it’s even just you telling yourself that ‘oh i’ll do it tomorrow ‘ but that’s a day set back from you achieving what you really want.

Any excuses and setbacks you or anyone else makes for you that don’t bring you closer to
achieving your goals, you need to get rid of.

It’s plainly put, but so true.

Compared to people who are going to support you just like in the private coaching area i hold, where you receive guidance and clearly set out workouts.

How to motivate yourself to exercise

So remember ditch the inner crab and the crabs around you that are holding you back, and take
action starting today.

Even if it’s just you writing out your goals for wanting to get in great shape again, losing x amount of pounds by a certain date, the will definitely motivate your to exercise, lose weight and tone up.

You then have something clearly to aim for and stay focused on.

That’s all for today and remember don’t be a crab,

Exercises For Flabby Arms – Motivation Tips

Plan your workout – the first tip is to plan your workout ahead of time.

This way you know exactly what you’re going to do. So many people tend to just shoot in the dark as I call it when you don’t really know what you are 100% doing.

To make life easier just plan out what you are going to do in the workout for the day and the week ahead.

Stick to the plan – the next step is to stick to the plan. And I know this sounds really simple but as simple as it really is so many people drop the ball on this one.

You need to have that tenacious attitude where you actually stick to the plan you have set so you can track your results and find what is working and what isn’t for you.

Never EVER give up – after you plan a workout you’ve stuck to the plan you’ll get a stage where you may feel like giving up because there are lots of distractions in your life or your busy with certain things.

At the end of the day you’re looking after your health and well-being so it is a priority to look after your body.

Whatever you do don’t ever give up on what you really want.

See results and continue – and lastly when you find what works best for you, the next stage is to be encouraged by the results coming your way and continue to enjoy your workouts and encourage others around you just like when you first set off on your workout transformation.

As you can see, once you have all of the pieces of the puzzle it’s just a matter of putting them together to achieve your goals.

You can do it, i believe in you.

Healthy Pizza RecipeEat pizza get lean

healthy pizza recipeCan you really eat pizza and still get lean? Absolutely, and i will share with you a healthy pizza recipe in this post.

If you are anything like me you love and good old pizza. But the only problem is you most pizzas out there on the market are full of complete rubbish that will definitely not help you with your fitness goals.

The good news is i am going to share with you a healthy pizza recipe that i regularly make and it won’t affect your weight loss goals at all.

I really don’t believe in strict calorie diets where you just go into starving mode all the time. So rather than just going hungry all the time which most famous diets in the past have you do, i prefer to just make some more smart food swap options.

So at the end of the day you just need to be smart about food options.

Ingredients For Healthy Pizza Recipe

Here is the tasty recipe for you.

-          1 Whole Wheat Pitta Bread

-          Tomato sauce (organic low sugar sauce) or make your own (tomatoes into a puree)

-          Clove of garlic

-          Basil

-          Chicken

-          Mozzarella cheese

The key with this great pizza is that it literally takes 5 minutes to prepare and its fun to make. You just need to base the pitta with the sauce, and then add the topping and finish with the cheese.

Now you have the recipe, you can always mix things up a little with the toppings. I have literally put the ingredients in order to start making this delicious pizza right away.

Whats The Best Time of Day to Exercise

Does it make a real difference on whats the best to of day to exercise? Well, i’m going to answer that in this post. But first let me tell you about my training.

This mornings workout for me was a sweat dripping muscle toning and most of all fat burning workout.

I get questions all the time on what what type of exercises do i recommend, and whats the best time of day to exercise.

Well if you take for example the great workout i had a this morning, i used Zero equipment.

This may surprise some people but for me this type of bodyweight workout will get you in the best shape of your life.

I’ve proved to you in the past that you don’t need an hour to achieve a great fat burning workout.

The question you are probably thinking to yourself is what type of no equipment exercises should you do?

Well let me give you an example of a typical martial abs workout

Each exercise for 30 seconds with 15 seconds rest in between, repeating the whole workout twice.

Star Jumps
Squat Thrusts
Leg switches
Snap Dragons
Rapid knee strikes
Lunge kicks

As you see there are a mixture of bodyweight exercises that can literally be done any when and anywhere.

Just like the last year when i got stuck in Japan because of the volcano ash cloud over Iceland, i still had my trusty workouts that i could do.

But that’s another story for another day.

What’s the best time of day to exercise

I think really it comes down to what works best for you. Some people i know love to train in the morning and some and night.

Aslong as you get your workout seesion in i don’t think there is a write on wrong answer.

But i will say that once you complete your workout training in the morning it does energise you for the day throughout.

What people love the most about martial abs is the way it helps you combat that stubborn fat in a fun energetic workout.

Plus it only takes half the time of other regular old workouts.

How To Burn Belly Fat For Men and Women

I was speaking to a friend the other day on how to burn belly fat for men and women of all ages.

This is a good question and lots of the time it’s the most troubled area for most people whether it’s men or women struggling to lose that stubborn and annoying belly fat.

So today we are going to look at what you can do right now to make that change and start shrinking your waistline at home starting today.

The key is to not overcomplicate things, because when we do these things become difficult.

Once you understand the right simple methods to do things become a lot easier, and in the end is all about achieving results  for the long-term success, because no one wants to lose the weight and put it all straight back on like most calorie strict diets.

There are two points to look at mostly when wanting to lose belly fat, and they are the right type smart exercises and the right kind of fuel foods for our bodies.

At the end of the day we only have one body so we need to look after it, and my theory is to look after our body for longevity, as in the end we cant just go get another body when our old one gets tired.

How to burn belly fat for men and women – The Exercises

So let’s look at the first step, and this will be to look at what type of exercise we should be doing to lose fat straightaway.

I’m going to keep this nice and easy for you today, so the first will be no more long boring cardio sessions where you work out for hours on and get on bored and not see many results come your way.

The thing is once you see the results come your way, it will give you the encouragement to continue your training.

You need to keep things fresh and exciting so that’s why I’m not about all the long cardio routines, as I really don’t think they are necessary for the average person just wanting to lose weight.

So the first one is 10 to 15 min cardio and conditioning workouts and the second one is targeted abs exercises.

Now when I go and tell people that they only need 10 to 15 min to get an amazing fat burning workout usually they don’t believe me always.

Well to be fair they usually say this before but workout, but once I’ve put them through the short timed workout they soon can understand the benefits and theories behind this.

It is what you do with your time that counts.

If you’re in a workout for one hour and not push yourself at all, I say that’s fine, but good luck with seeing any amazing results come your way.

But if you would rather workout for just 10 minutes and give 4x more effort, you will reap the rewards after the workout.

So the word we are really looking for is intensity, and the more upbeat and complete reps you can do the more you will push yourself into a metabolic fat burning mode as I call it and start melting the belly fat right away and throughout the day.

How to burn belly fat for men and women – Fat Burning Foods

Okay so now a little bit on what type foods we should be taking into our bodies to shrink down that waist line.

Again don’t make this too complicated. Counting calories is not the way to go if you ask me it’s too confusing and your body doesn’t like it for long-term results.

The key is to have a good intake of natural foods that have not been processed or tampered with.

Using my one ingredient role is a definite way to go. Put it this way, how many ingredients goes into an egg? Exactly you got it, just one.

But then if I asked you how many ingredients went into a ready-made package meal? This would be alot higher number, where you can even understand half of the ingredients what goes into the food.

This is definitely you don’t need to put in your body, if you want to lose belly fat.

So just remember use the one ingredient role right now and start writing down a list of foods that has the one ingredient in it.

The Best Time to Start is Now!

The key is to get motivated today because I can tell you all the ways to get in shape and start losing and burning that belly fat, but in the end if you don’t take action and motivate yourself and listen to my training talks you will struggle to get on the right track.

The best offer I can advise you is to start today. When you take action today the momentum will follow you, and you will put out to the universe what you are setting out to achieve.

Make sure you write down specific goals you want to achieve, and if you look back at my older articles on this blog you will find lots of good posts on how to set goals and how to keep motivated through your transformation journey.

The great thing is you will not only change the way your body looks but change the way you look at things in life as well.

That’s why I think the mind training is so important to help grow and improve to get the best results in life.

So I hope you benefited from this post on how to burn belly fat for men and women of all ages.

All the best,

Richard Huntley
