Stop making lame excuses about your weight & start eating less, fatty.
Stop obsessing about over training, trust me your not!
Lose the ego and do more unilateral training. Cut out all that bench press and curling crap.
That's just some of the advice you didn't want to hear from Part I. Now, even more fitness guidelines you probably don't want to hear. Sorry it's tough love.
1)Weight training is not a fitness program. It's part of a program.
2) We spend hours inactive, with slouched posture and shortened muscles. We need to fix that, and just adding weight and loading the structure isn't the key. We need a complete program.
3)Core Stability: Despite what some personal trainers are saying, the evidence is clear: You need to train the core for stability, and direct training activates the core more than indirect work. Spend a couple of minutes per workout on core stability.
4)Power: Every AbFitt reader should be power training. It's the quality we lose the fastest as we age, yet it's easy to keep. Make sure you have some explosive movements in your program — not necessarily with bars and dumbbells — maybe just some body weight stuff.
5)Energy System Development: Do your cardio, but remember to mix it up. Cardio doesn't mean "aerobics on the treadmill." Use kettle bells, sprints, boxing and complexes as well as longer-duration cardio. Remember it's just part of a complete program.
6)"Saturated fat is evil!" As a result, we're now in the middle of an obesity epidemic. Just look around the next time your in an airport.
7)Get serious about your upper back. You'll be amazed at the full body results.
8)The biggest problem with most people who train is that they know exactly what their biggest problem is! However they are not willing to make the changes needed to correct those very problems.
9)It never comes as a shock when I tell an overweight man or woman the results of his/her full physical assessment: "You are too fat."
Don't laugh. You probably have some glaring issues too... and you know it!
