Fat Loss System – Burn Fat, Lift Heavy (part 1)
How does a pill that burns fat faster than any supplement out there sound?
How about that very same pill increasing muscle tone and density?
You’ve gotta admit, it sounds pretty exciting doesn’t it
Now, what if I said…’IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!’
Unless…wait for it!
You begin to lift heavy weights in the gym and avoid your favourite step and fit ball class. Then and only then are you on your way to that dream physique
Now from that last statement I’ve probably already lost half the female audience, no matter… it’s just makes the rest of you look even better.
This is unfortunately, a very common mistake that women far too often mistake as being a way to become a muscular bound female bodybuilder.
NOT TRUE!
In fact, if you’re looking to get the kind of body like your favourite superstar, then I suggest you continue to read on.
For what you are about to receive… The following article is split into 4 parts. Part 1 will explain why we should be avoiding long durations on cardio machines known as ‘long slow distance’ (LSD). Part 2 will look at the reasons why lifting weights works better than LSD training and finally part 3 will explain why we should be lifting heavier with those weights. Part 4 will put it all together in a evenly balance program for you to follow.
The reason for doing it this way is there’s a lot of new understanding to take on board. Some of this is going to go completely against your usual way of thinking, meaning you may or may wish to read any further parts.
All I can say is from the experience of coaching many clients in my time, this works better than anything and the results WILL amaze you!
So why should we avoid lengthy sessions on the cardio machines?
There are a number of reasons why we should avoid long cardio sessions, the first is simple.
Our body was designed to survive from the days when we were hunter/gatherers and our vocabulary consisted of um, ugg and errr. Kind of like a teenager…
When we ran (chasing food or being chased as food) our body would produce the hormone Cortisol (a stress hormone) as chasing food or becoming food can become a pretty stressful thing for us.
When Cortisol is produced, the body begins to store body fat by slowing down its natural metabolism. The reason being, if you are chasing something and don’t catch it, you have no idea when you are going to be eating next. Your body knows that it will have to survive on its own stored fats.
Although our bodies have indeed evolved over the many years there are lots of things about the human body that remain the same. The stress hormone cortisol being released through LSD (long slow distance) being one.
Don’t be fooled that it won’t happen to you just because you go on the cross trainer, stepper, rower or any other form of equipment. It will, the body can’t identify what exercise it is doing or whether you’re looking to burn fat or being chased.
If its LSD training you’re doing and you’re looking to tone and lose fat, you will soon find yourself at a sticking point very soon as your Cortisol levels begin to rise.
The Zone
Let’s take another look at those long cardio sessions that “help burn fat”.
The fat burning zone draws fat from the fat stores to be used as energy instead od using carbohydrates; this is known as ‘SUB RQ1′ where the body doesn’t have to use carbohydrates for energy. Now although this is true, if it was so effective, we would be losing pounds as we watch TV or read a book, but as we all know by now, that’s just not the case!
Yes, you will burn more calories when exercising at the gym or walking round the park but to get in the true fat burning zone or ‘optimal zone’ you’ll have to exercise for 90minutes (non stop) at least…
After about 90 minutes the body becomes extremely efficient at burning bodyfat!
This true, but come on….90 minutes!
England could have been defeated by Luxembourg B team by then. (I’m referring to soccer of course)
So if the body is burning pure bodyfat after 90 minutes, what’s being burnt as energy before then?
MUSCLE!
Remember, at this steady lower state of intensity carbohydrates have no need to work meanining something has to help with the energy coming from fats. Unfortunately, we use muscle slowing down our metabolism in the process.
Solution
Now I know that the cardio, fat burning, step obsessed, ‘the longer the better’ exercise junkies out there aren’t going to suddenly hang up their lycra shorts and ankle weights only to share the weights room with the usual vest wearing grunters.
As a result what you should do is something we call Tabata.
Pick your favourite piece of cardio equipment
Warm up for 2 minutes
Go as fat as you can for 30 seconds
Take it easy for just 10 seconds
Repeat 8 times
It’s as simple as that and believe me you will really feel like you’ve had a very intense yet very short workout!

Flashing Question Mark And Data Loss In Mac
Operating system (also known as system software) is the most important component of a computer system, which is responsible for coordination and management of activities and sharing of computer resources. It works as an interface between software and hardware.
But sometimes when you start your Mac OS X computer, you might see a flashing question mark. It prevents you to start your system and makes all of your valuable data inaccessible. This behavior of Mac OS X results into critical data loss situations and require Mac Data Recovery to be sorted out.
This behavior generally occurs when your system can not file and system software, which is required to start up. In case of flashing question mark, one of the below things may occur:
System starts up after a brief delay
System does not start up
Resolution
If your system starts up properly, you just need to select the start up disk again in the Startup Disk preferences. This is usual to see flashing question mark when the startup disk hasn’t been selected.
If you re using MacBook Air, you have two options to start your system with the software installation DVD:
Connect MacBook Air SuperDrive with MacBook Air using USB port and then restart the system, holding the C key during startup.
Go for Remote Install Mac OS X to start it from system software DVD, which is located on partner computer.
If your system does not boot up from the system software DVD and hard drive is not mounted or available, then reset the PRAM (Parameter Read Only Memory) and try again.
When all of the above methods can not perform Mac File Recovery, then you need to carry out Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X. It is helpful in resolving most of the operating system related issues, but it also has a downside. It deletes all of the data from your hard drive and cause complete data loss.
In such situations, you need to perform Mac Recovery using third party applications. These software thoroughly scan the whole hard drive and extract all of the lost data from it. With self-descriptive and interactive user interface, these software allow you to have quick and easy File Recovery Mac.
Stellar Phoenix Mac Recovery is the best ever made and the mo
1000
st powerful tool to recover lost data from HFS, HFS+, HFSX, HFS Wrapper and FAT file system. This software is designed for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.4 Tiger and 10.3.9 Panther.
