Natural HGH Boosting: Burn More Fat, Build More Muscle
1. Exercise on an empty stomach -- Research has shown that working out on an empty stomach (in a "fasting" state) provides many fitness, muscle building, and fat loss benefits. It forces the body to tap into fat stores for energy while also causing hormonal steroid-like changes (allowing for simultaneous fat burning and muscle preservation/increase).
2. Do high-intensity, low-volume exercise often -- High-intensity cardio exercise and weight training causes the body to pump out extra growth hormone. HIIT-style strength training, where you do only a few "heavy" sets of compound exercises (e.g. squats, rows, deadlifts, presses, etc.), is especially effective at boosting HGH production, even in older people.
3. Drink whey-protein shakes every day -- Scientific research has proven that consuming whey protein can have a very beneficial effect on human hormone levels. A recent study showed that people who do and hour and a half of cardio exercise, then drank a whey protein shake afterwards, then did a session of high-intensity exercise, experienced a huge increase in human growth hormone production
4. Try intermittent fasting -- Eat only during a 6 hour window every day. Once every 7-10 days go for 36-48 hours without eating anything. Occasional fasting can significantly improve overall hormone production, especially when combined with frequent intense exercise. When you do eat, focus on a following a low-carb, high-protein diet that also includes lots of healthy fats/oils. Eat little or no sugar and very little grains/starches.

7 Rules to Burn Fat & Get Fit FAST (and Stay Fit for Life!)
Here are 7 proven "rules" for losing body fat quickly, getting into great shape, and staying that way for as long as you want...
7 Rules for Fast Fat Burning:
1. Get enough sleep: 7 to 8 hours per day. Your body repairs/builds muscle tissue and creates many of the powerful fat-burning hormones needed for rapid weight loss while it's asleep!2. Eat a clean diet based around lean proteins, vegetables, fresh fruits, and healthy fats. Throw in some "good" carbs once in awhile (beans, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, etc.) for energy and you'll give your body the nutrition and macronutrients it's designed to thrive on.
3. Drink LOTS of water. Drinking large volumes of water is a proven natural appetite suppressant and energy booster!
4. Avoid sugars and simple/low-quality carbohydrates... as well as "junk" calories from beer, liquor, junk foods, etc. as much as possible. These are huge road blocks for weight loss because of the effect they have on blood sugar and hormone levels.
5. Make daily workouts a priority. Doing just 15 to 30 minutes of real, effective exercise per day is a must for boosting the metabolism, burning excess calories, building lean muscle, and losing pounds fast.
6. Take proven supplements. The fastest fat loss results come with the help of proven and relatively low-cost diet supplements. They help you recover faster from intense workouts, give you more energy, and can naturally increase your body's metabolic (fat burning) processes. The best supplements are whey protein powder, omega 3 fatty acids (e.g. fish oil and krill oil), and a high-quality multivitamin formula.
7. Enjoy the process. Getting into the "fitness habit" is actually pretty easy to do once you get going. After the initial pain/discomfort of breaking out of your comfort zone, regular exercise and healthy eating are usually extremely enjoyable!
That's it!
Tackle weight problems and overall fitness with an all-around plan based on the 7 fundamentals listed above. You'll begin losing weight immediately and should be able to make very significant visible improvements to your body within just a few weeks. As your energy levels go up you'll start to feel great and may even get "addicted" to regular workouts and healthy meals.
That's when the really BIG changes will start to happen. The fat will begin melting off and you'll soon have the lean, fit, sexy body we all want. More importantly, you'll have the healthy habits necessary for long-term weight loss maintenance and fitness success!

The New WalkTC TreadClimbers: Comments or Reviews?
I've been using TreadClimber since around 2005 and I find them to be among the most unique treadmill-style machines currently on the market. I can get my heart rate up very quickly because of the incline/climbing motion, which allows for a quick entry into the optimal "fat burning" zone.
We would love for someone to share there own reviews and opinions of the new WalkTC machines. They seem very cool but they definitely aren't cheap (although there is apparently a new under-$1000 TreadClimber model)... so obviously we'd like some feedback before deciding to invest.

"No Equipment, No Excuses" Bodyweight Workout Video
Think you need a bunch of fancy exercise equipment or an expensive gym membership to burn fat, build muscle, get into fantastic shape, and build the body of your dreams? Well think again! Bodyweight-only, no-equipment workouts can be just as effective as workouts based around free weights, machines, and fitness gadgets... and in some cases even more effective.
And they definitely don't need to be boring. Push-ups, dips, pull-ups, and free squats are great but they aren't the only options when it comes to a gym-free workout. Here's a great video from fitness expert Scott Herman showing an extremely effective bodyweight workout based around things like "dragon skulls" and "bersekers." Enjoy...

Lose 10 Pounds in 30 Days: A REALLY Easy Method
An analysis of our blog traffic stats shows us that an amazing number of people just want to lose 10 pounds in a short amount of time. We get thousands of hits a month related to “10 lb” search phrases. Many people want to lose the weight in a week. Others simply want to do it as fast as possible.
To be honest, trying to lose that much weight really quickly -- let’s say 10 days or less -- isn’t always a good idea. It’s likely to leave you feeling tired, drained, and run down. If you don’t do it properly (and most people don’t) you could damage/slow down your metabolism or even get injured trying to exercise like a maniac to burn fat ASAP.
Even if you do it right -- with a strict low-calorie diet, effective workouts, and the right supplements -- you're likely to not feel real great afterward. Ask any boxer, wrestler, or MMA/UFC fighter how it feels losing 10 - 20 pounds in just a couple of days -- something they often do to “make weight” before a fight. In most cases it leaves them feeling like total crap and sometimes seriously affects their performance in the ring.
And these are highly-conditioned athletes we’re talking about -- men and women who are experts at burning body fat and shedding pounds in a matter of hours! "Normal" people usually experience even more negative side effects from such rapid weight loss.
A better alternative to extremely fast weight loss is plain old semi-fast weight loss. Losing 10, 15, or even 20 pounds in a month is a much easier and healthier proposition in the vast majority of cases. But ten-plus pounds in a month is still pretty quick and it's a great way to jump-start any long-term fitness/weight loss program.
Losing a significant amount of weight -- and feeling good while you're doing it -- is a fantastic motivation booster. It gives you the kind of quick results that lead to long-term weight loss success. It also helps you start developing the lifestyle habits that can lead to really big weight loss (50 pounds or more) if that's your goal.
You can easily lose 10 - 20 pounds in the next month by following these ultra-simple steps:
1. Eat only natural, unprocessed foods -- lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, unrefined oils, etc.
2. Avoid all refined/concentrated sugars, junk foods, and highly-processed foods.
3. Drink LOTS of water.
4. Do a bit of heart-pumping, sweat-inducing exercise most days of the week.
5. Get enough sleep and limit your alcohol intake.
That’s it! Simple but extremely effective for fast, healthy weight loss. It works because basically you’re getting out of your own way and allowing your body to shed extra, unneeded weight -- much of it ugly body fat!
Many people can lose 10 lbs by doing nothing other than cutting sugars and refined “white” flour out of their diets! When you stop putting nutritionally-empty, high-GI, insulin-spiking, fat-creating calories into your body and replace them with natural, healthy, nutrient-dense calories you allow it to function the way it wants to. Your metabolism revs up and your hormone balance optimizes itself... and that leads to easy, healthy, rapid weight loss.
Give the plan above a try and you could easily lose 10 pounds in the next 30 days. You might even “mess up” and lose a lot more weight without even trying! :)
