And now, for the main feature:

To reduce excess fat, the following 5 approaches are the true and righteous keys! We cover some of the recent news that changes emphasis on some of the methods so tune in to find out what is the LATEST and what subtle details have just come out.

1) Work in  Interval Training
Be aware of the FIT principle when increasing your workouts
F = Frequency
I = Intensity
T= TimeThen choose I, I, I = Intensity over F or T.

2) Go for it with High Intensity Training, whether in short bursts of very high intensity–up to 2 minutes -or via medium high intensity for up to 30 minutes of “whew, pretty intense effort” vs 60 minutes of “feeling casual and comfy.”
HIT = High Intensity Training; HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training

3) Incorporate Strength Training
We make up the SIT principle (gotta listen to find out) to help you remember to increase your metabolic rate.
Fat cells are designed to store;
Muscle cells are ready to move.

4) Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels
Minimize intake of low complexity carbos (sugars)

5) Get to Caloric Deficit
Need to put out 3500 kcals fewer than you take in to lose 1 lb of fat.
