The important thing about losing flab is to get into the proper movement range that has your body burning the most fat. It’s always simpler to talk of effortless weight loss, than to actually do it. Most folks agree on that. On the other hand, maybe it can be easier than you think because you’re not approaching the goal with the proper tools. Let me tell you some of the fundamental techniques that you need to incorporate into your life in order to get the most fat reduction.

The first tool is to declare a Fitness Holiday where you actually calculate the things that you’ve been eating and the calories involved. Get specific. Use a scale. Write down everything. You can’t just guess at your portions: you need to know exactly what’s going into your stomach.

Here’s a hint: most people are staying fat or getting fatter because they are eating too much. You also need to pay attention to the content of the food you eat: are you eating organically raised, naturally produced food or are you eating transfats and high fructose corn syrup?

You’ll be surprised at how many calories you take in from what seem to be innocent little nibbles and snacks.

So once you’ve taken a day to evaluate your eating pattern, you need to adjust it so you aren’t fighting against it so much. The next tip is to utilize the correct speed for your resting paces as you do intervals. You will have to examine and evaluate.

Your slower rate has to be significant in order for the intervals to work.

People often make the error of doing a resting phase of the interval too hard and fast. It’s a cardio mentality that keeps you moving at a consistent pace.

When you’re in the burst period, you need to be hard and fast: the recovery period needs to be nice and slow.
