Burn Off The Weight

Here's what you need to understand about exercising aerobically. For the first 20 minutes you are exercising in your aerobic zone, you are burning about 80% carbohydrates and 20% fat.

For the next 20 minutes, you are burning about 50% carbs and 50% fat. You're getting better. Now you're gonna start to lose some of that weight as the fat is being burned!

So what happens if you start getting into the above 40 minute range?

A reversal. You are now burning about 20% carbs and about 80% fat

In other words, when you work your way up to 45 - 60 minutes of aerobic exercise, you're been doing some serious fat burnin'

Golf for Exercise

OK. Now that spring has sprung, many of you will be hitting the golf course.

If you can forget about the golf carts, golf is really a good exercise. It's not a great aerobic exercise as you walk and stop, but it's a decent aerobic exercise and a good overall exercise for your legs and upper body.

I have a new site just started called Golf Impact Training that will be dedicated to helping you lower your gold score so you can have some fun while you get in your exercise. Check it out.

And remember - leave the golf cart at the clubhouse.

Abdominal Training Tip

BREATHE FOR ABS

Exhaling while contracting is one of the
most important, but most overlooked steps
in effective ab training. Power Breathing is
an excellent way for anyone to maximize their
contractions during any type of abdominal
exercise.

Blow out all the air while you are at
the fully contracted position and hold for a beat,
return and repeat. Try it the next time you
do an ab routine and your efforts will be maximized and
people will look at you like you are crazy!
