If you are starting off with ZERO times per week, some say to start with ONE time per week, which is great. However, if you decide to only resistance train ONCE and you go ALL OUT, then you are probably going to be sore for 5 days.My suggestion is you lift 4 days a week, even starting out, BUT only do a few minutes. Do 4, 10-minute metabolic resistance workouts, like THESE for the first couple of weeks, THEN increase your weight and workout time.Click HERE to receive one FREE metabolic resistance training workout video every week.2.)    Circuit and Interval Programs for EfficiencyI don’t know about you, but I value my time dearly. I don’t like to waste my precious time doing tasks that don’t provide much value to my life, especially if it’s working out.

After 6 weeks of training, the subjects doing the intervals had lost more fat. READ: 4-6 30-second sprints burns more fat than 60 minutes of incline treadmill walking. (University of Western Ontario)Additionally, there are a handful of reliable studies (by Laval University, East Tennessee State University, Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of New South Wales) that also prove that shorter, high-intensity cardio sessions result in greater fat loss over time than longer, low-intensity sessions.Woo-hoo!

 On most days you head to the gym and ‘do the right thing’. You take out your training log, follow the reps and sets, add a little more weight than last week and walk out the door feeling pretty darn good about yourself. Other days, you’re not quite ‘feeling it’ and you spend less time squatting and more time chatting up the hot girl in the squat rack. Then there are some days you just walk into the gym feeling extra pumped and super focused.
