7-Day Fat Loss Guide for Busy People

Key point to remember for December...the 10% rule...

Eat healthy 90% of the time, and allow yourself some room to relax on the other 10%.

BUT...

Don't set yourself back an entire week by eating 2000 calorie meals around the egg nog bowl and chocolates. Stay consistent and you'll stay lean during the toughest part of the year.

Here's this week's 7-day guide to improving your body...

Monday
Let's try a new total body workout to start the week. Warm-up with three bodyweight exercises:

Reverse Lunge (12 per side)
Close-grip Pushup (10)
Stick-up (10)

Follow that up with these two strength supersets...

1A) Squat (3x8) 2-0-1 *any squat will do!
1B) Row (3x8) 2-0-1 *Dumbbell, barbell, bodyweight, or cable row

2A) RDL (3x8) 3-0-1 *single-leg bodyweight, dumbbell, or barbell
2B) Chest Press (3x8) 2-0-1 **Dumbbell, barbell, or pushup

Then one ab superset...

3A) Mountain Climber (3x20 per side) 1-0-1
3B) Back Extension on Ball (3x15) 2-0-1

And then finish with interval training.

45 minutes maximum for this workout.

Tuesday
30 minutes (at least) of enjoyable recreational activity. Or do power shopping. Contact power shopping, if the mall is busy.

Wednesday
TT workout. You can stick with Monday's pattern (using different exercises of course) or you can switch to an Upper body, Lower body split for the rest of the week. Do upper body exercises today, and lower body on Friday.
Mmmmmm, upper body.

Thursday
After your 30 minutes of activity, review your sugar intake. If you want to lose fat, there should be NO added sugar in your diet. Nothing from foods, snacks, or drinks. Stick to whole, natural foods. Be sugar free! Tough at this time of year, but you know what, retrain your taste buds to enjoy the shrimp ring and fresh vegetables on the platter. And if you avoid the sugar, you can treat yourself to a bit of cheese...

Friday
A TT workout. Add a little bodyweight to your interval section. You might use burpees, or jumping jacks, or lunges instead of the bike, treadmill, or stairmaster. For all the bodyweight, dumbbell, and home workouts you can use this year, pick up the TT Membership.

See below for more details.

Saturday
This should be your favorite workout of the week...30 minutes (at least) of recreational activity with your social support group. Then more power shopping or other holiday fun with the family. Go cut down a tree - make it a family thing.

Sunday
Plan, shop, and prepare.

Your grocery cart should look like a garden, with some nuts, protein, eggs, and dairy products mixed in. Keep it simple!

Keep track of what works for you,

P.S. The new Member's site isn't ready yet...But...
I'm working everyday on adding content to the new membership area, which will also include a forum for TT users.

"The TT Membership is a freakin' steal. Craig charges virtually nothing and you get access to dozens of workouts, articles, and information, including different ones for different goals (athletes, pre-season, fat-loss, muscle gains). Plus (and this is a BIG plus), the dude is extremely prompt about answering e-mails. Not to mention very much no-BS and to the point."
