Exercise Prescription for Success

Here is a quick exercise prescription for fat loss and fitness success:

  • 180-240 minutes/week of strength and metabolic resistance training
  • 60 minutes/week of high intensity interval training
  • 60-90 minutes/week of lighter cardiovascular activity

This is roughly 400 minutes per week (less than an hour per day on average). You need to devote this amount of time towards your training regimen if you are serious about fat loss. Now, you can get terriffic metabolic and health benefits from far less training each week, but, in my opinion anyway, the road to significant fat loss will be much slower.

Combined with a proper fat loss MEAL PLANNING, you'll be on your way to turning yourself into a human inferno! There are no short cuts. Stay tuned for specific training regimens which will hep you meet the requirements listed above...it's not as hard as you think, and you don't even need to train everyday.
