Building Muscle Tips - How To Strip That Fat

By Dave Vower


What good is a muscular body if you can't see it under layers of fat?

Next time you go to the mall or shopping, take a look at the people around you. Look at their physiques, the people at your work, the people next to you on the bus/train, the people at the drug store and the local fast food joint. What is the average body type these days? Do people look like Rambo? or do they look like the fatties on Wall-E? Well, unless you train hard like Rambo, or physical exercise is part of your communities lifestyle, the standard then you'll see is to be overweight.

So what do we do it? Are you one of them? I was, but I found out one of the biggest secrets of the bodybuilding community. How to strip the fat quickly and easily, with no hour long cardio sessions!

Building Muscle Tips - You'll Learn How To Strip The Fat Like The Professionals

Here's the trick:

Step 1. You need to be following some kind of weight training program. Don't worry, you're not going to become the next Arnold Schwarzenegger by lifting weights. But muscles do consume twice as much energy as fat so they're an advantage. Get started lifting weights 2-3 times a week and you'll start noticing that you're not only getting stronger, but your metabolism is speeding up too. You'll start to get hungry. This is good, because you need to feed your muscles so they become fat burning assets.

Strip That Fat Step 2. Aerobic exercise is a waste of time. Yep, you heard me if you want to burn fat fast, DON'T do it. You've got to be crazy right? Everyone says it's the best way so it must be true. Nope. Well, it does work, but it's not the best way. And it's hard work! If there's an easier way, wouldn't that be best? (haha, I'm such a lazy coach!)

So How Do We Train? What we've got to do is speed up the body's metabolism so it burns more fat, and faster, like stoking a furnace! We can do this by doing short (15 minute) but intense workouts. It's just like going for a long jog, but it takes less time. That's convenient isn't it!

Here's how it works:

High Intensity Interval Training, or Fartlek, is a training session divided into 2 parts. One intense, and the other less intense.

Here's an example of an interval training session:

# Stretch

# 5 min warmup

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 1 min walk/jog

# 20 second sprint

# 5 min cooldown

# Stretches

The beautiful thing about this kind of training is that you'll speed up your metabolism so much that you'll be burning calories for days! And it only takes 15 minutes! It's seriously the BEST way to strip that fat from your body with the least amount of work.

If you're already working out 3 days a week, do this interval training only on your OFF days so you don't over train. This is because your body just does not know how to burn fat and build muscle all at once. Swap between the weight training and interval training so you can get the best of both worlds. And make sure you take a day off too. We don't want you to burn out!

Anything else? Yep... one last thing:

Building Muscle Tips - Step 3. Eat Fresh Food With High Water Content.

You know you won't get a great body eating KFC so don't kid yourself. Take that thought in your mind now, and throw it away. The best food source for making your body run smoothly is fresh fruits and vegetables. Preferably raw!

Yeah, I know, your mother was right. You've been hearing it since you were a child. "Eat Your Vegetables or there's no desert!" Turns out they were right eh. Don't worry, I won't tell!

Honestly though, eat your vegies, and eat them raw if you can. Keep your protein intake high so your body can repair itself. Snack on RAW nuts (not the salty ones!) and protein snacks / shakes. And get your energy mostly from fruits and vegetables. You'll find that you need to work a little harder to eat them but stick with it, the results will be worth it.

As you start to see results you'll become more motivated to change your diet. But trust me, if you

1. Do a weights workout

2. Do Interval Training

3. Replace Junk Food With Fruit and Vegetables

You'll be leaner in no time.
