It stands for High Intensity Interval Training and from what I have read it’s the best type of workout to burn the most fat. Sweet, count me in!

I have made up my own fast workout before and it was a good workout but I like to have a plan to follow so I’m excited to be able to share with you some various HIIT workouts today.
Mike is back with a great chair workout video. This would definitely make a great office workout when you are short on time. The moves are not easy but it looks like a nice quick workout.
What did you think of that workout! Crazy good…
A lot of my work at home friends have an exercise ball as their chair so it would work just as well, I think.
Thanks Mike!
Make it a great day,
Here is another guest article from Mike D with five exercises, using virtually no equipment, to help get you an apple bottom. To be honest, I had to look up the term apple bottom. I had heard the term in a song before but never really knew what it was.
So in case you are wondering the same thing, wikipedia says, “The term “Apple Bottom Jeans” refers to a woman whose curvaceous figure is elegantly revealed by her tight-fitting jeans, resembling the shape of an apple”. So there you have it…now it’s time to go workout!
Enjoy!
Here is a guest post that comes at the perfect time as I get ready to fly a few times over the next month. We’ll see if I am brave enough to try any of these airplane exercises.
Please help me welcome Mike to the blog. I reviewed his Extreme Burn workout (linked below) and it was awesome. Happy to have him contribute some easy steps to help us stay active.
This is Part 2 in the lesson on Resistance Training for Women written by guest blogger, Claire.
If you want to turn yourself into a lean, mean, fat melting machine, then you need to start by doing 3 sessions of strength training each week. To burn the most fat you need to do a total body workout which targets all of your major muscle groups, e.g. your arms, legs, abs and back. Do this by choosing exercises which work several muscle groups, e.g. squats are great as they target the front and back of the legs compared to leg extension which just work the front of the thigh.
You should also try to do 3 sets of 10-12 reps of each exercise and if using free weights or machines, select a weight which is heavy enough so it feels hard to complete your last rep. If you can do 10-12 reps with ease than the weight is too light or if you are unable to complete the set number of reps then the weight is too heavy.
To get you started, here are some resistance training exercises. I have divided them into two categories depending on whether you are working out at home without equipment or in the gym.
Please help me welcome Claire, one of our guest bloggers this week. She is going to spend two days teaching us about resistance training.
Okay girls we all know that exercise is good for us! But most of us have very busy lives so we have to find really clever ways to fit physical exercise into our daily routine to lose weight fast and easy.
Most of you have probably been told that cardio workouts are the way forward to help you lose weight and although this is true you have to balance it with a good amount of strength training as well. Now, I know some of you might be reading this thinking, “Do you mean lifting weights? Surely that is what guys do!”
