5 Things I've Learnt So Far

1. Raise that metabolism 

Whether you like it or not the best way to raise your metabolism is by doing big movements and keeping your workouts intense... by intense i mean shorter rests and more effort from you! The best way i've found to raise your metabolism is by doing circuit of big movements called a 'complex'. You can incorporate bodyweight exercises alone (burpees/ squats are great) or add in things like deadlifts for bigger results, a short rest.. then go again! When your metabolism has been raised form a workout you will continue to burn calories for hours after you have finished. Sounds good doesn't it?

2. Exercise first thing in the morning 

The best time to work out is the morning. Studies have shown that working out in the morning can burn 3x more fat, heres why..

During the day your body is using carbohydrates from your meals as energy. As you sleep at night your body uses up all these carbohydrates for various bodily functions. As you wake up in the morning your body has little (if any) carbohydrates to use as energy, so it will use fat as energy.

3. Eat breakfast

Just do it...

4. You can't out-train a bad diet


5-6 small meals are day is key. Start with a good breakfast to keep you on track, and not snacking on junk all day. Eat the right foods in the right quantities and you will be surprised with your results...


5. Add 'finishers' to your workout 


The use of a 'finisher' like this 2 or 3 times a week can really accelerate results. Grab a skipping rope... 50 revolutions - 2 burpees
50 revolutions - 4 burpees
50 revolutions - 6 burpees
50 revolutions - 8 burpees 
50 revolutions - 10 bupees
Work down if you can but start at that and see how you go.
