The Top 4 Training Tips of All-Time To Look Sexy

When you train smart and train hard, you'll eventually reach your goals...whether that be in business, life, or fitness.

I was talking to a client one day about packages and training and nutrition and a ton of other things. She didn't seem to get it. But she said to me, "Kri, have you heard of the K.I.S.S. principle?"

I said "Yeah. You're right."

So what is the K.I.S.S. principle?

Definition: K.I.S.S. principle - Keep It Simple Stupid

So, I want to share some tips with you today that pretty much sums up what all of us need to do to get lean and stay lean for life.

It doesn't get any simpler than this… but simple works!

TOP 2 EXERCISE TIPS

* Total Body Workouts Are The Best: This means doing a five-exercise circuit (designed to work your upper body, lower body, and core) at least three times per week with a day of rest between workouts. Alternate between 50 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for each a double-leg (e.g. squat), push (e.g. push-up), single-leg (e.g. lunge), pull (e.g. row), and core (e.g. plank) exercise. Perform up to 4 rounds without rest for a killer 20-minute total body workout.

* The Power of High Intensity Interval Training: Interval training is scientifically proven to burn nine times more body fat than ordinary exercise and elevates metabolism for up to 48 hours following your workout. Perform cardio intervals on non-strength training days three times per week. Selecting your cardio exercise of choice, alternate between 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest and repeat this 30 second interval eight times for four total minutes followed by a one-minute rest. Repeat for up to 20 total minutes. This routine works best on a stair machine (eg. Stairmaster) or for body weight cardio exercise that you can do at home like running in place or jumping jacks.

Top 2 Diet Tips

* Eat Early and Often: Eat immediately upon waking and then every two to four hours to starve fat and feed muscle. By continuously fueling your fat burning furnace, and eating some animal protein (meat, eggs, cheese, etc.) at every feeding, you'll also keep your metabolism revved up throughout the day and prevent overeating.

* Think Fiber First When Consuming Carbs: Eat an unlimited amount of fibrous, green veggies to fill your belly both during and between meals. For optimal fat-burning, try to limit fruit and other carbohydrate consumption to within 1-2 hours post-workout when your body best tolerates starches and sugars.

Live by these 2 training and nutrition rules and you will have a body to be proud of... I guarantee it.

I really try to eat well and I do pretty good throughout the day and I eat every two hours small meals like 2oz of chicken and green beans, or salad or something, but then at night around 8 I start really craving protein. Protein and pasta! I find it very difficult to think about anything else and hard to fall asleep at night.
