HIIT Your Target with a Tabata Workout

I love nothing more than just pushing past what I think I can do with one of my TurboFire HIIT workouts, but HIIT or tabata is nothing new. TurboFire® is the intense 90-day cardio conditioning program that will help you get leaner with exercises that burn up to 9x more fat and calories than regular cardio and it comes with four different amazing HIIT workout:

• Low HIIT 20 Class - Unlock the Turbo in you with this low-impact workout filled with 6 drills, which are sure to become your favorites.
• Low HIIT 25 Class - Low-impact doesn't mean low intensity! With this intense workout packed with 7 drills, you won't need to jump to scorch calories.
• HIIT 15 Class - Don't be fooled by this shorter workout; you'll be sure to break a sweat with 9 killer drills.
• HIIT 20 Class - Scorch fat with 7 sizzling Fire Drills in 20 minutes.

Tabata was a Japanese exercise physiologist that researched

Olympic speed skating workouts to determine the optimal interval protocol for increasing both aerobic and anaerobic capacities in the most time-efficient man

Experts say Tabata should be used as part of a well-rounded regimen that includes cardiovascular, strength and flexibility workouts. A basic Tabata is 20 seconds as fast and intense as you can go, then 10 seconds of rest. Repeat eight times. I love using the FocusEnergy and it's push for the green coffee bean to bust the fat even more, and with a short workout you have to bust out everything you have to get the results you want. A few tips I've learned over the years:

• A Tabata interval can be performed with many exercises, including cycling, running, jumping rope and treadmill work. - Start with one that is most comfortable for you.
• Allow time for a warm-up and cool-down. Never start by immediately putting the pedal to the metal.
•  Don't count the seconds in your head; rely on a good timer. This will allow you to put your full focus on the exercise. Tabata apps are available for smartphones like my Nexus S.
• Track your progress. The ultimate goal is to be as fast in Set 8 as Set 1. If you experience soreness for more than a day or so, stop and consult a physician.

The following instructions show how to promote your website using SMO to grab reader’s attention.

• Step2: Understand which social media platform is best suited for your business. Some businesses that are related to entertainment category can easily get benefited from Facebook while business related to technology can receive huge website traffic through Twitter and other social networking channels. 
• Step3: So, before you begin working with the particular social media channel, determine how you can get benefited from it. At the time of joining an online community especially for business, identify your target customers and start your plan.

Six Supplements

My favorite Superfood... the berries! 

As people become more and more conscious of healthy eating, berries are making a splash in recent studies. Results have suggested that these tiny, colorful fruits are power-packed with ingredients that are good for our bodies.The vitamins in Goji berries play a big part in their ability to strengthen your muscles and bones. It is becoming increasingly evident that the B Vitamins play a vital role in bone health. People who eat Goji berries are taken care of in this regard because these berries contain large amounts of at least 3 of the B Vitamins. In China Goji berries are often used in soup in small quantities, and occasionally as a tea with chrysanthemum. But what you as a paleo athlete want to remember is that the amazing polysaccharides this berry contains help support healthy immune systems and have been found to stimulate the secretion of the HGH (human growth hormone) in our bodies. That is why it is so commonly used as an anti-aging supplement.

MMA to make you faster, stronger, and Combat is fun

Les Mills Combat is on it's way. Now keep in mind that Crossfit and MMA training both incorporate Olympic lifting, functional training, and Plyometric training…but they will do it in very different ways. A good MMA workout, just like the Les Mills Combat is divided into phases. In MMA those phases are called macro cycles. As part of the worldwide Les Mills group fitness brand, “Body Combat” is one of their more popular group fitness classes– one you may have seen rocking your local gym with a focus on Mixed Marital Arts (MMA) style workouts. And where as Crossfit is very unilevel plane when training, like doing your lunges, squats, etc. The MMA training like Combat uses a lot of multi-plane training. If you stick totally to Crossfit training you are only getting that one level. I would recommend that anyone looking to change up you ability, and to be able to take your recovery and your strength to another level.

So how long is this program? 

It's a full 60 Day program, you’ll be getting your Combat on with all kinds of variation through the martial arts disciplines of Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, Muay Thai/Kickboxing, Capoeira, and Jiu Jitsu. Combat is surprisingly more fun than you think looking at it, and it's an amazing interval training with building heart rates and quick recovery. I also love the ability to start with a base kit, and build based on what you want. You can choose the base kit, supreme warrior kit, or the ultimate warrior kit. Each one builds on the next and adds more amazing workouts and tools.

What the official release says: 

 “Carve a lean, chiseled body in just 60 days with this fearsomely intense, utterly exhilarating, mixed martial arts-driven workout. With LES MILLS COMBAT—now available for pre-order—you’ll combine explosive, calorie-scorching moves and fat-shredding sequences from 6 major martial arts disciplines to punch, kick, block, and strike your way to an outrageously strong and sexy body.
The secret? Fast Twitch Integration Training.  LES MILLS COMBAT blends the most dynamic moves from karate, taekwondo, boxing, muay thai/kickboxing, capoeira, and jiu jitsu and combines them in explosive, escalating patterns.  This works your fast-twitch muscle fibers (the ones with the greatest capacity for change) like crazy! You’ll be burning massive amounts of calories during your workouts, and continue burning calories even after your workouts, so you’ll amp up strength and maximize lean muscle definition.  That’s how it builds your best body ever in just 60 days.”

Healthy Whey Protein Recipes

Trying to eat clean and paleo vegeo, especially if you are going as close to grain free as possible. I do recommend if you have a celiac problem that you still stay away from the gluten-free oats, but if not, it's a great option to use in your recipes. There are the best bot in terms of the steel-cut oats and the rolled oats. If you don't have the greatest blender, then I would recommend you use the rolled oats because they are easier to break down.

WheySmart Protein Waffles

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup Gluten-Free Oats
1/8 cup Flax Milk
3 large pastured eggs
3 scoops WheySmart 

Directions:
1. Pre-heat your waffle iron.
2. Add ingredients to your blender (I use my Vitamix) and mix to a batter consistency.
4. Pour batter onto waffle iron plat and close. (watch and be careful not to overfill as the whey makes them expand)
5. Waffles are done when they are golden brown on top.
