THE BEST EXERCISE FOR LOSING WEIGHT!!!!

Almost everyone asks me at some point, "what is the best exercise(s) for losing weight/burning fat/toning?"

Everyone, today is your lucky day!!

The very best exercise you can do to lose weight are Fork Drops. The more you can do, the more successful you will be! Here is how it works:

Exercise: Fork Drops
Muscles Used: Phalanges Extensors, Cerebrum (will power)
Sets/Reps: As many reps following 4-6 proportionally and nutritionally appropriate meals
Instructions: Release the tightly gripped fork full of food by extending your fingers to an open palm position.

That's it folks! That's the secret. Here are a few alternative exercises if you have trouble with Fork Drops:

Exercise: Mike Boyle's "Table Push-aways"
Muscles Used: Pectorals, Anterior Deltoids, Triceps
Sets/Reps: As many reps following 4-6 proportionally and nutritionally appropriate meals
Instructions: Place hands on the side of the dinner table roughly shoulder width apart and push yourself away by contracting your pecs.

Exercise: Scott Henry's "Get-ups"
Muscles Used: Glutes, Hamstrings, Gastrocnemius, Quadriceps
Sets/Reps: As many reps following 4-6 proportionally and nutritionally appropriate meals
Instructions: In a neutral spine position, squeeze your glutes extending your hips and get up out the dinner chair.

All three of these exercises will help you lose weight and burn fat.

Seriously though, caloric intake is roughly 80-85% of changing body composition. You can lose weight, get abs, and fit into those "high school" jeans. It's about being disciplined in your nutrition. 4-6 well portioned meals a day will give you energy and control the calories.

Of course working out helps. Burning calories helps you get to optimal weight quicker. Follow a few of these tips:

1. Resistance Train

Lift weights people. Try to get full body workouts in. The more muscles you use, the more work produced, which spells burning more calories. Also, the more muscle mass you have, the more you can enjoy the guilty pleasures of life because your metabolic rate will be higher.

2. Cardio is what you make of it
Understand that there is an inverse relationship between Time and Intensity. You can jog on a treadmill for 90 minutes like a lab rat on a wheel or you can do some intervals and bust your ass for far less time. You'll burn more calories in 20 minutes of interval training, increase your work capacity, and get the hell out of the gym quicker.

3. Eat well 80% of the time
The entire point of this article is the importance of nutrition with respects to weight loss. To be really honest, you get real disciplined in nutrition and you don't even need to exercise. It will take a lot longer, but in time you would lose the lbs you want.  Calories are that important. Spread your meals, make them healthy and control your emotional involvement with food.
