Here’s the deal:
The best way to lose fat is to –
1) Accept responsibility for you actions.
It is YOUR fault that you’re overweight.
If that statement just shocked you then you definitely need to keep reading.
And yes, I know, not a popular message in today’s society where everyone is a “victim.”
But no one forced you to eat those donuts, that pizza, and that chocolate.
Sure, you may have “felt” a certain way, but at the end of the day, it was YOUR choice. No one tied you to a chair and shoved those extra calories down your throat.
When you finally relent and say to yourself –
“Yep, this is all self-inflicted and I can and will take care of it” –
You set yourself free.
2) Focus on strength first
Everyone wants fat loss to be easy and everyone wants it to be now.
And the marketing lies have perpetuated our desires.
Unfortunately, you didn’t gain those extra 20-50 pounds over night and you’re not going to lose them overnight.
At least not with some serious effort on your part.
And where should that effort be directed?
On gaining strength – or getting stronger.
Not on jumping around up and down to a timer like some ADD kid who’s had 3 cans of Coke too many.
Why?
Because when you focus on getting stronger you:
– Focus on moving well instead of just getting the reps in so you won’t get injured
And more importantly –
And this is basic physiology 101 not marketing hype –
– When you focus on getting stronger by creating tension and lifting heavier weights – your body uses more energy because it uses the muscle fibers that demand the most energy – the type 2b fibers.
The cool thing about that is you can actually get “huffy and puffy” (out of breath) by lifting heavy weights and focusing on good technique.
And the really cool thing is that kettlebells make this much easier than just about any other tool out there so you’re
one step ahead of the rest of the population.
If you want to liberate yourself from the endless fitness marketing hype – do yourself a favor and grab your copy of “Kettlebell STRONG!” today.
Combine it with a sensible diet and watch the fat melt off your body. You won’t be able to help it – it’s just plain old physiology.
