I watch trainers at my gym all the time put people on those things, and in almost every case, the person can't do the movement correctly. I always think, why not see if your client can do a bodyweight squat on the ground before introducing the bosu. But the trainers must think it makes them look cool and cutting-edge. Amen.

I went through a phase of weighing myself on the scales at my gym before each workout (4-5 times a week). Some days the weight was down, some days the weight was back up. I really lost a lot of motivation on the days when I 'gained' a couple of pounds. Thankfully I 'saw the light' and have stopped weighing myself.

I know for a fact that interval training promotes a healthier and shaplier body. I use this type of training wiht my clients (I'm a Personal Trainer just for clarification). Although I implment high intensity cardio (30-45 seconds) within the workout, I have my clients perform weight training exercises in between, as well. Basically, for about 2 minutes they do a weight resistance exercise followed by high intensity cario burst. The reason why I encourage weights in the workout is to increase muscle mass as well as the clients' metabolic rate. Pretty much all of my clients have noticed a significant difference in their appearance as well as their energy. It makes both them and I feel great about the workout. Hi there:

I might add that Glutamine also is very important. I was not aware of the benefits of fish oil, but will try it after reading your article. I strongly suggest creatine for people who are getting older, as it helps them to maintain their muscle mass, and there has not been any negative issues with it. I will be reading your blog and suggesting it to others. Keith,

Any kind really. Weights, body weight work, bands, etc.. doesnt matter really. As long as there is a progressive resistance over time, you will be fine. Personally, I see more results with people and myself from heavy free weights. “So what kind of resistance training would you combine this with?”

When I first heard about it I was completely skeptical. I thought..."how on earth can I get a good cardio workout in 15 minutes?" I figured that there was no way to burn fat in that little time. After all, isn't cardio supposed to be long and boring? I decided to give it a try anyway. After a few weeks of doing it, I could see the fat starting to melt away. As well, I felt my internal body temperature kick up a few notches, a sign that my ultra-slow metabolism was speeding up. What I found, was that nothing else gave me the types of results I found with HIIT. Yes, it is extremely hard...but it's over in 15 minutes. And I always felt as though I got a much better workout with HIIT. And, it never gets too easy or boring, because you can always make your intervals longer. Great article! I highly recommend trying it! About a year ago, I started training with HIIT. When I first heard about it I was completely skeptical.
