Cardio Threshold Training - Medium Intensity Days

The Plan: The threshold workout or medium intensity workout is the #1 workout that most cardio athletes and enthusiasts miss in their programs. The goal of the threshold workouts is to work at the max at which your aerobic metabolism produces energy. Because you have another energy source called your anaerobic metabolism, you have the ability to train harder or faster than a proper threshold workout. Most people thinking that they need to be killing themselves to be getting a good workout never slow down enough to train their body effectively.

Your aerobic metabolism is the way your body burns fat and carbs as energy with the use of oxygen.

Five Easy Steps to Fat Loss and Building Lean Muscle Mass

Successfully building lean muscle tissue can be a challenge. So often people gain muscle only to add fat as well. With 5 simple steps you can add size without adding the weight you don't want.

1. Eat 4-6 small meals daily.

Spreading your calories out during the day keeps your metabolism moving and your energy levels high. "It may be the most important aspect in fat loss" says Bobby Hiatt, online fitness trainer. It's also important to make sure that each meal contains a balance of nutrients, namely protein, carbohydrate and fat. Good sources of protein include fish, lean meat, chicken, eggs, turkey, and whey protein. Preferred sources of carbohydrates include fruit, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Olive oil, nuts (including peanuts) and fish oils are a healthy source of fat. If you're too busy to cook and prepare regular high-protein, low-fat meals, then meal replacements (such as Max-Meal High Protein) and nutrition bars (like Cyclone Bars and Max-Meal bars) will help you to feed your body with the nutrients it needs to burn fat and build muscle.

2. Choose the right carbohydrates.

Complex carbohydrates that are high in fiber (like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts). Highly refined carbohydrates like sugary cereals, cookies, chips, fizzy drinks and chocolate bars have little nutritional value and can easily be stored as body fat. Eat these foods in moderation only. If you have cravings for chocolate, Max-Meal bars will help to satisfy your cravings for rich, delicious food without making you feel guilty.

3. Don't forget completely about the fat.

Despite the hype in the 80's and 90's, fat IS an important part of everyone's diet and is necessary for fat loss. In fact, the latest research shows that CLA, a type of fat called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (known also as CLA), can make losing fat and building muscle faster and easier. CLA refers to a family of naturally occurring polyunsaturated fats found primarily in beef, lamb, and dairy products. Unlike stimulant-based fat burners, CLA is natural and safe. Many previous trials show that CLA also has potent muscle-building effects. Every fat cell in the body wants to get big. What the CLA does is force that fat cell to stay little by affecting a number of enzymes that are ordinarily responsible for filling it with lipids. In other words, CLA literally diverts the calories you eat away from fat and into muscle tissue. .

4. Don't cut your calories too low.

Drastic calorie cutting attempts usually result in failure. If you want lasting results and not just a quick fix, then your best bet is to reduce the number of calories in each meal, rather than skipping meals. A great and easy way to do this is by replacing some of the starchy carbohydrate in your diet with fruit and vegetables. For example, instead of having a bowl full of cereal, cut the serving size in half, and replace it with berries (such as strawberries or raspberries). Using whey protein (such as Promax) and water instead of milk will also help to increase the protein content of your diet.

5. Give yourself one cheat day per week.

If you are eating "clean" 6 days a week, you deserve a cheat day. Pick one day per week and save all your cravings for that special day. Make a chocolate dessert, or have some extra pasta with dinner. Whatever it is, after 6 days of keeping your diet in order you deserve a day of eating some of your favourite foods. Your body can handle it. Remember that you can't gain a significant amount of fat in just one day. It takes weeks of poor eating to add that weight.

Eric N. (WA) "I work 10 hour days everyday, and by the time I get home and get ready for the gym, i'm just completely worn out. I started using Palo Alto Labs Reset-A.D. about four weeks ago, and I've noticed that my energy levels at the end of the day have definitely picked up. "

Sarah R. (FL) "I don't get home from work until 8pm every day, and by the time 9:30pm rolls around, I'm usually a sleep on the couch, even on Friday nights! I really don't have much of a social life anymore because i'm just too tired. I read about Adrenal Fatigue online, and i'm pretty sure that's what my issue is. I'm going give Reset-A.D. try, and hopefully I'll be able to function a little better at night on the weekends. "

Brent S . (NJ) "I generally make it into the gym atleast 4 to 5 days a week, but over the last year my energy levels have really been suffering due to much longer hours in the office and a new boss. I pop energy pills a couple times a day and drink three cups of coffee, but they just don't seem to help out the same way anymore. I recently started using Reset-AD and I've definitely noticed a significant boost in my energy levels at the gym. "

Darren W. (OH) "Sometimes when people ask, I tell them that I live in a perpetual state of fatigue. I don't know all the medical stuff behind adrenal fatigue, but it sure seems like that's what's causing my problems. I used to be a pretty active guy, but I've really slowed down over the last few years, and I'm only 32! I heard about Reset-A.D. from a friend, and I'm definitely going to give it a try. I'm sick of hearing my wife whine on Friday nights, because we rarely go out, and I'm usually asleep on the couch by 10pm.”
