How Do I Know Which Fat Loss Programs Is the Right One for Me?

There are so many different kinds of fat loss programs out there... How do you KNOW which ones work and which ones are crappy?

Well, I believe there are just two things that absolutely MUST be in the fat loss program...

1. A no frills guide to quality nutrition and eating habits
2. And a well-designed total body workouts that has a combination of strength training and variations of cardio

And some of you may be interested in additional things such as meal plans and email coaching... Some programs offer those items as bonuses.

But there are lots of other questions you may have such as:

Should I Choose a Workout Program that Incorporates Cardio or Interval Training Workouts?

Well, the truth of the matter is... there are many different opinions of whether cardio or interval workouts are best for fat loss.

Here is my take on this... choose the one that you most feel comfortable with...

The Second Question You May Ask Is Which Strength Workout Routines Is Best for Fat Loss?

My take on that subject? It isn't that important as long as you do them! Bodyweight exercises, free weight workouts or even machine weight exercises...

As I said before... there are lots of opinions and there are many folks showing studies that support their side of the argument...

But I don't think that really matters too much so don't sweat the small details so much...

Just choose an complete fat loss program that you are comfortable with and STICK WITH IT!

Don't waffle back and forth and then say they don't work... the fault then my friend, lies completely with... YOU!

For me... I used to belong to a full fledged gym for a couple of years... it had everything! All kinds of weight machines... mirrors... good smelling soap... but it was a total waste of my money for several factors... #1... I didn't know how to gain weight correctly so all that work and effort lead to zippo... #2... it is easy to get distracted... talking with with friends... watching pretty women walk by... driving to and from the gym...

And then I got a Bowflex machine and used THAT at home for about five years. Same problem... I didn't know what the hell I was doing... I did a lot of work but had nothing to show for it...

So I sold that and started doing bodyweight exercises... from a program called Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne... and TOTALLY loved it! And if you look at the picture below... Craig proves that you can get 6 pack abs just with bodyweight exercises alone... plus following recommended nutritional habits... of course.

In my opinion... bodyweight training is MUCH harder than any other workouts. It makes you stronger and there is more variety to challenge yourself.

In fact, here is a measuring test of your fitness level, you should be able to do these exercises:

	50 Pushups
	20 Dips
	15 Pullups

But again, it is all a matter of preference. But the important thing is to do the strength workout routines if you want to get stronger, bigger and lose body fat.

There is NO other "fast" weight loss substitute... so forget all those fat loss pills... body training magazines... the latest "hot" but expensive supplement that does nothing but make expensive pee... and those ab machines you see on the late night commercials...

Conclusion About Which Fat Loss Program to Choose

If you want to get that ripped abs and chiseled look... you are going to have to follow a good nutrition plan and an effective workout routine that incorporates strength training plus a little healthy heart training.

Choosing the right program should be a matter of preference. Don't get all caught up in the "minor" disagreements what specific workout is BEST. Just pick a good fat loss program like Turbulence Training and stick with it.
