Summer Is Almost Here: Top Tips for Reaching Your Goal Now
The snow has melted and you’re finally able to put away that heavy winter jacket. It’s not quite the time to start sporting the bathing suit but it’s not far off. Are you just shy of your weight loss or muscle building goals or have you yet to start? No matter your situation, you can make huge changes in your life by taking small steps. Let’s take a look at the top fat loss and muscle buildings tips featuring the short sleeve sauna shirt from Kutting Weight.
Fat Loss
First up is burning away that stubborn body fat. Exercise plays a key role in body fat loss as you have to expend more calories than you consume each day. The training methodology that has been scientifically proven to result in the greatest weight loss is High Intensity Interval Training.
In contrast to your usual slow pace cardio day on the treadmill, H.I.I.T. takes a fraction of the time and provides double the benefits. H.I.I.T. involves performing 4 to 10 bodyweight-based exercises including squats and push-ups in rapid succession. The only break you get comes at the end of one full set of each exercise. Rest up for 2 minutes then start again. Not only will you see dramatic improvements in strength and endurance but you’ll be amazed at how you look after a few short weeks.

Muscle Building
Like fat loss, muscle building relies a great deal on the exercise you perform. The difference is the type of exercises you should be using. Muscular hypertrophy is triggered in a number of ways but one of the tried and true methods involves the following acute variables:
- Exercises: Compound movements (Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts)
- Sets: 2 to 5
- Repetitions: 8 to 12
- Volume: 65% to 80% of your one-repetition maximum
- Tempo: 2 / 0 / 2
- Rest Break: 60 to 90 seconds
