Hello and welcome to the Mr. Fat Loss blog!

This has been something I’ve wanted to do for awhile and with everybody  coming into the marketplace with a variety of fat loss products that promise the stars and the moon, plus make you look fabulous…I thought a personal guide to assist you would be a good idea!

The main reason is that I want to help you with sorting out some of the fluff and provide some direction for you while  you look for the right fat loss program that’ll help you.

After 32 years of personal experience with exercise, fitness and health…I still look for the “new” the better, the faster or best fat loss program.

Its very hard and determining the “best or right” program can be challenge when all the information is sounding pretty much the same, just a different person or company promoting the next “magic bullet.”

I’d like to provide you with as many resources available so you can look for yourself and measure the claims made by each of the experts on the marketplace. Along with the ones I feel are important to include when putting together and building effective fat loss programs.

I’ll also be very blunt in many cases, not to offend , but to shake some of you up that have been saying you are “trying, thinking about or should” do something or that “it’s too hard to change” a bit more than “doing” what you should be doing to accomplish healthy fat loss as your goal.

In my mind, over all improved mental and physical health should be the goal of everyone on the planet…actually, to be the best human being you can. But, without making this a political forum or blog, instead comments focused on important fitness and health related topics will be welcome and appreciated with fat loss more as a side benefit of healthy lifestyle changes.

I also will have people from around the globe looking at the information here with the translator bar in all dialects available…so welcome visitors! Along with that there are a few sections you may want to explore which contain elements you might not currently have employed in your own fat loss programs.

These individuals in my professional opinion are some of the best in the world and will offer you a lot of information so that you can judge their abilities for yourself before going any further.

In addition, there will be variety of teleseminars, videos, articles and Q & A opportunity with so much new information related to any and all areas regarding fat loss strategies…with fantastic, thought provoking content.

Although it seems that each year new ideas come out about the best or fastest method for fat loss…human beings have not changed physically in a long time and unlike technology, do not adapt or evolve as quick.

Same stuff that got people lean a hundred years ago, still works today…hard, purposeful work.

That being said, you will not find a short cut method here, nor will I endorse it, but just common sense approaches to an age old desire…lean muscle.

Thank you for stopping by,

The Various Indoor Machines for Cardio

When you are looking at the various indoor machines for cardio, you might not be aware of what to buy and what is best for your body or the space you have available at home. There are various machines that you can use for your home. But which ones are the most beneficial and what are the features of each? Let’s have a look at the various indoor cardio machines that you can use for the best results.

Elliptical Machines:

Elliptical trainers have gained some considerable popularity over the years. This machine has pedals that you place your feet on. The body movements seen during walking, running or cross country skiing is simulated on this machine, with the exception of it being almost effortless. For example, it can give you the feel of running in mid air!

There are types that can work the whole body instead of just your legs because you involve the arms with added resistance pushing and pulling the machines vertical arm levers. However, while these machines can increase your heart rate, they are not very efficient in developing all your stabilizing muscles.

Treadmills:

Most of us have heard of treadmills. It is a great alternative for walking or running in case you aren’t able to do it outside. A treadmill can prove to be much more effective than the elliptical machines. It helps to develop your muscles and strengthen your bones with the action of ground impact on the lower leg. It provides with all the similar benefits of actually walking and running while reducing the level of impact due to a softer padded tread belt.

Stair Climbers

They simulate the effects of climbing a staircase, and can result in various benefits of increased burning of calories, developing your hamstring and quad muscles, buttocks, calves and imparting an overall good lower body strengthening and cardiovascular workout. These machines come with a display showing you how many calories you have burnt, how many steps you have climbed and the time you have been on the job. You can even control the resistance of the pedals acting as the steps of the stairs!

Stationary Bikes

These simulate the effects of riding a bike. They provide a very effective workout at a lower intensity. You can develop your thighs and your hamstring muscles, and add to the flexibility of your cardio program. You must sit with an erect spine and a flat stomach for the best results. Although they burn less calories compared to the treadmill, they are generally seen to be used more frequently and for longer durations by their users, as they can provide an alternative fun, but still challenging workout. Two types of bikes are available. One is the upright posture version and the other is the recumbent, the legs positioned in front of torso. These two types both allow an unloaded or reduced lower body stress alternative to transitioning back into a cardio program during the post injury phase of rehabilitation programs.

Depending on what you think will be the best option for you, make your selection wisely. It is very important to read through the manuals and instructions provided with these various pieces of equipment to learn safety requirements. In addition, you can even possibly hire a professional to help with proper set up of the equipment and your cardio program for the best results.

Indoor machines for cardio can be a fun way to take care of your health and fitness issues, plus save time by eliminating travel to and from your commercial gym or favorite outdoor cardio activities!
