Totally agree… I like to do the free 12-min workouts from http://www.bodyrock.tv/ they’re fun, have good tutorials, and they’re SO hard that you really feel like you’re getting a great work out.

I am 50 lbs overweight and a diabetic. I have recently started a diet and exercise program on my own on the advice on my doctor. I have made some progress – not alot.
I have tried other fat loss and diabetic programs before but they have not helped. You come accross as such an honest and genuine guy who just has a passion for seeing people transform their bodies using a healthy approach to eating and exercising. You have already given us some tips on healthy eating but I love the idea that there is actually a cheat day involved!!! Imagine that!!
I truly believe that this program can transform my body to its perfect weight.
Thanks for the opportunity to actually receive this program as a gift from you – you are awesome!!!

Promotional materials (videos, etc.) take (waste) much too much time. I turn them off after ~ 30 sec.

I HAVE SEVERE ARTHRITIS AND FYBROMYALGIA AND CCANNOT EXERCISE, BUT I HATE BEING FAT! I REALLY NEED SOMETHING TO HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT

I tried to send this from my phone, but was not able to find it anywhere in the comments. So if you really want something you try again. So hopefully posting from computer this will work. I really want to win this amazing program.

This program sounds like just what i’ve been looking for. I need to lose 40-50lbs. Recently I gained 20 of those lbs, now alot of my clothes don’t fit, and my belly isn’t always covered by my shirts. I know I am embarrased and imagine my kids are too. I have tried many diets, but what I really need is to learn how to boost my metabolism, and learn what to eat when. My boys are both in rep sports summer and winter. There are alot of quick meals and also some fast food. I need to learn how to cheat appropriately so that I won’t have the yo yo dieting effect. But I want and need to get healthy. If I learn these secrets I will make it a way of life. It will change my life forever. Thanks Lisa

@ Aaron Ivey:
On the lexicon of most trainers Interval work and HIIT refer to the various forms of cardio not resistance training. The resistance training equivalent is circuit training. There is a paradoxical effect associated with both forms of training, the training effect in fact occurs during the recovery and not the load phase. The research on kettlebells have found an excellent cardio component without any dedicated cardio component wjhich is true of all forms of strength circuit training.

My point is that there are standard forms of terminology assigned to the various different types of workouts, to create your own leads to confusion and a lack of communication.

I do cardio (treadmill ) at 7.5 mph for 30 mins. and burn exactly 500 cals. But I never look forward to doing cardio unless i take oxy elite pro diet pills which gives me the boost. I was wondering if running 7.5mph is unnecessary in order to lower my body fat % and does starting and stopping ( every 2 mins)throughout the whole 30 mins of my run ruin my chances of lowering my body fat?

@ Sergeant Major:
I’ve used kettlebells to get a great HIIT workout by performing kettlebell swings. I also include supersets or high intensity total body exercises much like you would a circuit workout or metabolic resistance exercises. The point is to make the transition from one exercise to the next such that your heart rate becomes elevated.

Interval training refers to high intensity “exercise” followed by lower intensity active rest not simply traditional modes of “cardio.”

@ Ken:
Since kettlebells are a strength workout I am a bit puzzled as to how you do HIIT with them. HIIT refers to a form of cardio workout. Are you condusing HIIT with Tabata Protocol or circuit training?
Since the biomechanics of an elliptical are not in any way natural or related to any movements we do in real time I am confused as to the benefits of “interval traing” on a machine which applies Newton’s Laws of Motion and assists the workout due to the pendulum efect.
