To make it as easy as possible, we're giving you 3 easy steps to follow, below... All you need to do is follow each step, in the order given, and we can guarantee that you'll be pleasantly surprised as your fat melts away and your well-toned muscles shine through:

STEP 1: Cut Through the Hype!

Isn't it shocking that every single person person in the United States doesn't look like a beautiful fitness model? Especially with all the "miracle supplements and diets" out there?

Reality check: If it sounds to good to be true, it "definitely" is!

Listen, diets and supplements are big business, and the companies in this industry know that people are desperately looking for a perfect weight loss solution, and month after month, year after year, these companies make big money selling false hopes and dreams of "miracle weight loss"...

Here's the truth: Not all fad diets and fat-loss supplements are bad, but the majority of them are! Does this come as a shock to you? If it does, just look around you and you'll see how many "not so fit" people there are... If there really was a perfect solution, don't you think everyone would be in perfect shape?

Losing fat and toning up your muscles doesn't have to be hard, but it will take a little effort from your part.

As far as fad diets are concerned, there are two main ones that we'll focus on:

1) Atkins Diet: This diet works, but in the long term, research has proven that it is not any more effective than low-calorie/low-fat diets. And, the Atkins Diet can really cause a host of problems if you follow it too strictly, from constipation to brain fatigue. This is because Atkins diets are low in fiber and low in carbs...

2) South Beach Diet: This diet is a little bit better and more up to date, but once again, its good for the short-term, and in the long run, you'll be missing out on some key nutrients that'll eventually catch up to your health.

--> When it comes to dieting, your best bet is to eat healthy, balanced meals, period...

Not only will a balanced diet help you lose fat, but it'll also keep you healthy, giving you more energy to go to the gym, better brain concentration, and an overall better immune system!

But, there are three important notes about eating healthy to lose fat as quickly as possible:

1) You must, at all cost, reduce refined, processed sources of carbs, such as white bread, pasta, and white rice. This is because these carbs are of very little nutritional value and high in "empty calories". These foods digest way too fast, sending your insulin levels spiking through the roof, crashing your metabolism, and robbing you of energy. These foods are notorious for converting into fat.

2) You must, at all cost, completely avoid foods with artificial sugar, such as artificial fruit juice, soda, and candy. Once in a while, maybe twice a month, it is okay for you to treat yourself to a small dessert.

3) You must, at all cost, completely avoid fried foods! There is no exception to this rule. Fried foods are high in trans fats and saturated fats, and these types of "bad fats" go straight to your gut and right into your arteries. Run from fried foods as if they are a plague.

Other than that, you are free to enjoy all types of meat, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and breads (whole wheat and whole oats)...

STEP 2: Learn Training Guidelines

So, have you completed step number one? Did you get your powerful free report, "The 10 Hidden Keys to Rapidly Burning Stubborn Fat"?  If you have, lets move on...

Working out to burn fat and develop nice, well-toned muscles can be a lot of fun!

The truth is, you don't need to bust your butt spending long hours in the gym every single day. What you're about to learn is the smarter way to workout, so you can leverage your time and effort to burn more fat while doing less...

An extremely important thing to realize is that in order to maximize fat loss, you must do some form of resistance training / weight lifting.

Did you know that weight lifting can boost your metabolism by 200-300%, burn fat while you sleep, and dramatically boost the results of your cardio routine?

Its all true...After proper nutrition, weight lifting is your next best friend for dropping the fat quickly!

Okay, let us establish three important guidelines before we go any further:

1) It is best for you to do your main cardio AFTER a light weight lifting session. To be more precise, you should always warm-up for 5 to 7 minutes before you do your resistance training, but your main cardio session (20 to 40 minutes) should come AFTER your weight lifting routine... Following this strategy will burn two to three times more fat during your cardio, since your metabolism will have sky-rocketed!

2) Make sure to do a light weight lifting session, not a long, intense one. You need to have energy to perform your cardio. 20 minutes of weight training is all you need to super-charge your metabolism and heart rate.

3) Before your workout, snack primarily on fruits, and avoid complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat breads, oats, granola bars, etc... If you eat complex carbs, you run the risk of providing your body with too much "carb fuel" to burn, which goes against your goals of burning "fat for fuel".

--> So, how should you weight train and how should you perform your cardio?

To answer the first question of "how you should weight train", we have prepared another exclusive report entitled: "Insider Weight Lifting Tips for Fast, Maximum Results"...

If you requested the fat-loss report we recommended in step one, then you will automatically receive the weight lifting report in your e-mail as well...

However, if you still haven't requested the fat-loss report, then here's a second chance to get both reports, and be well on your way to training effectively and maximizing fat-loss...

Okay, now we can answer the question of "how you should perform your cardio"...

There are two important elements to a highly effective cardio routine that burns a ton of calories and fat:

1) Working Constantly - This basically means that if you decide to do a 30 minute cardio session, you do it for a full 30 minutes without taking any breaks. To maximize fat-loss, you must keep your heart rate elevated and keep your body moving...

2) Variable Intensity - This is very important, and it means that you should switch between low and high intensity during your cardio session. For example, for the first 5 minutes, you do a light jog - Then for the next 5 minutes, you raise the intensity to medium running - Then you bring it back down to a light jog, raise it again, and keep repeating this pattern until the end of your cardio session...

Research has proven that your body burns more calories with variable intensity than it does with a single intensity. This is because you are shocking the body and not allowing it to gain efficiency...

Stair climbers, treadmills, and elliptical trainers are all excellent for cardio, but remember to follow the two keys mentioned above, and always do your cardio for a minimum of 20 minutes and for as long as 40 minutes.

STEP 3: Lets Start Training...

Now its time to get right down to the weight lifting routines...

With each of the routines below, you can modify them and add cardio based on the guidelines covered in Step 2.

It is important to note that there is no one particular way to organize a training routine. It will depend on your body type and level of experience, but the routines below are a general guideline of how a muscle toning / fat-loss routine is usually structured...

The main thing with muscle toning and losing fat is to keep your heart rate elevated and to avoid lifting too intensely. The goal here is not to gain muscle, but rather to shape your muscles and burn fat.

If you over exert yourself while doing the weight lifting portion of the workout, you risk overall overtraining, injury, and nutrient deficiency.

If you want to gain muscle mass AND lose fat, then you better be ready to watch exactly what you eat before and after your workout, and you better be at an intermediate or advanced level of training...
