Now, onto some common fat burning mistakes...

1) Worrying about how many calories are counted on your cardio
machine.

I don't like this "break the body down" mindset. Instead, I'd rather
you focus on building the metabolism up, so we can forget about the
400 calories burned during a slow cardio workout, and focus on the
bigger metabolism boost you'll get all day from harder, shorter
workouts.

2) Neglecting Nutrition as the #1 Fat Burning Key.

I've said this many, many times. Your nutrition is more important
than your workout. You must follow an eating program where you eat
fewer calories than you need, and you must focus on high-quality,
nutrient dense foods. Avoid energy dense foods.

A nutrient dense food is an apple.

An energy dense food is a muffin (by the way, most muffins are just
miniature cakes, but no one likes to admit to eating cake for
breakfast).

Choose the apple. Toss the muffin (top and bottom!). And if you're
traveling, plan ahead. Take a couple of apples and some almonds in
your carry-on so you don't get sucked into airport food!

3) Doing the same workout over and over again.

I know a woman that goes into the gym everyday, at the same time,
with the same magazine (well, a different issue of People each
week, I suppose), and does the exact same workout, from cardio to
the machines and a bunch of useless ab exercises to finish it off.

Shockingly, said with sarcasm, her body looks the same now as it did
over 2 years ago when I first saw her workout routine.

Don't get stuck on autopilot doing the same thing over and over, no
matter how much you like it. Use a different interval program every
4 weeks. Do something different on your off-days from month to
month. Try different types of workouts every 4 weeks - never go
longer than 6 weeks on a program.

Change is good!

4) And finally, take notes.

Keep track of your food intake and your workout output. Keep an eye
out for what works best for you. That way, whenever you get stuck,
you can refer back to past successes and use that program again for
quick results.

That's all for today.
