The elevator door opens, an old friend walks in, takes one look at you and says, “You look great! How did you lose all that weight?” Thanks… but where do I start?

[Mirror mirror on the elevator wall - who's the thinnest one of them all?]

Do you talk about all the different fat loss programs you’ve tried?

Let’s all admit one thing right from the start: It’s so much more enjoyable to complete a cardio workout through a game or sport then by traditional means.

 
[HINT: The sport I'm talking about in this post is a close relative to tennis. Err... excuse me sir, you have something stuck in your back!]

Forget treadmills, ellipticals, step-machines, or whatever other piece of equipment you’ll find at your local gym. I’d rather be testing my physical abilities, or lack thereof, opposite another person or group of people playing basketball, soccer, football, or ultimate frisbee to name a few.

But mainstream sports aside, today’s article is about a sport that suffers from a reputation as a pastime for only the elite in society. How ironic is it then that it was likely invented by

You’ve seen it at your local grocery store, at a popular fast food chain (why were you there in the first place?), or worse yet, in front of a mirror. Yes, it’s belly fat, a ponch, your gut, muffin top, the pooch, beer belly, whatever the cool kids call it these days.

More specifically, we are talking about lower abdominal fat, which can be broken down into abdominal visceral fat (AVF) and abdominal subcutaneous fat (ASF). I’ve talked about these two types of fat extensivly in previous articles so I’m gonna keep it simple stupid for us here. AVF is internal fat around your organs while ASF can be thought of as the outside fat we see in the mirror.

So how do

It’s a question that was recently asked of us here at The Fat Loss Authority and a very important one to discuss.

If you remember anything from your Health Study classes in school, you’ll remember that 99.99999% (I’m exaggerating but not by much) of the calcium in your body is stored in your bones and teeth. The other 1% is primarily found in your bloodstream and helps control muscle movements, blood clotting and nerve impulses.

Simply put: if you lose calcium from your bones, your bones will be weaker.

In a 2006 study performed by various physicians in the state of New York, it was found that the calcium concentration of water varies from 1 to 135 mg/L across the USA and Canada.

Most spring waters were found to have a relatively low calcium concentration, with an average of 21.8 mg/L. Purified

Watching the finale of Biggest Loser last night was inspiring. No need to recap, just find it on TiVO and you’ll be amazed at the transformations. But one thing that the audience should not gloss over is the end goal. As in, there is no end goal:

It’s a lifestyle!

[Congrats to Jerry Hayes for winning the at home portion of Biggest Loser. At 64, he was the show’s oldest contestant ever. He was eliminated early in the competition but continued to lose weight after the show going from 369 to 192 pounds, a loss of 177 pounds, or 47.97 percent weight loss. Look at the intensity in Jerry's face!]

If you want to burn off fat and keep it off permanently, there are a few things you absolutely must do (ie.

The arm is one of the first things noticed by others. It can be covered up with a sleeve or fully exposed. If they are well defined, chances are the rest of the body is too. Here are five ways to sculpting your guns a la Ron Burgundy:

1. Work your Triceps

The triceps comprise 60% of your upper arm, therefore, you should be training them 10% more then your biceps! The two muscles compliment each other and for a great workout try doing bicep and triceps exercises in the same workout.

2. Supersets

Super what? A superset consists of doing one exercise followed immediately by another different exercise. For example, doing dumbbell curls followed by overhead triceps extensions. Not only will this give you
