The Fat Burn Revolution: Boost Your Metabolism and Burn Fat Fast (Bloomsbury), personal trainer and author Julia Buckley's new book, is a twelve-week fat loss fitness program offering a mix of high intensity sessions and strength training. The Fat Burn Revolution program is split into three four-week phases of different workouts so your body doesn't adapt to and is constantly challenged by the training.
The workouts are no longer than 45 minutes each, become more advanced as you progress and include upper, lower and total body, abs, hiit (high intensity interval training), weight lifting, and plyo exercises. "One reason this is super-effective is because of the 'afterburn' effect," says Julia. "Your metabolic rate goes through the roof and stays elevated even after you finish training while your body recovers. This will cause you to burn more fat 24-48 hours after exercising, depending on how intense the training was."
Russian twist: target area is the core. For the advanced version, hold a dumbbell or weight plate and twist and tap the right and left sides of the mat.
The standard way to follow the FBR is to exercise five to six days per week for twelve weeks. However, you are free to take things more gradually if you prefer to work through the program over a longer period of time. A set of dumbbells and an exercise ball are the only required equipment. While there is no structured daily meal plan or recipe book alongside the program, Julia offers some advice in the form of the following guidelines, "Eliminate sugar, replace grains and cereals (rice, bread, pasta) with vegetables, avoid calorie-laden beverages, eat lean protein at every meal, and limit dairy products." A digital FBR journal is available on her website to record daily diet and workout session details.
