"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

In my opinion HIIT is not good for fat loss,
To burn fat you need to be between 70 - 80% of max heart rate for periods in exess of 15-20 mins. otherwise you will be using blood sugar and glycogen for fuel, you cant synthesise fat quickly enough for high intensity exercise, so your body wont use it.

Yes, during exercise you won't burn as much fat. But you'll eventually burn more calories which leads to fat loss.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Wassup NEWBIE101, I'm currently lifting weights for bulk 3 days a week(mon,wed, fri). I do a total body workout on those days(upper,lower body, and abs). My bench is going up 5-10 lbs a week. I want to run 60 yd sprints to improve my 40 yd speed mon through friday. Currently most of my abs are visible, but at belly button and love handle area, fat is little excessive for me. My question is can i do all this and still gain muscle and burn fat at the same time? If so, I need you to tell me what days I need to work out and run. Thanks in advance:)
In the beginning you can but this changes after a while and you need to choose either to bulk or cut and you will only be able to train each muscle once per week for hypertrophy results. Continue what you're doing now though as long as it's giving you results, you can do those 60 yard sprints.

Dont understand what you mean by,
"you'll eventually burn more calories"
Running at approx 7 MPH for 1 mile burns 100 cal
My usual run of 10 miles therefore burns 1000 cal
Sounds good to me!

PS you could always get the best of both worlds and do
runs which include Fartleks.

You didn't read what HIIT was. It's interval training which can be a combination of sprints, jogging, and walking. You are burning a crapload of calories while sprinting and recovering. Also, studies showed that people who performed 15 minutes of HIIT and people who performed 45 minutes of moderate intensity cardio burned the same amount of calories during the cardio, but the group that did HIIT burned a ton more calories after the cardio was done. Also, you shoudn't run for too long since it puts your body in a catabolic state.

Hope this helps.
