Hundreds of products come out every single day claiming to help you burn fat and build muscle in minutes, days or weeks. These products never work! And you know it. You either end up using that product and screwing yourself up, or you listen to others who bought the product and screwed themselves up.

Of course there are some that DO work, but they are short cuts that don’t give permanent results. Most of the products come up with a single routine to follow forever. Your body adapts to any routine within 4 weeks. Don’t you wonder why you suddenly get stuck when trying to burn fat and build muscle?

It is simple logic that muscle burns fat. Have you seen muscular people getting fat easily? If you build more muscle, your body will use the fat as energy and everything else to help sustain the muscle and increase muscle growth. So why focus on cardio and aerobics when you can focus on building muscle that will automatically help burn the fat?

1. Got for total body exercises that target major muscle groups like Chinups, Squats and Deadlifts. These exercises work the major muscle groups to their greatest potential, and also utilize the smaller muscle fibers in the process. This is a great way to burn fat while building muscle.

2. If you want real muscle growth, you need to work hard in every workout. Go to your max. Compete against yourself in your previous workout. If you did 8 reps Bench Press with 150 lbs last week, go for 9 or 10 reps with the same weight in your next workout. Or increase your weight and train to failure. Keep progressing in every workout.

3. Eat to build lean muscle not fatty jiggle. Focus on feeding your body with low GI carbs, fruits and green fibrous vegetables to build the lean, ripped body you need. Stay away from junk food.

4. Don’t overtrain yourself. Get atleast 8 hours of sleep everyday. The growth hormone levels are high when you are asleep helping your body to recover faster and build more muscle. The more tired and stressed out you remain, the less growth your body will face.

5. Stick to bodyweight exercises and free weights. They are 1000 times better than machines. As long as you aren’t doing ab exercises like the Kneeling Cable Crunch, you should always stick with bodyweight exercises and free weights to get optimal results.

If you follow these 5 simple steps, you will be away ahead of the rest of the crowd who work their butts off in the gym trying to get in better shape. You will turn heads in a few weeks if you follow the steps recommended to burn fat and build muscle accordingly.
