Video: Lose belly fat with Afterburn:

http://sixpackshortcuts.com/?c=3&k=55

In this video, I talk about the Afterburn Effect. This is a key concept in our program that we talk about a lot, so it's very important that you understand what you mean by this.

The scientific term for the Afterburn Effect is Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, or EPOC. It's very important to know about, because burning calories during your workout is not the only way to burn calories and fat through exercising. You also burn calories for up to 48 hours AFTER your workout is over.

It is important to learn how to maximize your EPOC (Afterburn) from your workouts if you want to get a ripped body and six pack abs. There are many ways that you can change your workouts up to maximize Afterburn, but here are just a few:

** Use heavy compound lifts for the bulk of your workout, avoid excessive isolation or machine work

** Avoid long slow cardio -- the EPOC from this has been proved to be minimal. Instead, do short, very high intensity cardio to maximize EPOC and to make your workouts shorter and more efficient.

** Eat 5 Zero Willpower meals per day, so that your body has the fuel to sustain intense workouts. Remember...you need to work out at a very high intensity to maximize Afterburn. You need to have your diet on point, so that you can do these workouts while still eating few enough calories to lose fat.

The idea is simple: MAXIMIZE your body's need to recover after your workouts. The more your body needs to recover, the more calories will be burned during recovery. And realize that the calories burned directly through a workout are only ONE PART of the picture. You also have to take into account the demand for recovery the workout creates, and the calories burned through EPOC.

There is a large amount of scientific literature proving the existence of the Afterburn Effect (EPOC). If you are a fitness geek like me I definitely encourage you to check out the studies for yourself. It will really change the way that you think about working out, and you'll realize Afterburn is a very important factor to consider when evaluating a workout

  • you change my fucking life mike! thanks:)

  • I am trying to lose 5-7 lbs. of body fat in the short term, and gain 10 lbs of muscle over the next year. My routine--lifting 3 times/ week--all compound--5x5 with heavy weight. Each workout is 25 sets approx. Run 3 days a week with about 20% at intense pace--15--20 miles/ week. Diet: about 125-150 grams protein daily--approx. 25% protein 30% fat 45% carbs--would about 2500 cal/day be about right? Age 57 body weight 157 lbs. Two months on program--feeling good. Any changes you would suggest?

  • Mike please answer me! I i wanna build big muscles do need to use many protoin drinks?

  • @mizzharris make sure you are eating right, eat healthy with protein and carbs if you wanna build muscle, cut out bad fats and sugars, keep good fats like in fish. eat small portions, but often.

  • Awesome video thank you so much!! :)

  • @mizzharris if your nutrition isn't in check you probably won't see results. Lifting weights has the afterburner affect built in because it takes calories to repair muscle

  • @10dvega

    Check out sixpackfat(dot)com , it helped me hope it helps you!
