Best Exercises for Xcelerating Fat Loss and Building Lean Muscle

As a high school/college athlete and a current trainer and coach, I know a thing or two about exercise selection. I am constantly asked what the best exercises are to burn fat AND build muscle quickly.

I’m going to keep this as simple as possible. The best exercises for fat loss also happen to be the best ones for muscle gain. These exercises all have one common thread: they provide a UNIQUE challenge to your body AND involve as many muscles in your body as possible.

Scientific research and real world case studies have shown that total body workouts are incredible for maximum fat loss and muscle gain. But let’s take this one step further…

Let’s dramatically Xcelerate results by selecting TOTAL BODY EXERCISES within each TOTAL BODY WORKOUT! Look at this example: squats are one of the best muscle-builders with serious fat-burning effect. However, the squat goes from great to UNBEATABLE for changing your body for the better when you combine it with another movement by adding a row or press to each squat rep. By combining an additional exercise with the squat you just Xcelerated your workout.

It’s as simple as the Xcelerate Fat Loss Equation below:

Performing Total Body Exercises Within Each Total Body Workout --

More Muscles Involved = More Calories Burnt + Greater Muscle-Building Stimulus =

Greater Fat Lost + Greater Muscle Gain

I'll be honest and say there is a true love-hate relationship with the following movements I am about to share with you. Love because of the Xcelerated fat-melting, muscle-building results they provide to help maximize my results. Hate because they break me every single workout. In other words, these are not for the weak of mind, body, or soul!
