The best Fat Loss Equipment.

Now, normally if you ask what's the best equipment you can use to lose fat?

My answer would be, your own body. With bodyweight workouts, you can drop pounds really fast.

BUT.

There is an equipment you can use to speed up the "Burn fat" process.

KETTLEBELL

Because of the odd design and balance issue, kettlebells are harder on your body giving more workout per sessions.

What kind of kettlebell should I use?

Kettlebell Weight for Men and Women

For starters - Get the lightest kettlebell. So that you can practice and learn kettlebell exercise without hurting yourself.

For Men to start with 16 Kgs (or 35 lbs) Kettlebell Kit.
For Women to start 18 pound kettlebell Kit.

As you get good at it. you can increase the weight. You can get your kettlebells here.

If you just spend 20 minutes per day for next 30 days. You'll find yourself dropping fat, getting more toned up and improving your stamina. I suggest you to try it.

Crossfit Diet For The beginners.

Now I was surprised they recommended any of the existing diet to go with their kind of workouts. And I did agree with their choice as it is the only SANEST DIET on the planet.

They recommend ZONE DIET. And I second that option.

Protein should be lean and varied and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.

Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of your total caloric load.

Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.

Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete. DIET INFORMATION LINK
