	Why Circuit Training? Circuit training eliminates the typical excuse for not exercising...lack of time and lack of motivation. It only takes 30 minutes to complete the workout at a steady pace. Circuit training leans the muscle and burns body fat, the most common fitness goals for females.	*By the Inch it's a Cinch!* Expect to lose 1-3 pounds a week, maximum. Studies have shown that the quicker you take it off, the quicker you're likely to put it back on. Remember that it takes 3,500 calories of energy to burn 1 pound of fat so plan to burn at least 300-500 calories per workout. Also, throw the scale away! Percent body fat is where it's at.
	Time? It only takes 30 minutes for any given workout. Gyms typically have arbitrary programs, which can conflict with each other and potentially create waiting periods for their machines. Intervals are constantly moving, so you do not have to wait on machines to open up. With the circuit, you can enter at any time after the rotation, at any station. There is no need to wait for classes to start. The biggest reason that interval training is successful is that it solves the typical problems of exercise programs: Time and Motivation. NO MORE EXCUSES!	Diet & Health? Eat breakfast every day! If you do not start your day off with a proper breakfast, your body perceives it's in a state of deprivation and begins to conserve energy. This means you burn less calories throughout the day. Eat four small meals or three main meals and one snack each day. Again, this will help to give you that satisfied feeling throughout the day by keeping your blood sugar levels elevated which will prevent binging. Avoid eating within three hours of going to bed. The closer you eat to bedtime, the more likely you will store more fat. Snack on fruit or fruit juice to satisfy your sweet tooth.

SAD, BUT TRUE ... There's no getting around it. The ugly truth is, it costs more to eat well than it does to eat junk. Yahoo's Affordable Nutrition article points out that in order for modern foods to be attractive, have a long shelf life and be inexpensive to produce, manufacturers are using colors, preservatives and chemicals that remove many of the nutritional properties of foods.

Enter Your Zone
Dr. Barry Sears advocates in his book "Enter the Zone" that each meal or snack should consist of 30% fat, 30% protein and 40% carbohydrate. Remember that carbohydrates are similar to paper in a wood burning stove and proteins are similar to wood in a wood burning stove. When consumed together, they maintain blood sugar levels for longer periods of time.

"THE ULTIMATE CURE FOR OBESITY IS EXERCISE"

Covert Bailey from The New Fit or Fat
"There is no diet now, and there will never be a diet, that cures an overweight problem."

Covert Bailey is a firm believer in exercise. If you want to lose, you gotta move.
According to him, the problem is not the excess fat, it's the lack of athletically trained muscle.

You gotta use the large muscles of your lower body (aka legs) to create aerobic conditioning.

Aerobic conditioning takes place when you perform steady and continuous exercise in your training zone for twelve minutes. That's it!...
