How to Lose The Fat Before Summer

Summer fat loss is one of the most desired goals and it’s easy to understand. Most people are likely to gain some weight over the colder seasons. Summer is right around the corner, but there is still time for fat loss
Just remember the big 3. Diet, weight training and cardio.
tip: I put diet first for a reason
Diet is the key component to weight loss, next comes cardio and no fat loss routine is complete without weight training. After all, losing 10lbs is nice, but if you have no muscle to show off under that layer of fat you’re going to be disappointing when beach season rolls around.
You already know you should do your cardio first thing in the morning or immediately following your weight training session, but I’ve got another fat loss tip for you.
Eliminate Liquid Calories!
When it gets hot outside nobody enjoys a lemonade, slurpee, kool aid (pretty much any cold drink) more than me, but these soft drinks are the easiest way of NOT achieving your fat loss goal. I know it may sound harsh (especially if you like Arnold Palmer’s as much as I do) but in order to lose the fat you’re going to want to drink nothing but water.
Check this out. . .
If you drink 1 bottle of soda per day on average, that’s about 250 calories and needless to say most soda drinkers have more than 1 bottle/can per day.
250 calories x 7 days = 1,750 calories!
1lb of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. Just eliminating soda, juice, etc from your diet could mean an additional lb of fat every 2 weeks that you keep off your waistline.
By the way, today I had my last Arizona Ice Tea Arnold Palmer. Time to take my own advice and stick to water while I’m in a fat loss phase.
Whose with me?
ATG For a Jlo Booty – The Best Butt Exercise

I think it’s fair to say that a lot of you girls have a goal to get a jennifer lopez booty, well today I am going to show you some leg and buttocks exercises to help you achieve your jlo booty.
The first thing #1 rule to this is ATG on Squats. I’ve never met Jennifer Lopez so I can’t for sure say this is an exact Jennifer Lopez Workout, but I can garauntee that following these simple rules will get you stronger, sexier legs and a nice butt. How much you get out of this depends how much you put in, so if you really want a Jennifer Lopez butt you better be willing to kick ass in the gym too!
So let’s dive right into our Jlo Booty Blueprint.
If you’re unsure what ATG means, it’s an acronym that stands for “ass to grass” that is frequently use to describe squatting deep. . . until your butt literally touches the floor.
Now before we dive into the best butt exercise and why ATG is important, I need to address something that needs to be fixed. What I’m talking about is the squat. If you’re not familiar with Squats, they are one of the most powerful muscle building exercises ever and should be the core of any muscle building routine.
Now the problem with squats is. . .
1. Not enough people do them
2. Not enough people do them correctly
3. Women are afraid of them!
First of all, you SHOULD be squatting. Everyone should be squatting, there is no excuse not to be squatting. You need to squat. Especially if you want strong sexy legs and a jennifer lopez butt.
Second, if you are squatting make sure you’re doing squats with proper form. This means you should go deep. I see far too many people stack on 3 or 4 plates and barely bend their knees. You need to go deep on the squat, you’re not doing yourself any favors by stacking on the weight and doing the exercise with poor form. Go to at least parallel and preferably ATG, which brings me to problem number 3. . .
Not enough women squat, but if you ladies want a jlo booty squatting is neccesary!
I know the squat rack can be pretty intimidating. Usually there is some big guy using the squat rack, but women don’t let this scare you away (unless hes smells bad)!
Why? Because the squat is the perfect exercise to give you sexy legs and a nice tight butt. . . However, if you’re looking to get a jlo booty you need to be doing your squats ass to grass! When you go below parallel, you’re doing less work with your quads and further incorporating your gluteus maximus (your ass!) which makes this not only the best butt exercise ever, but the sexiest exercise ever!
Also, not to mention that it’s really attractive when a women steps away from the cardio machines and bravely conquers an exercise that not so many women have the courage to do.
Just check out this video. This women is not only doing deep squats, shes doing deep overhead squats!
