Whether on the stepmill at the gym or scaling the floors in your office building, taking steps two at a time will provide greater muscular benefits and a greater overall caloric burn.

2. Map out your plate

Taking a moment to mentally separate your dinner plate into sections can help you visualize how acceptable serving sizes look. “Break” your plate in half, fill one of these sides with vegetables and whole grains. Split the other half into two once again; one of these sections will hold your lean protein serving while the other is the perfect size for a serving of healthy fats.

3. Add five minutes to your time

If you generally go for 30 minutes during your cardio workout, try boosting your time to 35, tacking on another five minutes every second workout until you reach 45 minutes. Increasing your workout time gradually will make the jump from a half hour to three-quarters of an hour seem like a breeze!

4. Try a new, exotic food each week

You don’t have to be making squid and lemongrass stir-fry for every meal, but taking your taste buds on a culinary adventure every now and again can help relieve the mediocrity of dieting.

5. Do an exercise – backward

We don’t mean that you should do an about-face when squatting or pressing. Instead, try focusing on the eccentric motion of each rep – basically, the portion of the exercise wherein your target muscle lengthens.

For example, as you are doing a biceps curl, slowly return the weight to the starting position, fighting against gravity, instead of letting your arms swing to the bottom. During a squat, use control and clench your glutes as you sink to the lowest part of the move.

Why? Your muscles are actually able to move more weight during the eccentric portion of a lift – up to 40 precent more, in fact – than during the concentric portion

Running on a treadmill is a bore, even with our LCD TV’s and iPod’s, treadmill time always seems to pass slowly. That’s where our new Virtual Active Treadmills come in. Each of our new machines is pre-loaded with five different US locations to run through & each location is broken up into 6 sections.

Here’s an Example

Hit Virtual Active on the touch screen & select “Los Angeles”. The screen shows an overview of the USA as it zooms into where you are about to run. The video begins on the ‘Hollywood Walk of Fame’ complete with locals pushing trolleys, hanging on street corners even the pigeons flee when you approach.

This is a flat stretch of road so the treadmill stays level. Increase your speed and the video speeds up to match. (On a side note each video location lasts for 30-45min depending on your speed. If you run for longer than this the playback simply loads the next location).

Back to LA

About 12min in at a steady pace and we are now in the Hollywood hills. Dirt tracks and a gradual climb sees the treadmill’s incline smoothly adjust to match the hills on the video feed. You can always manually adjust the speed up or down when the going gets tough.

The famous Hollywood sign can be seen in the distance as you start to breathe deeply and wonder if you will make it without being a wimp and decreasing the speed but you’re saved by a slight downhill before the trail kicks up again.

Hit ‘pause’ and re-fill that drink bottle before you resume your run back to the top.
