The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling
down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90
second cool down in between each outburst.
This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth
hormone in the body. I encourage you to visit Dr Mercola’s site to learn more about Peak 8 fitness
because I personally feel that it is one of the best ways to exercise, especially considering the speed at
which you can lose fat and build muscle.
I highly recommend you read this article and watch the videos on the page. It will give you all the
information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20
Minutes.
What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter
It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise
because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body. The links are

Figure your heart rate by this formula
The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate zone.
The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target
heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work
most effectively during your cardio workouts.
First thing in the morning before you get out of bed have a clock with a second hand and check your
resting heart rate then figure your rate by the Karvonen Formula
The following link will help you figure your heart rate by the Karvonen Formula.

You burn 30 percent more fat from doing cardio after a weights session as opposed to cardio on its own.
You can do interval training just by walking, jump rope,
stationary bike. I do suggest getting the OK from your doctor!

Hey, umm in my opinion you should eat everything that is home cooked and nothing from a packet and to eat everything in moderation. Make sure to never skip a meal and only eat when you're genuinely hungry and not you perceive that it's lunch time and so on, if you feel peckish between meals try having fruit but also in moderation and drink A LOT of water this curbs your appetite. Lastly get a gym buddy and go to the gym as often as you can for an hour or two or however much you can do, this will not only burn lots of calories but you will also feel guilty if you go to eat unhealthy foods and so you won't eat them :) hope this helps.
