Fit Tip – Count Your “Negatives” For Increased Fat Loss

June 12, 2009 by Adria Ali 3 Comments

woman-doing-pull-ups

      It’s a well known fact  that doing exercise quickly is a big “no, no.”  Muscle gain, calorie burning, and soreness all come from the negative action of the exercise.  The “Negative” is anytime you are working WITH gravity.  An example would be a pull-up, the down motion is your negative.  To enhance this movement you would do a count of 4 on the down motion. 

      Weight training is always good for you, but doing it the proper way can make the difference between ripped and “healthy fat.”  Make your workouts count by couting your negatives!

    I tried to take it slowly, but sometimes i just want to get through the workouts and find myself speeding up..but then i remembered you had told me before and written about it, to slow down and count it out..saying it's the time or the length of time you exercise that counts and not necessary the amount reps...is that correct??
