As a member of a popular fitness club, I noticed countless others disappointed with their fat burning exercise routines and eating practices, working hard and long but with virtually no improvement.

Several of my own friends and relatives would mention this new plan or product they had just shelled out cash for that was the answer to their fat loss or fitness goals. They were so emotional about it they couldn't wait to get started.

Then, in a few weeks, the same happy-go-lucky people that were once jumping with joy about their new plan to burn fat and get a new body became downright discouraged. It was hard to watch.

I'd ask them how their fat burning plan was working and they'd tell me that it seemed pretty good at first, but they didn't get the results they were expecting or they felt were promised. They quickly became tired of following the daily workouts and found following the strict eating guidelines almost maddening at times. So they hopped onto the next plan.

Even worse, they became so frustrated with following these so-called exercise gurus' programs, that they fell even deeper into unhealthy eating habits once they stopped the program. Binging became their only form of satisfaction. Talk about moving in the wrong direction.

What's worse is that all of these people were following the typically recommended exercise and fad diets that were all the rage. They were doing what everyone else was doing to burn fat fast.

After speaking with many of these friends and inquiring about their exercise routines, I noticed one common theme that kept popping up in our discussions...they were focused on the short term...their approach was wrong. They weren't thinking of lifelong health and fitness, but instead they were thinking about burning fat and getting in shape for 'swimsuit season'.

More specifically, they were also performing their exercise in a less than champion manner. And then I noticed this with many others at the fitness club where I worked out. They just appeared to miss the fire or intensity in their fat burning exercises which I knew could turn their programs from nothing to something literally overnight.

But you know, you can hardly blame them, and you certainly shouldn't blame yourself if you've fallen into the cycle of fad exercise and diet programs. We all want to achieve what we know in our hearts we're capable of so badly, and that's why we're such easy prey to this 'get fit quick' mentality.

Most people are approaching health and fitness in the exact opposite way that they should be, and they're not going to burn fat because of it. If you continually think of using exercise and nutrition as ways to lose a couple of pounds, or get in shape for summer, you're going to be disappointed with your results.

If you think of exercise, nutrition, and rest as separate things, you're going to be disappointed with your fat burning and fitness results. If you think you need to spend hours a week in the gym or adhere to some strange unnatural eating strategy, you're going to be disappointed with your results.

What all of these approaches will do, is put you into the fat burning and fitness cycle of confusion that so many are stuck in these days. If instead, you choose to forget what you thought you knew, and start off with the right approach, the approach that focuses on making changes in your lifestyle long term, you'll instantly improve your results by 1000%.

When your plan of attack includes combining unique exercise (that takes very little of your time), nutrition the way nature meant you to eat that is simple to understand and follow, and the rest and recovery that is vital to lifelong vitality and energy, you'll experience an awakening of both body and mind. Plus you'll burn more fat, too.

If you choose the path most often taken by those looking to improve upon them selves, you'll most likely end up like most of them. Confused, frustrated, unhappy, burnt out, injured, sick, or worse. Did I mention very uhappy with their fat burning progress as well?

Instead, you can choose to embrace a lifestyle that includes brief, progressive, and intense resistance training, eating a diet full of nutrient rich foods, drinking tons of water, and getting plenty of quality sleep and rest. But know that when you do so, you'll be joining the select few who understand the one true secret to life long fat burning and fitness is not found on a fad diet or in a bottle on the shelf of your local food health store.
