In this week's Podcast Episode #23, I host a roundtable with personal trainers Mark Cavallaro and Jolene Wilkinson. During this episode, we talk about very practical and easy ways to maintain fat loss and fitness during the holidays and Thanksgiving. If you're trying to lose fat or get fitter during the holiday season, you won't want to miss this episode, which includes:

-The top five fattiest foods and perfect substitutions

-Smart strategies straight from top trainers at Pacific Elite Fitness

 -How to make food less likely to get stored as fat 

 -Tricks for staying motivated to exercise 

 -Ways to make "Holes in Your Calendar" for fitness

Also included in this podcast is an answer to the following listener question:

I listened to podcast #21 where you gave your 1-2-3 secret to fast fat burning and basically, you advocated 20-30 min @ 60% MHR an on empty stomach.  My question is that I work out 5x a week at an hour each morning - 2-3 times full body weight training and 2-3 times high intensity cardio at 85-95% HR or interval training. To increase my fat burning potential, how do I use this slower, steady cardio technique?  Should I continue with my current workout program and then tack on an extra 30 min of steady cardio?

Thanks always, 

Tina
