Best Fat Burning Exercise

fat loss – your gain – weigh the odds

Fat loss doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive, like those diet programs, and those high-priced equipment purchases, or those gym costs, not to mention all those hours spent. It can be done at home, in your private corner, at your leisure, when you have the time to devote. And you can start with no equipment, or just a couple of dumbells if you want. And following a little advice on eating habits helps too. What are the best and what are the worst foods. Fat loss or gain, you make up your mind.

Some people do cardio exercises for more than six hours a week. Some of them still have fat to burn, and others make some progress. However, in a study done by British researchers on thirty- five overweight men and women the fat loss results were quite surprising. After exercising five times a week for twelve weeks they lost an average of 8.2 pounds. But damn, that’s a lot of exercise! And the best subject lost over thirty-two pounds, but the worst actually had a gain of almost four pounds. The reason was that some of the participants got hungrier after the workouts and the increase in appetite wiped out the effects from the exercises.

Few people ever lose as much as 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio workouts. And few even lose 8 pounds with aerobic exercises. Some curse, huh? So what you should do to beat this curse is use high-intensity turbulence training. Bodyweight exercises combined with dumbell exercises for fast fat loss in as little as three times a week – 45 minute sessions for the experienced. For beginners you start out with introductory exercises to work your way up to the high-intensity ones. And you can choose between exercises designed for women and those for men who desire more muscle gain.

5 Fat Loss Mistakes Made Every Day

Uh-oh, Five Fat Loss Mistakes

Straight to it. Here are five of the biggest fat loss mess-ups that
I see men and women doing everyday…fix these, and you’ll lose fat.

1) Not having back up.

Trying to lose fat without social support is the wrong way to go
about this. Ideally, you’d have your doctor, an RD, a trainer, your workout partner, your spouse, your workmates, and your friends all behind you. Research shows that you’ll benefit most from a health professional (i.e. a trainer) and a workout partner that is also successful. Get those two people on your team first, and then work on the rest of the group.

2) Not using a structured program

If you ever go into the gym and wonder what you are going to do first, you’re already wasting your time – even before you choose. Get a plan, know what you have to do, stick to it, and see it through. That way, no wasted time wandering around the gym deciding where to start.

3) Not changing your workout after 4 weeks.

That’s the longest you should go on one program. If it’s been
6-months, give your head a shake. If it hasn’t worked yet, why do you think it’s magically going to start now. Change it up
frequently. You’ll get more results and you’ll have more fun.

4) Not realizing your results will come from nutrition more than
they will from training.

You want to lose fat? You have to eat right for fat loss. You can’t
train like an animal and then eat junk and expect to lose fat. No
program is that good. None. Diet beats training everytime, like
scissors beats paper. Eat whole, natural foods in 6 smaller meals
each day. Get lots of fiber, lots of protein, lots of vegetables.
Eat healthy fats, avoid trans fats. Drink lots of water and tea. So
simple, so effective. Eat for energy, not for gluttony.

5) Not knowing when to quit.

I get emails everyday from readers asking if they can add even more cardio and more lifting to their current workout plans. After all, if some is good, more training must be better?

Listen, you have to draw the line somewhere. You can’t keep adding more and more exercise. First, there is diminishing returns from each additional set you do, and from extra cardio. Second, your body can breakdown fast from too much work, particularly when you are dieting. Overtraining and low calories go together like oil and water. Neither of these combos will make your engine run optimally.

And finally, focus on quality over quantity. The “volume approach to fat loss” from the 1980′s (characterized by lots of cardio and lots of carbs) didn’t work. For good reason. Stick to high quality nutrition, and high-quality training.

The only thing that matters is results. Not muscle soreness, not
feeling exhausted after each workout, and not feeling deprived of food.

Quality work and quality food for a better body.
