Want to know the best exercises to
burn fat quickly
and to keep the weight of? Read this article to
discover how.
Most of us have struggled with
weight problems at one point in our lives. One of
the biggest problems is the bad information and
dated weight loss methods.
Most of us still believe in eating a bit less and
doing some steady state cardio. This doesn't work,
statistics don't lie and people in the world are
heavier than ever.
Thankfully there are more advanced methods of
losing weight now, which revolved around boosting
your metabolism. We can boost our metabolisms with
the use of hormone manipulation, EPOC (Excess
Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption) and building
muscle mass.
Without going into to much detail: hormones burn
fat; EPOC increases your metabolism even after
you've finished exercising; The more muscle you have
the more your body needs to maintain those muscles.
In short you elevate metabolism above your normal
level and start to burn fat quickly.
To get all the benefits listed above the best way
to do this is with a combination of high intensity
weight training and high intensity interval
training.
The best exercises to perform on the high
intensity weight training session could be as
follows:
Squat
Bent-over row
Bench
Deadlift
Lateral pulldown
Shoulder press
The exercises listed above should be done in a
circuit style of training, were you perform around
10-12 reps of the first exercise. Move onto the next
one with only enough rest to move to each new
exercise. Perform all six exercises and rest for
around 2-3 minutes then perform another circuit in
the same fashion and do a total of 3 circuits.
The High Intensity Interval Training can also be
utilised to boost your metabolism further.
To do this pick one of your favourite cardio
exercises like the stationary bike, cross-trainer or
jogging. Then warm up for 5 mins at a very gentle
pace. After warm sprint at 80% of your maximum
effort for one minute then coast at a very gentle
speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Do this for a total of 6-8
sprinted intervals.
You can of course play around with the intervals
(for example 30 second sprints and 45 seconds active
recovery). Basically mix your intervals around so
that your body doesn't adapt to one specific
training stimulus.
These are among the best exercises to burn fat
quickly, give it a try and hopefully you will start
to get the results you deserve.
