About Fat Burning Exercises

Fat Loss and Weight Loss

Fat burning exercises are just those slow, long duration types of cardio exercises that involve your major muscle groups.

Period.

And are these exercises and weight loss exercises the same?

A while ago, I thought there was a difference.

But now, I think there's no difference.

You see, if I do fat burning exercises, I'll burn fat and lose weight.

And if I do weight loss exercises, I'll burn off calories and lose weight also.

The magic?

Ta-da-da!

Both exercises help me to burn fat and LOSE WEIGHT.

In order not to confuse you, now I'll interchangeably use fat burning exercises and weight loss exercises here, since the 2 mean the same stuff.

OK. What Exercises are Considered as Fat Burning Exercises?

Well, I've told you - cardio exercises.

These are the slow, long duration types of exercises that get most of your major muscle groups working.

And the more muscle groups you use, the more fat you'll burn.

The best examples:

These fat burning exercises rev up your rate of metabolism, and you'll continue to burn calories long after you've finished exercising.

And if you do these exercises regularly, you'll develop more fat burning enzymes than someone who doesn't exercise at all.

By doing just 20 - 30 minutes of these fat burning exercises, you'll get those fat burning enzymes working.

Swell, huh?

Won't you want to exercise now?

In Fat Burning Exercises, how does your Body Burn Fat?

Your body burns a higher percentage of calories from fat when you're involved in lower intensity cardio exercises.

BUT, if you do the exercises at higher intensities, you burn a greater number of overall calories, which is what you should aim for when trying to lose weight.

My take is that for you to burn fat effectively, it's good for you to exercise at your "fat burning zone".

This coincides with your safest target heart rate which is 60% -80% of your maximum heart rate .

The sustained pace and duration is good for endurance since you can exercise for a longer period of time than if you're working at a higher intensity.

It's also the key to burning off more of your fat.

Consistent exercising is the WAY to burning off your fat in your body, continuously.

So if you're a beginner, start off with 3 days of cardio exercise for 20 minutes or so per week, then increase your time each week.

If you're an intermediate or advanced exerciser, you can cardio anywhere from 4 to 6 days a week, but vary your time, intensity and activity in each workout.

Fat Burning Exercises that add more Muscles to Burn off even more Fat

The fastest way to burn off your body fat is to have more muscle because the more muscles you've, the faster you burn fat.

The best way to add muscle is to do toning and strength training exercises, in addition to cardio exercises.

These 2 exercises are known for performing high and fast fat-burning jobs.

Not convinced?

Try them out.

You'll be pleased how much fat you can burn.

This is because these exercises help you to build muscles and muscles burn off fat faster.

Combine Smartly your Fat Burning Exercises with a Healthy Diet

I loathe repeating.....

But can't help myself....

Exercise alone isn't enough to get you burn off fat effectively.

You should eat smartly as well by incorporating a healthy diet into your meal plans .

It's worth repeating this because a smart combination of exercise and healthy diet will see your fat-burning effort and therefore your goal to lose weight, so much more effective, which will let you see weight loss results faster....

While we're on this subject, I want to share with you that limit your salt intake helps to reduce your fat.

Excessive salt intake combines with fat can cause your body to retain water which in turn causes weight gain and body fat.

So watch out for the salt levels in the seasonings you cook with - they can be well hidden and sneak up on you.

Another one to watch out for is not to eat at least 2 hours before your bedtime. Eating anything before your bedtime means you'll be carrying that as fat when you sleep.

For sure, you're going to have a "fat" sleep.

Ugly, right?

Also be smart when you eat.

How?

Eat the right fats.

Limit your fat consumption so that fat comprises about 25% of your daily caloric intake (within current recommendation that says that you're to eat not more than 30% of total calories from fat).

What fats are right fats?

Polyunsaturated fat - found in vegetable oils such as safflower, corn, sunflower, soy and cottonseed oils.

One particular type of polyunsaturated fat (i.e. omega-3 fatty acids) sourced from fish, particularly fatty, cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, is good for you as it decreases your risk of heart attack, protects you against irregular heartbeats and lowers your blood pressure levels.

Monounsaturated fat - found in olive, peanut and canola oils, avocados and most nuts.

Some Fat Facts

We're eager to know about fat burning exercises and their capacities to burn fat.

And that's perfectly all right.

But do you know "things" about fat?

No?

Hmmm.....Then it's time to get to know how fat behaves in your body so you know what you can or can't do with it.......

Ready?

Cells in your muscles burn calories faster than cells in your fat. So, the more muscles you've, the more calories you'll burn

Cardio exercises boost your fat burning for up to an hour after you stop the exercises

10% of the calories you burn daily is for processing the nutrients in food you've consumed

Fat molecules slow your digestion, giving you a constant energy supply. This means you're less likely to feel hungry between meals

When you deprive your body of essential fat, it responds by slowing down your metabolism to conserve energy

Some exercises (e.g. tennis, basketball, sprinting, golf and racquetball) will burn off more of your sugar than your fat as the brief spurts of movements followed by rests in these exercises result in more sugar being burned for energy instead of fat
