First comes the decision to lose weight. Soon after that, you learn that fat loss will not occur without exercise. You now have to research the various exercise options available to you. Now you will have reached the point where “the rubber meets the road” – you must select your exercise regimen and do it.
To achieve fat and weight loss, you will also need to change your diet.
Experts agree that fat burning exercise has a bigger impact on fat loss and weight loss than diet. This is because when you do regular exercise, you increase your metabolism. An increase in your metabolism will result in more fat burning for you thoughout every day. But you must also address your diet, if fat loss is your goal.
How Do You Define Fat Burning Exercise?
When you exert yourself physically to a certain level, for a certain period of time, you are doing exercise that will burn fat. What is exertion for one person is not exertion for another. The rate of the activity you choose to do will need to be greater, the fitter you are. There are formulas to help you to determine the correct exertion level for you. But, these formulas can be complex. A simple rule of thumb to guide you on this is the following
- Are you somewhat out of breath from the activity (not gasping for air)?
- When you feel the back of your neck and small of your back, is there some sweat?
- While you are doing your exercise, are you able to carry on a conversation with someone?
You likely will lose fat, if you adhere to these 3 points, when you exercise. You will find that the more you exercise, the fitter you will become. As you increase your level of fitness, to burn fat you will have to increase the rate of the exercise you do.
What Are The Different Types Of Fat Burning Exercise?
You can categorize the various forms of exercise as aerobic or anaerobic. Sometimes aerobic exercise is referred to as cardio vascular exercise. It requires oxygen for energy; anaerobic does not.
Your body uses fat for energy when you do aerobic exercise. During anaerobic exercise, fat is not the energy source for your body. When you exercise anaerobically, your body uses carbohydrates for energy.
Some examples of aerobic exercise are jogging, brisk walking, swimming and bike riding. Examples of anaerobic exercise are strength and resistance training or running a 100 meter or 200 meter race etc. When you play a game of tennis, it can be aerobic and anaerobic. You will be exerting yourself completely for a period of time. When you are doing that, it is anaerobic. It is aerobic, when you are not exerting yourself as much.
To rid your body of unwanted excess fat, you will need to do a minimum of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily. To burn more fat more quickly, you can do 45 minutes at a time or 30 minutes twice during the day.
If you want to burn more fat, you can do strength training, which is anaerobic exercise. It results in increased muscle mass, which burns fat faster. Your metabolic rate will increase as you add muscle mass. A higher metabolism means more fat burning every day, even when you are inactive. But, you need to know that fat burning doesnt happen during anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is fat burning exercise.
Is Fat Loss What You Really Want?
You really do not have a choice about whether or not to exercise; you must exercise for fat loss to occur. If you dont, you will not achieve your fat loss and weight management objectives. You will need to change your mindset about using your body increasingly for the rest of your life.
Walk up stairs whenever you can , instead of using the escalator. Try parking your car further from your destination and give yourself a longer walk to where you are going. Each day, you can walk your dog on an extra walk. You can begin to increase your metabolism by finding things to do, that you dont usually do, and doing them.
Now you are at the point when you must make your decision on your exercise regimen and make a start on it.
What Exercise Routine Will You Do?
There is a lot to know before deciding upon the best exercise regimen to burn fat for you. Noone can tell you that a particular exercise program is good or bad. However, there is a regimen that would be effective for you and that works best for you.
The key is to choose the right one for you. Getting this wrong will impede your progress and will result in upset and frustration for you. It could even lead you to abandoning your weight loss efforts.
Do you think that you are going to follow an aerobic exercise regimen or an anaerobic one? Or will both be a part of your exercise program? Are all types of aerobic exercise equally efficent when it comes to burning fat?
You will find answers to these questions and others that you may still have at the Fat Burning Exercise website.
