The Ultimate Lose-Fat Program


---------------------------


You have heard for years and years that the most powerful way to lose fat is to spend long, tedious hours walking on a treadmill or riding a bike.


I am here to tell you that it is not accurate!


It is a reality that during any physical exercise activity, the body is "burning" both carbohydrates and fat for energy. It is also a reality that the greater the intensity of an physical exercise, you burn alot more carbohydrates and less fat.


So, the obvious answer looks like you will need to exercise at a lower intensity to burn much more fat.


Here is the predicament with that: Despite the fact that you will burn even more fat per calorie with lower intensity physical exercise, you will burn a greater total number of calories with greater intensity exercise which will, in turn, create far more total fat being burned for the whole physical exercise session.


Studies have also shown that "interval training" is the most efficient program for fat loss. The reason for this, simply stated, is that you will burn calories for a longer period of time just after the interval workout (some studies show up to 12 hours), compared to about 15 minutes following a lengthy, slow duration physical exercise session.


What is interval training?


Interval training is doing a portion of an physical exercise at a high intensity, followed by a longer period of a pretty low intensity, or the "rest period". To use running as an example: an interval program with would begin off with a five minute warm-up, followed by a really fast run/sprint for five-10 seconds (depending on your current level of conditioning). You would then slow down to a especially slow jog to get the heart rate down for about 1-4 minutes (depending on what you really feel you need to have).


This would be repeated anyplace from five rounds, to a 30 minutes total workout!


The object is to, over a period of time, increase the amount of high intensity work, and decrease the amount of rest in among., until you have reached a 1:3 ratio of high intensity to low intensity work. (example: 10 second sprint: 30 second rest)


This technique of training is undoubtedly a harder workout, but the benefits will be properly worth it! Don't commence your initial workout at 100% of your maximal effort for your high intensity portion. Test the waters a small to see where you are finest suited to get started.


This can also be performed on a stationary bike, a treadmill, with a jump rope (jump for 10 seconds, jog for a minute or 2), stairs, on the other hand!! Get creative! Find a way that is enjoyable for you!!


*As with any physical exercise program, consult a physician before beginning an physical exercise program, or if you have any questions concerning what exercises might be best for you!
