Exercise & Training
The accepted way to lose fat is by cardio(cardiovascular) exercising, but you need to exercise for a minimum of 240 minutes to lose a significant amount of weight, whether it be swimming, running, dancing, cycling or hiking the popular exercise to burn calories.
Short bursts or interval training done during two to three workouts each week, with high intensity for two minutes, then the same period at a more moderate pace. Not only will this improve your fitness levels, but it will increase your body’s fat burning capability.
As your body loses weight and you become fitter, repetitions of an exercise are doable, so with weights ad 5% to 10% additional weight and extra sets. To work your body change from dumbbells to machines and vice-versa, while trying different moves to achieve further results.
With weight loss, it’s not so much the food you eat, it’s the calories you burn rather than the intake of calories.
Even though you may be using more fat as energy, this doesn’t mean you are burning more calories. Although low intensity exercise is more comfortable to work with, it will not burn more fat off your body, unless you happen to be burning more calories off than you are eating.
This is why your exercise will benefit your fat burn off if it is high intensity or short bursts coupled with interval training. Twenty minutes at high intensity is usually enough for most people or interval training of hard exercise, such as running for up to 60 seconds then walking for 2 minutes, in segments will build up this beneficial exercise.
What is popular is moderate intensity training which makes a more consistant workout.
This modest movement can improve your fitness and give you better health and lower the risk of high blood pressure and the chance of heart disease and diabetes.
So, the more intense the excersise the more calories you should burn, but for those who don’t care to go for a run or down the Gym or even swimming, how about a workout in the garden, as gardening at a pace can work.
