Fat Burning Weight Loss Workouts

Posted: August 11, 2012 at 11:10 pm

A fat burning weight loss workout that works must: 1. Burn Maximum Calories AND FAT - There is no benefit to calories burned without fat burning and there are soooo many workouts out there that only focus on the calorie burn without ever getting you into the real fat burning zone. Contrary to what you may have heard the fat burning zone isn't some magical place achieved by training at a certain heart rate. It's achieved with intense intervals and short recovery periods that force your body to start using fat as fuel so be sure to HIIT it often if you want to burn more fat. HIIT stands for intensity interval training and burns 9 times more fat than traditional workouts.

2. Be Challenging Yet Scalable - "If the system fails when a quantity increases, it does not scale" Not exactly sure who wrote that but it's true for any system including your body which may be the most intricate system ever. A great weight loss workout should include smart progressions and regressions so that you can train with enough intensity to get results. This means progression on movement patterns your body can handle but regression on exercises that expose your weaknesses. Check out the workout video here to see how easy this is to do.

3. Boost Vitality Not Deplete You - Have you noticed that the hardcore workout mentality is still going strong? It's hard not to want to join these hardcore workout cults but the truth is you don't need to "kill it" or "show up and throw up" or "feel the pain or no gain" to get results. An effective weight loss workout that gets results should not deplete you. It should be challenging but should also improve your body not harm it. Try to remember that exercise is a type of stress that you are imposing on your body in order to increase fitness levels as well as health. There is good stress also known as eustress and bad stress also known as distress and you don't need the later to lose weight and fat. In fact distressing your system will only get the opposite result.
