The Gauranteed Way To Burn Fat
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009I once asked a gym instructor at my local gym what’s the fastest way to burn fat in my body, he said “go on the treadmill”. Well i did hit the treadmill, but it took longer than usual to burn the fat. He failed to tell me that by combining such cardio exercise with strength building exercise for muscle building, that i would burn fat faster. This case isn’t new. People have often been mislead to think cardio on its own is the fastest way to burn fat. However, studies have shown that people who build muscles from strenth exercise burn fat faster even while at rest. This is because muscles increases metabolic rate thus burning fat.The good part is that more people today more informed than before and are doing more strength building exercise.
According to a study by the Fitness Products Council and Sporting Goods Manufacturers, the number of people lifting free weights has increased 76 percent in the past decade. Right now, weight lifting is among the most popular sports in North America. This change is for the best because cardiovascular activity combined with weight training will result in much more effective fat loss. Cardiovascular exercises will raise muscle metabolism during the activity and for a short time after the exercise session.
Weight lifting exercises, on the other hand, will raise your muscle metabolism during the exercise session, and for a long time after the exercise session. Some high intensity trainers have even seen their metabolism rise for several days following their training session.
Performing adequate weight training exercises should limit your repetitions anywhere from 1 to 20 (more or less). Such resistance on muscles will make their tissue leaner and stronger. The muscle development will take place during the rest period following the resistance training. Therefore sufficient rest periods are essential.
Its imperative to understand what happens behind the scenes of your muscle during your muscle building activity. The first thing that happens is that your muscle does some adjusting. On a microscopic level the tissues separates from the stress, while in this stress it recuperates to become stronger to enable it support the extra stress. Speaking about recuperation, it take as long as a day or two for this recuperation to occur just after your workout.
During the recuperation period, the muscle metabolism is still burning energy, and that’s when it’s time to perform cardiovascular activities. Carrying out high repetitions of the same movement will tire the body on a different basis. Combining low repetition exercises (weight lifting) with high repetition cardiovascular exercise will stress muscles in a complementary way to increase the total fat burning effect.
If in doubt wether muscle building workouts don’t burn fat, then take a look at sports men and women who perform high short intense energy busting sports. Check out their body and see how low in fat they carry. Try doing push up or any muscle workout and see if your heart doesn’t race.
The point is to combine a weight lifting routine with a good cardiovascular workout to increase muscle metabolism and total fat burning ratio.
