Which IS the best weight loss system that will deliver results quickly?
When it comes to the training side of things, a combination of weight training and intense cardio is the best weight loss system you could possibly use.
High intensity, short duration cardio is actually the best because it helps your body burn fat even after you stop exercising. Such intense workouts "spike" your metabolism, and your body is able to burn more fat throughout the day, even at rest. Traditional slow-paced cardio does not provide the same benefits.
High intensity cardio workouts also take up much less of your time. So, is it easier to work in 15 minutes or 45 minutes of cardio exercise?
While most people believe that more is better, longer cardio workouts can actually be harmful as they carry a greater risk of injury and waste away lean muscle mass. Losing lean muscle tissue is bad because muscle burns calories even while you are resting.
Taking this into account, high intensity/low duration sessions are the best weight loss system you can implement when it comes to the cardio side of things. It's best to cram as much intensity as possible into your 10 to 20-minute sessions.
The next activity you will want to implement is a good solid weight training regimen.
Weight training stimulates the growth of lean muscle tissue and helps to maintain it, which is why it is so important. Muscle is a metabolically active tissue, which means that it forces your body to burn additional calories even while you are at rest. In other words, more muscle mass translates into a higher metabolic rate.
The bottom line is that the best weight loss system is formed by combining high intensity cardio and weight training.
It's best to combine your cardio sessions with your weight training, preferably adding your intense cardio at the end. If you want, you can also perform extra cardio sessions on your off days from the gym. Depending on your goals, you can choose a routine that involves three days of weight training and high intensity cardio, with an intense cardio-only session on the fourth day.
Beginners should start with the basic three combined weight training sessions, followed by a high intensity cardio workout at the end of each session. As your body accustoms itself to exercise, you can add additional high intensity cardio sessions to the system.
Heed your body's signals that will tell you if you are pushing too hard.Your body will tell you if you're pushing too hard, so it's important to pay attention to it. If you feel rather tired or run down after your workout sessions, you should probably scale back. If you can add an additional cardio workout with no appreciable negative effects, then you should be able to increase your fat loss.
