As concluded by several studies, performing low impact exercises, like walking, actually burns more calories from fat than vigorous and strenuous workouts. For those who would like to lose weight and burn fat without putting pressure on their joints, this is wonderful news. Walking suits most people without requiring expensive equipment or facilities.
You can begin a walking routine by walking for 10 to 20 minutes every day. Start out at a comfortable pace, and gradually increase your speed a little each day. Stay within a reasonable amount of exertion. You are going too fast for your level of fitness if you are unable to talk normally while walking. If you can’t do this, then reduce your speed slightly until you are able to gradually able to build more strength. Also, adding light hand held weights can help you see even more results from your walking exercise. Doing this well help you gain muscle while burning additional fat and calories.
Dance Away Fat
Dance is gaining popularity as a fun way to burn fat and tone the body. Dancing is so enjoyable in itself that one forgets it s deliberate exercise. In only a half hour, a person who weighs 150 pounds can burn 103 to 189 calories while ballroom dancing, while doing ballet or aerobic dancing will allow him/her to burn over 200 calories.
Alright, so we know that dance burns calories and fat, but why does it do the job so well? The fat burning aerobic and anaerobic systems of the body are both switched on when dancing due to its incorporation of fast and slow movements. The anaerobic system, which uses energy stored in the muscles, can be started by the fast paced dance steps. The aerobic system is started by the slower dance steps this transforms the body s stored carbohydrates into energy. Thus this exercise not only burns fat and calories, but also builds muscle to accelerate the burning of fat!
Jogging for Less Jiggle
Another effective fat burning exercise is jogging.
Only a half hour of jogging can burn 238 calories for a 150 pound person. Jogging can be made even more effective by taking advantage of the aerobic and anaerobic system mentioned previously. Begin by putting in two minutes of moderate walking. Proceed to a two minute jog. Alternate one, then the other, for a half hour. Alternating levels of exercise incorporates aerobic and anaerobic body responses into the session, giving a better workout for burning fat.
Muscling in on Fat
As previously mentioned, building muscle assists in burning fat. This burns more calories because muscle increases the metabolism. Lifting weights is the best way to build muscle.
It is usually best to begin by using a lightweight barbell, such as one only weighing 5 pounds. Try it out by lifting the dumbbell for ten repetitions. If you find that it is easy to do 10, try using a heavier weight. If you re not ready for ten yet, try a lighter weight. You should vary your exercise routine every other day by alternating one of the fat burning exercises mentioned previously with the weightlifting routine.
You will be losing pounds like never before when you pick the fat burning exercise that works best for you.
