Lose Fat Fast With Proper Exercise
So you want to know how to lose weight fast? Would you have an epiphany if I told you that you had to diet and exercise? I didn’t think so. I’m sure that you have heard that too many times with a lot of vagueness. No one seems to know how to exercise to lose fat (notice I didn’t say weight) and retain muscle. No one except the ones who are tired of getting pestered daily with exercise questions. So listen up, take note and get ready to lose weight fast.
Perhaps one of the most important concepts to realize about losing fat is that your metabolism is a powerful tool. This determines how many calories that your body burns throughout the day without additional exercise. You can imagine how important that it is to know how to speed up your metabolism. This is what exercise does, but not all exercise speeds up the metabolism in the same way. Some, such as long, moderate jogging will speed it up during exercise. However, there are other ones that can only require 15 minutes to speed up your metabolism throughout the rest of the day.
So, what exactly do you need to do to have these results? It’s called High Intensity Interval Training. Basically what you will do is perform a physical activity, such as sprinting in this example, and do it at 90-95% of your max heart rate. Do this for about 15-20 seconds and then slow your pace for a minute. Then do it again. Do about 15 total short sprints, cool down, stretch and walk away you are done.
That’s not so bad is it? Try it, you will see why so many people will avoid doing this. It is hard, you will have to push yourself, but you will get in the shape that you want fast. In fact, a study at Laval University showed that this training method made their trainees lose 9x more fat than those who did traditional cardio (20-60 minutes of moderate cardio). You can even combine this method with weight training to super-turbo charge your metabolism!
Remember, when you are going to exercise to lose weight, perform HIIT (high intensity interval training). You will burn more total calories and even boost your growth hormone levels (ever wonder why sprinters are so buff compared to marathon runners? They both run.). Most importantly, your metabolism will be elevated throughout the rest of the day.
