How to Burn Fat Fast
Most people realize by now, that working out to add lean muscle mass to your body increases not only your metabolism, but also you will have an increase in fat loss and you will become a fat burning machine. When you live your life in a very healthy way you will enjoy many other benefits. For this Fat Burning Machine guide we are going to look at how you can use intensity, volume and frequency and progression to lose weight and keep it off forever.
Of all the people I see working at the gym performing weight training or resistance training most are spending too much time with the exercise and not working hard enough. They will burn very little fat with this low intensity workout.
The key elements to train for lean muscle and strength is the proper application of three vital elements.
The secret I’ve found is that training for lean muscle and strength requires the proper application of three vital elements that are often overlooked by those who try it. These three elements are:
1. Intensity
2. Volume & Frequency
3. Progression
The intensity is how hard it is to perform for you, given your current physical condition.How much weight you use and how often you do the exercise is called volume and frequency. The progression is related to how much the demands increase from workout to workout. With these 3 key elements you will develop into a fat burning machine. The Fat Burning Machine system will take you from beginning to lose weight to learning how to keep the weight off permanently.
It is very important that you do not workout for too long or schedule your workouts for too many times per week.
Two entirely different forms of exercise are fat burning aerobic and anaerobic exercise. They are really the total opposite.
Aerobic exercise typically is characterized by low to moderate intensity, high volume and frequency, and little progression. Anaerobic exercise, or weight training, must be performed at a high intensity, lower volume and lower frequency, and with progression to be as effective as possible. The one sure way to become a fat burning machine is through an anaerobic exercise.
Performing weight training at a low or moderate rate of intensity will not give you significant muscle or strength building beyond a few weeks.
The goal is simply the combination of sufficient intensity, coupled with increasing either the number of repetitions of a weight training exercise or the amount of weight used each and every workout. These three steps will continue your bodies development into a fat burning machine!
You will want to maximize your workout and minimize the time you spend in the gym when your are creating an effective and efficient exercise routine and remember the other details. Why? Because perhaps even more important that the workout itself is the rest period that follows.If you want to get stronger or increase your muscles you need to get enough rest and sufficient sleep.
When you strength train in the proper way you are creating small injuries to your muscles. Then you need to allow the body renew itself, and your body will overcompensate and add on the existing amount of muscle mass that you already have.
If you workout again before that process is completed, you’ll experience lackluster results, if any, muscle building or fat burning results. You will also be overworking your muscles to the point where they will not respond to your workout.
So make sure to get proper rest between workouts, which typically means a minimum of 1 to 3 full days of rest between properly executed resistance workouts.
Now upon hearing the idea that you’ve got to add muscle to your body to ensure that you will become the maximum fat burning machine, a lot of people, women especially, start thinking, “But I don’t want to get bigger, I want to lose weight!”
But this is such a shame, because it’s very unlikely to happen, and countless women are losing out on these fat burning benefits because of it.
You see, most men and almost all women simply lack the necessary genetic traits required to produce such muscle gains that would cause them to look bulky or overly developed to most people. Muscle fiber makeup, muscle belly length, testosterone levels are some of these traits.
Those competitive bodybuilders you’ve seen on TV and in the magazines are the genetic cream of the crop for muscle development and they are typically on heavy doses of anabolic steroids, growth hormone, and other bodybuilding drugs.
Don’t be fooled by these images, or those that scare you into thinking this way. Did you know that lean muscle takes up less space on your body and is more compact than fat, and because of this you will in actuality be getting smaller.
Whoever you are, if you want to be in the best position to succeed with you fat loss and also your fitness goals you will perform properly conducted intense resistance training.
But make sure you understand and apply the three critical Fat Burning Machine principles I discussed above.
Here they are again: Intensity, Volume and Frequency and Progression.
If you do not apply these three elements your ability to burn fat and get the lean, strong, and healthy body you deserve eventually will leave you unhappy with your results.
