Because you want to lose the fat it is important to know that there are certain activities that will burn fat faster than other methods. These additional methods can help you strip off the belly fat, lose more of the weight you want or give you a quick way to lose fat overall.
One method for fat loss is called Interval Cardio Training. This may sound a bit scary at first but when you know more about it you will understand that it is a way to lose weight and may be the fastest way to lose weight. This method of weight loss is one where you use both high intensity and low intensity exercises in your workout.
The way it works is this: You do a series of short exercise spurts at certain intensity for a certain amount of time. You do the exercise in an intense fashion, and then separate the interval with a short rest. You then perform a second set of the higher intensity exercise and repeat the cycle again. You can use a lighter activity between the intervals, but many people say the best way is to give yourself a short rest period.
There are no rules about how intense the workout should be or how short the rest period so you should actually check your body to see how it feels. We can tell you that as you build up to this, changing either the intensity or the interval length will change the way your body responds to exercise overall and how it works.
There are many exercises you can use to work on specific areas of the body. Some of the most popular are those that support the loss of belly fat. In order to do this, most trainers suggest the following as the way to lose belly fat quickly:
* Eat a nutritional diet -- this gives the entire body the energy you need to perform intense exercise. The food should be clean and lean - fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. It should also cut out red meat and fast food.
* Strength training - you should work on increasing the amount of muscle in your body because muscle burns belly fat.
* Interval cardio training-- now is the time to start your workouts on this because you have built your body enough to take this added intensity.
* Combine it with resistance training -- resistance training can speed up your weight loss when it is combined with interval cardio training because you can work specific muscle groups. This will strengthen them and also sculpt them to your liking.
One good way to start your interval cardio training is to use a machine at the gym or at home. You get on the machine, work out at a high intensity for 30 seconds, then recover for 60-90 seconds at a lower intensity and slower pace, then repeat. You are not limited in the types of cardio you can do this way - try jogging, swimming or rowing. Once you are finished with this workout be sure to do some stretching for any tight muscle groups; only do those that are tight. Putting this all together will give you the best workout and make sure that you have the quick fat loss you want.
Fat Loss Interval Training
Long, slow cardio burns more calories during training, but interval training burns more calories overall (during and after training), because it makes you burn calories between training sessions since your body must recover from the intense bout. It's "hard" on your body. Winner: interval training.
Long, slow cardio won't help you gain muscle mass. On the other hand, interval training makes you gain muscle mass, because to sprint or bike like crazy you need to push on the pedal really hard. This builds muscle (think of a sprinter). Since the more muscle you have, the higher is your resting metabolic rate, interval training makes you burn more calories all day, every day. Winner: interval training.
Another benefit of interval training is that it takes much less time (about 30 minutes per session). Winner: interval training.
On the other hand, interval training is too hard for beginners. If you're a beginner, stick to slow jogging first for two weeks, and then experiment with increasing the pace for 5 minutes and walking for the next 5 minutes. Once that becomes easy, shorten the work interval and increase its speed. Winner: long, slow cardio.
Overall, if you're fit, interval training is best. But since it's very hard on the body, no one (even elite runners) does it more than twice per week. So, to lose fat quickly, your best bet is a combination of interval training (1-2 times per week) and long, slow cardio (2-3 times per week). Plus it brings variety to your training, which is good. Winner: both.
In short, if you want to maximize fat loss, I suggest you do interval training alone on the days you do it, and that you do some weight lifting and then long, slow cardio on the other days you train.
This being said, the specifics of interval training can get tricky. Hopefully I can share with you the method I prefer later. Athletes and smart trainers use interval training: you also should.
