[H904]How To Burn Off Calories
by Tony Leong, Ton

Do you know that you can burn 100 calories or more by adding something extra into your workout within spending more time? With 100 calories extra, in 35 sessions, you will be losing an extra one-pound of body fat on top of the total body fat that you will lose from your normal weight loss exercise routine.

This question became very popular because there are so many people out there that are hitting the weight loss plateau. They are exercising hard but yet they are not losing any more weight. This is very frustrating and sometimes can be very demoralizing. But you don't have to worry now, I will share with you methods that I teach with my subscribers in Fast Fat Loss E-Mag on how to burn more calories during your workout.

Step one. Please get out of the fancy machine and hit the free weights and cables. There are many things that these machines cannot offer. Although they are highly engineered and are of latest technologies, they still do not train your muscle on balancing and coordination. The movement path is fixed and all you have to do is push. But with free weights, you need to balance the weights, focus on coordination, and focus on the power and speed of individual arm and also the movement path. This will burn more calories. Not only that, the muscle is worked more intensely. This will require more calories from the body for muscle recovery.

Step two, add in lunges into other exercises. Most of the time, people think that lunges is used only to work the butt, quads and hamstrings. But not many people know that lunges can be integrated into other exercises to make the exercise more complex and intense. A good example is dumbbell shoulder press with lunge. This exercise works the shoulders, the triceps, the core and the entire lower body. Rather than just sitting down on the bench and pressing the weights upwards, why not add in the lunges.

To perform this exercise, start by standing up with your feet side by side. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height with your palms facing forward. And with one fluid movement, step out your right leg and drop vertically downwards until your left knee almost touches the floor. Press the dumbbells all the way up as you lower the left knee. Then step back to original position and repeat with your left leg.

There are many other exercise that you can add lunges to. You can add lunges to your dumbbell bicep curls, to your oblique twist with fitball and many more.

Step 3. Add squats into your other exercise. This is a similar concept of the lunges. By adding leg movements into your upper body movements, you almost double up your calorie burn. This is because the more muscle you exercise, the more calories you burn.

An interesting way you can add squats into your exercise is doing squats with your cable rows. First, stand up straight with the bar in your hands. Take a step back so that the weight stack is up. Then, instead of just bringing the bar to your stomach, squat down first, hold the position then bring the bar to your stomach. Return to the original position by extending your arms fully and the stand back up.

Step 4. You can also add in unrelated exercises in between sets. This means that instead of just resting one minute between a set of pull downs, why not do a set of crunches or a set of triceps press downs. This sort of supersets really can increase the intensity of the exercise and your heart rate.

You can also do chest exercises superset with abs, shoulder exercises superset with leg exercise. To take it another level higher, superset the weight training sets with a 2-minute high intensity cardio like uphill running or the Stairmaster

Step 5. Stick to large muscle groups and do only compound exercises. Large muscle groups like legs, back, chest and shoulders burns a lot if calories during a session of weight training. This because the size of these muscle groups are far larger than biceps and triceps. Use compound exercises to hammer these muscle groups. Compound exercises like squats, dead lift, chin-ups, barbell bench press and barbell shoulder press utilizes a lot of calories because lots of muscles are being worked at one time.

Use these tips to burn more calories in your workout session. We all could use additional helpful information to help us get our dream body faster. That is why I share a lot of latest weight loss tips in my newsletter .


Assuming you are already in a diet, it is necessary for you to include exercise on your daily routine to lose weight. This simple change in your lifestyle would surely reap in your desired results. Combining a healthy diet with regular exercise can help you achieve maximum weight loss. It is most especially helpful if you want to lose weight permanently. How does this work? Exercise helps in increasing the rate at which you burn off calories. If the amount of calories you burn is more than you consume, then your body will start converting fat into energy to make up for the shortfall.

Here are a few suggestions on which weight loss program you may opt to get that desired weight loss result:

1. Brisk walking. If you are just starting on your weight loss program, this form of exercise could be the right one for you. It is very basic and practically anyone can do it. You not only burn those unwanted calories but you also increase your energy level. It is also very important to do this regularly. Though it may be just a very simple form of exercise, walking when consistently and properly done can actually work wonders on your weight.

2. Indulge in sports. Ball games such as basketball, soccer, and the like which requires complete body activity can help. Your body uses up at least 450 calories after an hour getting physical in basketball. Ping-Pong, after an hour uses up over 250 calories.

3. Aerobics. Aerobics, in its own sense, means "with oxygen". This type of activity which involves body movement in a spontaneous period of time, it therefore promotes better respiratory and circulatory functions for the body. We might not be very aware of it but the simple things we do each day such as going shopping, doing household chores, or even walking is considered an aerobic exercise. Therefore, one does not need to enroll in a class in order to perform aerobic exercises. Other forms of aerobic exercises include jogging, swimming, and boxing. In an average, a person loses over 400 calories just from doing any aerobic activity.

4. Cycling. It could either be done outdoors or indoors on a stationary bike. This can be a fun activity just like brisk walking because it allows you to be in a natural environment, for a change. Or if you hate to be outdoors, you could always get on that stationary bike while watching TV. Cycling helps develop calf and thigh muscles especially when doing outdoor cycling on rough grounds such as mountain trails.

5. Weight Training or anaerobic exercises. This involves development of muscles to burn calories. Lifting weights can do wonders for you and even if you do this for a short period of time, you would not have to go out on the road to run, jog or be on the bike.

6. Yoga. Do you know that yoga does not only promote good mental health but is also a good form of weight loss program? This form of weight loss program allows you to release stress from your mind and increase your metabolic rate. Yoga exercises are not strenuous to your body since you only assume positions that are beneficial to you. You can work out at your own pace and increase the level of difficulty as you increase your metabolic rate.

The underlying principle of weight loss is to pair exercise with a proper diet. Do this and you'll never go wrong. Soon you will have the body and the weight you have always hoped for.
