Have you reached the point yet, where you are fed up enough with the fat that you see in the mirror every day, that you are ready to do something about it?
If you answer yes to this question, it is really important that you grasp the points that follow in this article.
If you want to lose the fat that you see, when you look at your body in a mirror, you will have to do some form of fat burning exercise. You will also have to alter your eating routines, but the exercise is far more important.
Exercise Increases Your Metabolic Rate
To lose the unwanted fat on your body, you must increase your metabolism. You can only increase your metabolism through exercise. When you increase your metabolism, you burn the food that you have recently consumed more quickly – for energy. Then you will begin to burn the fat on your body for energy.
With a higher metabolic rate, you wont only burn fat at the time you are exercising. You will also burn more fat throughout the day. This is called “the thermogenic effect of exercise”.
Fat Burning Exercise and Achieving The Thermogenic Effect
There are a few factors which will largely determine the effectiveness of your exercise routine, in raising your metabolic rate, which will determine the rate at which you will lose your unwanted fat. These are: what form of exercise you do, the frequency of your exercise, and the amount of time you spend exercising.
Another factor that is relevant, is the intensity of your movement in doing the exercise.
But the most important factor is the type of exercise you will be doing.
Forms of Exercise That Bring About Fat Loss
There are two broad categories of exercise. They are aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.
Some examples of aerobic exercise are jogging, walking, swimming and bicycle riding. Strength training, or weight training as some people call it, is the example of anaerobic exercise that many people think of, in connection with fat loss.
Strength training results in more fat loss and faster fat loss, than you will get from aerobic exercise. However, many people find that strength training does not appeal to them. They elect to do a form of aerobic exercise instead, which also is effective in bringing about fat loss. It is worth mentioning, that if you do both strength training and a form of aerobic exercise, it brings about the most efficient fat loss.
What Exercise Routine Will You Choose To Do?
Which category of exercise appeals to you more, strength training or aerobic exercise? Would you do both, or only one of them? Your answer to these questions will give rise to several other questions. IE – how long should you spend doing your exercise routine?, should you exercise daily or less frequently?, is there an recommended level of exertion for the exercise?
