Fat Loss/fat Burning Fundamentals(2nd Part)

6) Without being a slave to calorie counters you should have a general knowledge about the caloric values of at least the commonest foods.




For example you should realize that 100gr of peanuts contain 600cal, not 200!




7) Your workout regime should contain a medium to high intensity aerobic activity.




Depending on your objectives you should exercise 3-5 days/week for 20-45 each time. So if you are going for maximum fat loss, I strongly advice running for about 45, 4-5 times/week at the maximum intensity you can comfortably function.




These workouts will burn about 600 cal/event, which is quite impressive! Whats more you are not in great danger for injuries as with H.I.I.T.




Personally I love H.I.I.T. I find it more challenging and fun. Its not so taxing for the cardiovascular system and its of shorter duration if you lack time but you cannot burn so many calories and can easily get injured.




H.I.I.T. is only for really fit people!




8) You dont have any serious chances for permanent fat loss if you dont engage in any kind of resistance (strength) training (preferably free weights).




Strength training will help you to increase or at least maintain your muscle mass, which is of utmost importance as the years pass.




Muscularity will more than anything else help you keep your metabolism elevated even when you sit or sleep.




For maximum fat loss you can give to your strength training workout an aerobic character. This you can achieve by minimizing or eliminating the breaks between the sets.




In this way you can comfortably reach 150 bpm especially when you execute the exercises on a standing position.




It is also possible to intermix resistance training with aerobic activities which guarantee a high pulse maintenance all over your workouts duration.




A very interesting alternative strength training method is with total body workouts. These workouts are based on compound (multi-joint) movements as squats, lunges, push ups etc. and if executed in a circuit form they can be very brutal!




They are ideal for advanced fat loss regimens!
