1) Anaerobic Exercise

If you think you can just run laps or pedal that fat away, think again. Muscle tissue is what burns the most calories in our bodies and you need to life weights in order to create bigger muscles that will burn more calories. Now although aerobic exercises such as cycling or swimming are also necessary, the fact remains that building bigger muscles is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. This is because you are creating a more efficient calorie burning machine by lifting weights which will ensure you success with your weight loss goals.

2) Warm-up and Cool Down

Warming up before exercising and taking the time to cool down afterwards with some light exercises are not generally seen as essential to a fat burning program. However, the reason why a lot of people tend to give up on their weight loss goals is because they failed to see the progress they hoped for when they began. An injury, even one that only lasts for a few days, can set your weight loss goals back by weeks and lead to a loss of stimulation. You need to plan an extra twenty minutes into your weight lifting routine for these two essential activities or you risk injury and derailing your weight loss plan.

3) Diet, Diet, Diet

This should not be a killer way to maximize your weight loss goals but it is. The reason for this is because people tend to think of losing weight in two ways: diet, or exercise. Hey, these two go hand in hand and you are never going to maximize your fat burning routine in the gym unless you take care of your body outside of the gym. Stop thinking of meals in terms of three: instead, think 5 meals with smaller portions. The FDA recently developed a new food pyramid with this very idea in mind and you should check it out before starting your fat burning program because it can save you a lot of time and energy if you get the diet part figured out before even stepping into the gym.

4) Plan Workouts

The body is the most complex machine on the planet and you can’t just hope to step into a gym and jump on a machine or some weights and think that you are going to see the results you want without knowing how they affect your body. The ideal exercise routine is done only 3 or 4 times per week and only for 30-45 minutes at a time. You cannot work your body more than this because it will actually cause your muscles to break down which means you will be burning fewer calories, and therefore, not maximizing your fat burning routine in the gym. If you have any doubts about what kind of routine is ideal for your goals, don’t be afraid to consult an physical trainer to help you set up a program that is best suited for you.

5) Nutritional Supplements

If you really want to maximize your fat burning routine in the gym, then you need to consider using nutritional supplements. Now I am not talking about those crazy supplements that promise to burn fat for you while you sit and watch tv! I am talking about essential fatty acids, amino acids, whey protein
.things that will truly maximize your workouts that you can’t always expect to get in the foods you eat every day. Again, consult a physical trainer if you want to know which supplements are best for your weight loss goals.

6) Set Weekly Goals

I know that this just seems terribly obvious but the truth is that most people are not thrilled with the idea of working out so it is easy for them to skip a session or indulge in some pizza and think that they will make up for it next time. Listen, next time never comes and when you stop seeing the scales go down, the motivation just seems to stop. By setting weekly goals, you can track your progress and make it that much more likely that you will adhere to the goals when you see things are not going as expected.

7) No More Late Night Snacks

This one may not seem to make sense, but I assure you that it will help maximize your fat burning exercises. The reason is your metabolism. When you eat right before you go to bed, it throws your body off and you probably notice that you awaken and don’t feel hungry. Then, you skip breakfast entirely or only snack on a bagel or something on you way into work.

The result: the body goes into conservation mode. This means that it slows down your metabolism and that means you are burning less calories throughout the day. Plus, it increases the likelihood of snacking and basically just sets the scene for a bad cycle. Eating five smaller portioned meals per day also has to do with your metabolism as it has been found that metabolism remains highest when there is a consistent supply of food in the body. You might not believe that late night snacking affects the way your body burns fat when working out, but it does.

Now some of the things listed above are obvious while some just seem silly. And yet, taken together and consistently adhered to, these 7 little ideas will maximize your fat burning in the gym and get you to that body you can see in your mind but not the mirror far quicker than if you just go about things in a disorganized and inconsistent manner.

In this article we will cover some of the most common mistakes people make when they want to lose bodyfat.

1. Skip Meals.

This is the most common action people take when they want to lose body fat. They do this under the assumption that if they eat less they must lose fat. Whilst this belief is partially true, skipping meals is certainly not the best way to eat less. Skipping meals invokes the body’s ‘Starvation Mechanism’, which causes a drop in metabolism, a loss of muscle (due to cortisol release), an increase in the activity of fat-storing enzymes and an increase in appetite.

A far more effective approach is to eat 5 or 6 small meals/ snacks (these terms are used interchangeably) each day. Doing so will keep your metabolism elevated, stop your body from going into a catabolic state (breaking down muscle tissue), limit the activity of those pesky fat-storing enzymes, fatty acid synthase and lipoprotein lipase and of course help to suppress your appetite.

When people are recommended to have 5 or 6 meals a day they often respond with, ‘How could I possibly fit in 5 or 6 meals a day! I have kids to look after, I work full time and I’m busy during the day!’ Admittedly, these objections are totally justified and we need to find an easy way to have the 5 or 6 meals a day. The easiest way is to use meal replacements, in the form of powders or bars. Meal replacements are a quick, easy, convenient and cheap way to ensure you get the required number of meals each day. Plus, they make it easy to control your portion sizes of carbohydrate, protein and fat as well as providing your body with the highest quality protein source available, which is whey protein.

You certainly shouldn’t use meal replacements for every meal because it is essential to eat whole foods but perhaps 2 or 3 meals a day could be in the form of meal replacements; usually the mid-morning, mid-afternoon and supper meals.

2. Try to Lose Body Fat Too Fast.

Many people who want to lose body fat try to lose it too fast. Let’s face it, it has taken many years to put it on in the first place and it certainly isn’t going to come off quickly. It is actually a physiological impossibility to lose fat quickly; your body simply won’t allow it. If we are ever faced with a famine situation we will be able to survive for a long period of time due to the fact that we have a good source of energy to draw from if we need it.

Mind you, people read the headlines on magazine covers and in newspapers about how to drop 12 kilos in 12 weeks or drop a dress size in a fortnight and they believe that it must be possible. Plus, there are hundreds of testimonials from people stating how much weight they have lost by following a certain diet. Of course, that is an important point – ‘It is easy to lose weight fast but you can’t lose fat fast!’ Losing more than half a kilo a week is likely to be losses of muscle, water and stored carbohydrate in addition to some fat. It is certainly not going to be entirely from fat.

When weight is lost faster than around half a kilo a week the body is likely to ‘rebound’. This means you will put the weight back on very quickly because the body has been placed under a high degree of stress in order to lose it in the first place.

3. Don’t Use a Multi-Directional Approach.

When someone makes a decision to lose body fat they generally make changes to their nutritional habits. Unfortunately, only making changes to your eating habits is bound to fail simply because your body will always find a way to adapt to a reduction in your food intake. It does this by invoking the ‘starvation mechanism’ as mentioned earlier.

A far better approach is to attack body fat from a number of different directions rather than just one. In my book, ‘Look good, feel great!’ I discuss 4 Lifestyle Factors: Nutrition, Supplementation, Aerobic exercise and Resistance training. By focusing on each of these areas and incorporating the various principles that relate to them into your lifestyle, you will be amazed at how quickly you will lose body fat and how easy it will be to keep it off.

4. Try Another Diet.

It is amazing how many people go on diets, starve, suffer, and put themselves through pain. Then, when they lose weight they celebrate and welcome the fact that they can now go back to eating ‘normally’ again. Of course, the moment they do, the weight piles back on and usually with reinforcements! Then they decide that the diet they followed didn’t work so they try another one, again, with the same results.

The definition of insanity is trying to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. This definition is perfect for dieting. I compare dieting to trying to defy the law of gravity by jumping off a different building each time- eventually you’re going to get hurt!

The best way to lose body fat is to never go on a diet again, they simply do not work. Decide to make some minor changes to your current eating habits that are sustainable for the rest of your life. If you can’t maintain the changes then it is guaranteed that the weight-loss results you achieve will be short-lived.

5. Avoid Lifting Weights.

When people want to lose body fat, weight training, or resistance training, is never considered as an option. The reason is that many people have the mistaken belief that lifting weights will ‘bulk them up’, cause them to grow facial hair, make women look like men or cause their voice to lower 3 octaves!

Despite this, resistance training is probably the most under-estimated way to lose body fat fast! If a mild, calorie-restricted nutritional plan is followed, it is virtually impossible to increase your muscle mass because there are no extra calories to use for building muscle. Lifting weights under these circumstances will simply force the body to maintain its existing muscle mass, which results in maintenance of your metabolism and therefore your body’s fat-burning ability.

6. Don’t Make Permanent Lifestyle Changes.

Once people achieve the fat loss they desire rarely do they maintain the lifestyle that helped them achieve the result. Often they will say that it is too difficult to maintain so they return to previous lifestyle habits- the habits that caused them to put on fat in the first place! This is known as relapse.

In order to maintain the result it is absolutely essential that you maintain the habits that helped you achieve it. Of course, you can modify them slightly and still maintain the result. For example, you can decrease the frequency of your exercise program so instead of exercising every day you can now exercise every second day or instead of only having one ‘Treat Meal’ a week you can allow yourself two. Therefore, you are still maintaining the exercise and healthy eating habits but have modified them to make them more sustainable for you. Remember these habits must be maintained for the rest of your life.

7. Get Advice From the Wrong People.

Once people make a decision to lose body fat they will often start asking people close to them how they think they should do it. These people are usually family members or friends who have probably never studied anatomy or physiology and who likely know absolutely nothing about what it takes to lose body fat and get in great shape. As a result, they get incorrect information that at best won’t help them achieve their goals or at worst may be harmful to their health!

Perhaps they might decide to follow a diet that they read in their favourite magazine and more often than not, the diet is advertised to do one thing and one thing only- sell magazines! It is not used to arm people with correct information so they can make informed decisions or tell them the truth about losing body fat, it is simply designed to sell magazines.

The best thing to do is to speak with someone who has achieved the result you desire and who has managed to keep the fat off. Then, model their actions. Find out what they eat every day, what exercise they do and what supplements they take and then simply do exactly the same.

Alternatively, employ the services of a professional who has been successful in achieving fat-loss goals for their clients. Personal trainers are your best option. Their job is to help people achieve whatever body composition changes they desire.

What is the definition of tone anyway? Is it losing fat? Is it hardening the area? Is it increasing muscle? The dictionary defines tone as, “creating tension in a muscle.” That doesn’t really sound like a definition relating to changing body composition at all, does it? I must admit though, it is a phrase most people can relate to. For purposes of this article, I will define to tone up as to, “lose fat and slightly increase muscle size to achieve a ‘harder’ looking body”. I think this is the sort of body most people would want to achieve anyway.

An important point to keep in mind is that a muscle can only increase or decrease in size. Most people have the mistaken belief that they can tone up or harden up their muscles by performing certain exercises. The fact is, muscles cannot harden up, get flabby or get soft. All they can do is increase (hypertrophy) or decrease (atrophy) in size. Muscles cannot actually harden up themselves. The part of the body that is exercised may feel harder simply because the muscles have experienced hypertrophy, and because muscle is a denser tissue than fat, it’s the body part not the muscle that feels harder.

Since increasing muscle mass is part of our definition for increasing body tone, it is important to perform some type of resistance training. If you only perform cardiovascular exercise and/or diet to lose fat, up to half of the weight lost will be from muscle tissue. Since muscle has an enormous effect on our metabolic rate, a loss of muscle results in a reduction of our metabolic rate, thereby making continual fat-loss very difficult. Without resistance training, there will still be a layer of fat on your body that just won’t budge! The metabolism-enhancing effects of resistance training cannot be under estimated in dramatically reducing your body fat to levels you never thought possible.

Have you ever seen your abdominals? Has your butt ever felt rock-hard when you tensed it? Have you ever had really shapely biceps and shoulders? If your answer is no to any of these questions or if you would like to achieve this with your body, then resistance training is the most efficient way to do it. Slightly larger muscles means less body fat and better body shape. By slightly increasing your muscle mass you will achieve a level of leanness you never thought possible and you will be enhancing the curves and shape of your body at the same time. If you’re a woman, you won’t end up looking like a man by slightly increasing your muscle mass and you will be amazed with the changes that occur in your body.

If you decide to incorporate a resistance-training program into your lifestyle don’t be concerned about increasing your muscle mass indefinitely. People wanting to continually increase their muscle mass, must constantly increase their food intake. This is why bodybuilders eat 3-4 times the amount of food of the average person. Their bodies are like furnaces, continually burning up energy. In order to continually increase their muscle mass, they must also increase their food intake accordingly. However if you choose to maintain a moderate food intake, then the increases in your muscle size will also be moderate. If you don’t increase your food intake, then your body will only increase its muscle mass up to a certain point. Through continued weight training you will be able to maintain this amount of muscle and therefore keep your metabolic rate elevated.

Resistance (weight) training will provide you with the following benefits:

* Enhances natural body curves. * Younger looking body. * Lower level of body fat. * Less ‘cellulite’. * Reduces risk of osteoporosis. * Improves body functioning.

If you’re still not convinced that weight training would aid in your quest for creating the best body possible, then consider the following facts:

*Women produce less testosterone than men. It is especially difficult for women to significantly increase their muscle mass because women do not naturally produce as much testosterone as men do. The majority of overly muscular women take anabolic steroids to increase their muscle mass (a derivative of the male hormone testosterone).

*Women have less muscle mass to begin with. Women have two-thirds less muscle mass (on average) than men. This does not mean however they can not derive benefits from resistance training.

*’Heavy’ weights ‘tones’ faster. Women who consistently train with moderate to heavy weights (‘heavy’ being relative to their strength levels) achieve a toned look to their bodies very quickly. Training with light weights and high repetitions does very little to change their body’s composition. Initially women may see some benefits however over time this type of training will only increase their muscle’s endurance capabilities without considerably affecting their metabolic rate or body shape.

*Muscle growth must be maintained. If you ever feel that your muscles are increasing too much, however unlikely, simply stop training for two weeks and your muscle mass will start to shrink.

*Muscle cannot turn into fat. You’ve probably heard the comment, “when you stop training the muscle turns into fat!” This is a popular comment from many well intentioned but ignorant people. These people usually have very little knowledge of weight training or have never trained themselves before, so they really have no idea at all. They are also probably envious of the fact that you are doing something positive for your body and they are not.

It is a physiological impossibility to turn muscle tissue into fat tissue. Muscle and fat have totally different chemical compositions. Muscle is made up of protein and water whereas fat is made of triglycerides (fatty acids and glycerol). The two are completely different. Both muscle cells and fat cells can increase or decrease in size and some research indicates that under certain conditions, these cells can actually split and become two cells. This is called hyperplasia (as opposed to hypertrophy, which simply means to increase in size). Remember you cannot harden up a soft muscle, although the body part may appear harder due to the increased size of the muscle. And muscle does not turn into fat when someone stops training!

It should now be obvious that resistance (weight) training is a must for women wanting to achieve a toned body. Without weights, women will be continually struggling to achieve their ideal body with little or no success.

The sooner the myths regarding weight training are dispelled, the sooner women will become aware of the benefits that can be gained by lifting weights and the sooner they will make themselves happy as well as many more men in the world!

Burgess Xavier is a health and fitness writer. If you are fed up with all the “expert” weight-loss and fitness information which promises you quick “weight loss tricks” and a leaner , trimmer look, but leaves you with no real results? Then visit me at http://www.justintimeliving.com where I will show you the Simplest, Step-By-Step Guide To Building A Powerful Nutrition Plan That Will Feed Your Body With What It Needs To Burn Fat, And Gain Muscle and keep the fat off for life.

First of all, before you start an exercise program, you need to make sure that it is okay for you. Walking programs are fairly safe for anyone to get started with. In fact, most doctors recommend walking for cardiac patients quite frequently. So walking is a great way to get started right away. Walking uses up oxygen and when you do that, the body turns to other energy sources to feed itself and this would be the stored carbohydrates in your system in the form of fat. One source says that walking a mile will burn 100 calories and that 3,500 calories equals one pound. But you cannot walk 35 miles a day. So you have to combine your scheduled walk with many unscheduled walks such as walking to the grocery store, walking to work, walking upstairs instead of taking the elevator, and looking for every possible opportunity you can to walk.

So walking is good to get started but you will want to safely increase the intensity of your exercise in order to burn fat faster. This increase needs to be gradual especially if you are seriously overweight and have not exercised in quite some time. To increase the intensity of your walking, try climbing stairs. In fact, look for every place where there are stairs and use them. Stadiums are a good place to find stairs. If you have access to a stadium you can spend your time running up and down those. Cardiac doctors recommend that patients start stair climbing very gradually. If you are a cardiac patient then consult your doctor.

And as you get into better shape, you can intensify your exercise program by maybe running or doing wind sprints. No matter what, the key to burning fat quickly and keeping it off is through activity and resistance activity is the best. Resistance activity is where you push against some force. For example, walking up and down stairs is a resistance activity because you are resisting the downward pull of gravity. This is how you burn fat fast. Activity burns those extra calories. There is really no other safe way around it.

Many exercises we do, even if we perform them daily, do not always focus on the belly. They typically focus on other areas of the body. While many people believe that any exercise will target all areas of the body this is not true. You have to target your belly in order to have success. Some exercises that you might want to try include:

Thrust Squat/Push ups – back and front

Jump Rope

Sit-ups

These exercises are the most beneficial to lose belly fat. In fact, any exercise that allows you to use your stomach muscles will work. The key is to make sure you are giving those belly muscles a good work out on a daily basis. If you simply cannot do 30 sit-ups a day, consider exercising every other day.

Another key factor in losing that belly is your diet. The foods you eat, regardless of how much exercise you get, will make or break your efforts to lose belly fat. Essentially, it is necessary to include a well-balanced and healthy diet in your life. Change your eating habits to include more vegetables and fruits and less sugars and fats. While we all love those sweets, all of us could stand to cut back on them. Fast foods and desserts are the two common items that contribute to fats.

The greatest visual can use to determine which foods you should be eating and just how much of each, is the good ole Food Pyramid. Most of you probably studied the food pyramid when you were in school and there was a reason for it. This is the guidelines followed by all doctors and nutritionists when creating healthy and sustainable diets. The pyramid can guide you in how much of which foods you should be including in your everyday life and eating habits.

Of course, before you start any exercise regimen or diet program, you should make sure to talk with your physician first. He or she will be able to help you in forming the right exercise schedule and diet that fits your health and your needs. Yes, we all want to lose belly fat, but we need to do so in a safe and healthy manner.

6) Use the power of vegetables to help you reach your goals. Vegetables are the most nutrient dense food around meaning that you can eat a tremendous quantity of vegetables and consume very few calories. The high fiber content of vegetables also causes your body to work very hard just to digest the vegetables, which means that the calories you do consume are all burned up just in the digestion process. So, in turn, vegetables are negative calories! If you get hungry you can always add more vegetables with no fear of hurting your fat loss efforts (Fried okra does not count!)
7) Pick a nutrition plan that you can live with and that you have faith in. If you cannot consistently follow a nutritional program then you will never have success with it. A good rule to remember is that any “diet” that you eventually come off of will fail in the long run. To have success you must incorporate a nutritional program that you can follow for the rest of your life. This requires a lifestyle change and commitment on your part. It is also important that you have faith and confidence in your fat loss nutrition program. If you do not truly believe that something is going to work for you, then you will not stick with it.
“Cheat” if you want to, but know the consequences of excessive overindulgence. Having a “cheat” day or cheat meal every week or every two week, in which you allow yourself to eat whatever food you are craving, is a great way to help you stick with your nutritional program. “Cheat” days give us a mental break and allow us to enjoy some of our favorite foods so that we do not feel deprived. However, don’t fool yourself into thinking that your body “needs” these cheat days, and be careful of the quantity of food you eat on your cheat day. If your cheat meal turns into a full day of pigging-out on everything in sight then you can easily undo all of the hard work you put in the week before.
9) Keep your eye on the prize. Eating to lose body fat is tough. I am not going to lie and say it isn’t. There will undoubtedly be times when you feel like giving up and accepting the fact that you can never achieve your ideal physique and level of health and fitness. When you feel like this take a couple of minutes to remind yourself exactly why you are doing it. Think of how awesome it is going to feel when you finally do reach your goals. Trust me, when you achieve your fat loss goals and reach a new level of health and fitness, it will be well-worth the sacrifice you had to make along the way.
10) Be consistent and never give up. Permanent fat loss requires a lifelong commitment to eating healthier and exercising. Don’t become frustrated or give up if you do not seem to be reaching your goals as quickly as you would like. Achieving the body and level of fitness you desire takes time and consistency. If you mess up on your nutrition plan don’t beat yourself up. Instead, get right back to it and keep making progress because with enough determination and desire you WILL eventually get there.
