Simple steps to burn fat fast (Part 2)

PARTICIPATE IN TRAINING SESSIONS THAT BOOST METABOLISM DURING AND ESPECIALLY AFTER WORKOUTS.

Resistance training is one of the most effective forms of exercise in terms of increasing your metabolism during and after training sessions.

Research has shown that the body’s metabolism can remain elevated for 24-48 hours after intense training. Weight training works much better than resistance training to generate the extra calories that are burned after exercise. The body is burning calories just by repairing itself from the stimulation you gave it.

Essentially, you are burning calories and fat off the clock.

Proper weight training will increase your metabolism through:

-Calories burned during the session

-Calories burned after the session

-Increase or maintain lean muscle tissue (lean muscle is active tissue, burning calories simply to stay alive)

Think of yourself as an athlete walking onto the field or court. You want to focus on doing your best to win the game of reshaping your body. Better performance leads to a better body!

Cardiorespiratory training also increases metabolism and calorie burning both during and after exercise. The cardiorespiratory system kicks into action to maintain or recover from all physical activity.

To skyrocket your fitness levels and calories burned during and after cardio, you should do interval training.

Interval training is best for increasing excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). This is a condition where the amount of oxygen needed for training and recovery from training is increased.

Your post-workout metabolism remains above what it was before your workout, while your body continues to burn calories at rest using additional oxygen to recharge energy supplies and lower body temperature.

Research has shown that the higher the intensity of the training session, the higher the level of EPOC. Intensity can be measured by looking at your percentage of maximum heart rate.

Breaking up workouts into two equal-time sessions has also been shown to further increase EPOC. So splitting your sessions in half makes a lot of sense to get the most benefit from EPOC. You can do two shorter cardio sessions on a given day, instead of one long cardio session.

Interval training basically consists of alternating between different levels of intensity during the exercise session. You can do segments of different distances or times to add a new stimulus to your training.

Again, think of an athlete on the court or field, they are constantly doing intervals: run, stop, jump, walk, and run again. You want to imitate what the best athletes do. His physique shows you the benefits of interval training.

So go out there and be the athlete you are and your body will thank you.
