fire When you’re trying to lose weight it can tend to be a bit annoying, when no matter what you do or how hard you try sometimes the pounds just don’t seem to shift. And it can become incredibly frustrating when you are trying to lose weight and you are seemingly doing the right things.

Hopefully what is about to to be discussed here might swing things in the opposite direction, and you may get some results, the problem is with people some of us are able to shift excess body fat. While others struggle to shift hardly any. If you do some basic research on exercise and calorie burning you may find information, which tells you how many calories will be burned doing a specific type of exercise say for instance walking for an hour or so.

Which is all well and good but if we take walking as a particular example, there isn’t any particular resistance involved in doing it you are just walking against air and nothing else, the only time it will get harder is when you are walking up a hill. Or across territory that makes you use your muscles more, you do do this to a certain extent when you’re walking. But the effort that is required becomes harder the more the incline is, which is better and will yield far better results but we don’t all necessary live nearby mountains. Or somewhere that may have a steep incline.

You can build your leg muscles overtime by going for walks every day and this will eventually lead to fat burning tissue. One of the particular problems with this particular exercise and there are others which are very similar, is that they known as aerobic exercise which means that, your body is using oxygen as the primary factor in the process of burning fat.

So when your activity is over or work out which ever you want to call it, then the fat burning process ceases, which doesn’t necessarily mean that this is such a bad thing because after all you will still burn calories, and any exercise is better than none.

The types of aerobic exercise are things like walking, swimming, cycling, jogging etc, but there are other types of exercise which are far better at burning fat, and what you get as a by product is called the “after burn effect” which continues 18 hours after you have done your initial exercise.

One of the great things about doing this particular type of exercise is you don’t have to train for a hour in order to get good results from doing this particular method, if you can manage to do it then you will reap the benefits.

Anaerobic exercise is by far the better alternative when it comes to using up excess glucose in your bloodstream, because otherwise this excess glucose is stored in your adipose fat stores, and is not used as it should be. So therefore you have more fat in your body. This particular form of exercise uses 19 times more glucose than aerobic exercise does.

So if you have excess blood sugar in your body, then this will do a very good job of removing it from your system the great thing about doing this type of exercise is, you don’t necessarily have to do it for very long to get benefits from it. Most people tend to think that when they work out, that if they put the maximum effort throughout their particular routine when, they are doing it then this will yield the best results but this isn’t necessarily the case. As far as burning fat is concerned, by far the best way is to have a five-minute warm up in order to get your muscles supple.

And then start to do your work out. The most efficient way to yield good results and turbo charge fat burning, is by gradually increasing the amount of effort that you are putting in when you are doing your specific exercise. The best way to achieve this is to do a bit more each time as you are doing it.

This will gradually over a period of time increase your heart rate and lung capacity, so each time you come to do your work out. You will be able to do more for longer periods of time and the fat burning process becomes gradual so you are slowly warming up your body. This burns fat far more effectively

As long as you get to the point where your body feels quite warmish but not actually sweating, this signifies that you’re getting to the point of what I call the burn, which is where your body starts to burn fat. One of the most efficient and effective anaerobic exercises you can do will be achieved by using weights or lifting your own body weight.

Doing such things as push-ups, pull-ups, and any other exercise which involves using your body as a weight. You can also use some free weights, for instance a set of small barbells will do fine, or you can also buy a long set of barbells a bit like the sort that professional weightlifters use.

Which tends to have weights at each end, but with a longer pole for lifting, in summary the thing to remember is here as long as your work out does involve some sort of resistance training you will yield better results when you are doing your repetitions using the weights, by speeding up for a shorter period while you are doing them and gradually work up to a stage.

Where you feel as though you are not actually breathing, your mind might be sending all sorts of messages to stop as your heart may get to a stage where it is beating quite fast. Just keep going and don’t be scared it will only be for a short time

The important thing to remember here is you don’t have to sustain the peak effort for a very long time for it to make a difference you only have to to keep it there for a maximum of 2 1/2 minutes. Once you get there go down to a bit of a slower pace what the idea here is to do is ramp, your efforts up and down your exercise will look like a graph going upwards gradually in 2 1/2 minute bursts which will reach at a peak.

And then gradually come back down again, the best way to do this is in steps, for instance four to five levels of intensity, between 1-5 one being the least effort and five being the maximum effort. So you have a pattern of gradually building up your effort throughout your workout.

Another important factor is to make sure that the rest periods in between your workout are very small say a minute or two between each exercise. So if you do ten front arm rows and then some arm curls just make sure that you have a small rest period in between this will maximize the fat burning potential of your sessions.

If you can do this as a two tier workout say as an example do some form of aerobic exercise in the morning and anaerobic in the afternoon you will have a double whammy effect as the exercise in the evening will keep things ticking over nicely.

Doing exercise like this split into two halves works far better at burning fat, than just one session of an hour or half an hour which a lot of people do. When I was trying to lose weight I didn’t have the stamina to do half an hour on my stair stepper it used to crease me. So split it intotwo ten minute sessions and to my surprise it worked extremely well.

Although at the time I didn’t know that splitting your routine in half made that much difference I just did it because it suited me at the time. And using a stair stepper which used two hydraulic rams for resistance must of given me some anaerobic exercise without even knowing. To clarify what it means, it’s when your not using oxygen for fuel as regards to burning fat.

Here is how to do it if you didn’t grasp what has been said.

In a week do this as is stated and you can’t go far wrong in the morning go for a walk/jog gradually increasing your effort of 2 ½ min intervals in steps of your choice just make sure you keep ramping it up and down the effort that your putting in.

And when you reach your peak which is more or less a jog than a walk make sure you stay at the top for that time of 2 ½ mins once you do and your putting your all into it you will get into the anaerobic threshold it will be uncomfortable no doubt about that but it will maximize your training no end.

So for one week train by doing a walk/jog using the above and then do some free weights in the evening to keep things ticking over do this for six days but miss one walk/jog session and miss one free weights session on one particular day of your choice. Then have a full rest day on day seven.

The great thing about doing it this way you will maximize your fitness and be able to more for longer when you workout next time and burn even more fat. If you only do a constant workout with no ramping then your fitness levels will still be good but this will make you, that extra bit fitter and improve your heart/lung performance.

Your main goal is to have a pyramid of exercise which peaks at the top and ramps up and down in intensity, please consult your Doctor before doing this type of routine as it’s very intense and might make things worse if your out of shape.
