Fat Burning 7 Step Method

Turn your workouts into a fat burning workout that will increase weight loss, lean muscle and a bunch of confidence. 

Step 1: Add Weight

Even if finding time to do weight training use weights with your cardio some how as the more lean muscle you have the more calories your body burns up in a day. An easy example of doign light weight training while doing cardio is while on the treadmill or stair climber use a 5 to 15 lbs dummbell and do bicep curls and over the head extensions. This will increase workout intensity while building and toning muscle during your workout.

Step 2: Interval Training

The absolute best way to burn more fat and calories is by working out at a higher intensity right? So try doing interval training where you do short burst of maximum intensity and back to easy or medium intensity than repeat. 10 to 20 minutes is all you need as it will to increase your indurance while increasing the after burn through your entire day of exercising.

Step 3: Keep Good Posture

Slumping over the handle bars on the stationary bike limits the amount of oxygen you take-in leaving you burning less calories. On cardio equipment the handles bars are only there for balance so use them only for that and not when things get hard.

Step 4: Variety Is Everything

Doing the same workout every time you set foot in the gym will force your body to adapt that will have you burning less calories and making no gains. Mix up the types of cardio you do from walking to jogging, biking, swimming, etc. just keep adding variety. This also goes with weight training as if you usually lift lower body one day and upper body the next day, try doing both in one day, mixing up the exercises and even rest for shorter periods.

Step 5: Do Cardio Last

I am not saying that doing cardio after you workout is the best but it does has its advantages like decreasing muscle soreness after a workout, targets more fat cells and increases a workouts after burn. Remember, the best time to do cardio is when you feel the best as the most important factor is that you do cardio.

Step 6: Breath Through Your Nose

Inhaling and exhaling through your nose, rather than your mouth, helps stabilize your heart rate and (like the pre-workout snack) increase your endurance. The result? You work out longer and burn more calories. But don’t get discouraged if it feels unnatural at first — it takes about six to eight workouts to perfect.

Step 7: Pre-meal Snack Time

Eating a low-carbohydrate protein bar 90 minutes before you work out will enable you to exercise longer and harder (and burn more calories) than you normally would. However, that 90-minute mark is crucial. Eat any closer to your workout, and blood will rush to your stomach, actually diminishing your performance.

Have a great day and God bless!
