How to Get Super Fast Fat Loss With Exercise

How to Get Super Fast Fat Loss With Exercise

Losing weight or more specifically losing fat is one of the most confusing subjects. We are told everything from it only takes 2 minutes per workout, to you must stay in the fat burning zone for 30 plus minutes before you start to burn fat. Most of the marketing hype is just that-hype. Designed to get us to buy some product that is supposedly going to make it easy for us to get into shape.

The fact of the matter is that losing weight and staying in great shape actually takes hard work. All lean and fit people put in the time and effort. It takes a continuous commitment to yourself and to a good healthy lifestyle. It takes time and and it takes a proven method. So what is that method? I'm glad you asked.

I have successfully kept a really fit and healthy body for over 6 years now. I train clients every day as a Personal Fitness Coach that have achieved weight loss through these methods and kept it off. Other benefits of this type of training include having heaps more energy and not getting sick as often.

High intensity training is what works. High intensity interval cardio training will get you super fit and in turn get you in the best shape of your life. And high intensity circuit style weight training is a time efficient way to shape and tone up all your muscles and burn heaps of fat at the same time.

Each high intensity workout lasts only 20 minutes. Of course you can go longer as you get fitter if you like. I find 30-40 minutes to be ideal for me and most of my clients. You also need to train often. 5-7 times per week is ideal, but even 4 times per week will get great results if you put in enough effort.

Every training session must begin with a warm up of about 5 minutes of easy activity such as walking, easy jogging or any other movement that gets your heart rate up. You must also end with a few minutes of easy activity to bring your heart rate back down. The main part of your workout should take at least 10 minutes if you are a beginner or haven't worked out in a while and can take as long as 40 minutes depending on how fit you are and how much time you have.

Following is an example of an interval cardio session:

1 minutes hard
30 seconds easy
REPEAT FOR TOTAL WORKOUT TIME

Sound too easy. Try it. The secret is that you must go as hard as you can for each hard minute. Keep moving on the easy 30 seconds also, maybe walking for instance. Do not just stand there!

So what do you actually do for those minutes? Any activity that gets you huffing and puffing. You could do the intervals on an exercise bike and pedal easily in between. You could do sprints outside or on a treadmill. You could use a skipping rope or do step ups on a box. You could run stairs or do an exercise such as burpees or kettlebell swings or snatches. The possibilities are endless.

I recommend doing this type of workout at least 3 times per week and up to 6 if you are fitter. You could also alter the length of each interval and rest period (always make sure that the rest does not go longer than the hard interval) to mix it up. You can even do different activities within the same training session. Keep you body guessing to maximise fat loss and to challenge your body to get fitter.

As you can see, you don't need any special equipment to do these fat burning cardio sessions. Give it a try and within a few weeks you will be reaping the rewards. A strong and fit body can be yours if you put in the hard work.
