Exercise to Lose the Fat Fast
So you want to know how to lose weight fast? Would you have an epiphany if I told you that you had to diet and exercise? I didn't think so. I'm sure that you have heard that too many times with a lot of vagueness. No one seems to know how to exercise to lose fat (notice I didn't say weight) and retain muscle. No one except the ones who are tired of getting pestered daily with exercise questions. So listen up, take note and get ready to lose weight fast.
Many people should realize how important it is to leverage our bodies to achieve our weight loss goals. If you know how to exercise correctly, then you can spend as little as 15 minutes in a workout a day to turbo charge your metabolism from that point until the next day. Imagine how many additional calories you would burn in a day if you were to burn an extra calorie a minute. Doesn't that sound like a lot more fun than only burning additional calories for the duration of your workout? Good, I have your attention.
Your solution to getting a "turbo-charged" metabolism is High Intensity Interval Training. Without going into too much detail, HIIT is performing a physical activity at around 90-95% of your maximum heart rate. You will only be able to do this for about 15-30 seconds. An example of a HIIT workout is doing a 10-15 30 second sprints with a minute of walking between each set. After that, you can cool down, stretch and finish your workout knowing that you will burn a lot more calories than 45 minutes of jogging.
This type of training is very hard to do. Just like people usually don't squat, people will not do this either. No one wants to work hard but everyone wants the results. Well here is the proven formula, take it or leave it for some miracle pill. Just don't act ignorant when you are not getting the results that you want. This method is proven, so proven in fact that Laval University performed a test to validate HIIT's effectiveness. The results were astonishing - the tested group lost 9x more fat than the control group who performed traditional 30-60 minute moderate exercise.
Remember, when you are going to exercise to lose weight, perform HIIT (high intensity interval training). You will burn more total calories and even boost your growth hormone levels (ever wonder why sprinters are so buff compared to marathon runners? They both run.). Most importantly, your metabolism will be elevated throughout the rest of the day.
