Health and Wellness - Fat Loss

A growing number of people wonder about how long they should work out and at what intensity level for the best fat loss results, because they wish to maximize their efforts..

For the past decade, dieters and fitness enthusiasts have been mislead into thinking that lower intensity exercise is the best way to burn fat. This is likely because exercise at lower intensities primarily uses fat as the "fuel" source ... and higher intensity exercise uses carbohydrates as fuel.

However, the most important factor in losing fat with exercise is the TOTAL number of calories burned, NOT whether the calories burned are from fat or carbs.

Many people refuse to work hard because they are afraid it would take them out of their "fat burning zone." these people can be seen steady cycling on a machine sometimes even reading a paper!

Research has proven, time and time again, that exercising at a low intensity to stay in the "fat burning zone" is incorrect. At lower intensities, you burn more calories from fat ... BUT you burn fewer TOTAL calories.

Remember, "Fat Loss Key #1" in our DVD is in order to lose fat, you must create a caloric deficit. That is, you need to expend ("burn") more calories than you consume. Period. There are no exceptions to this rule.

So, whether your cardio sessions are 12, 20, 30, or 45 minutes long, the higher the intensity, the more TOTAL calories you will burn. And the more TOTAL calories you burn, the more fat you burn. In addition, higher intensity exercise not only burns more calories, it also elevates your metabolism more (and longer) after the workout is over.

That's right, with higher intensity exercise, you can actually condition your metabolism to work more efficiently throughout the day! (be sure to exercise at safe range for your fitness level)
