Fat Loss Training
by Yuri in Fitness Training
Training for fat loss is a goal for many people and not surprising given many of us are conscious of our weight. There are a number of ways to train for fat loss so let’s take a look at the most effective.
Fat Loss Training Basics
When it comes to training for fat loss there are a couple of points you need to remember. First, for fat loss or weight loss to occur, you must take in fewer calories than you need. The best way to do this is to decrease your daily food calories by 200-500 per day and increase your exercise calories by 200-500 per day. This can be as simple as swapping a full fat latte for a skim milk latte and swapping two glasses of wine at dinner for one glass of wine and one glass of water. For exercise, even just 15 – 30 minutes will increase your fat loss potential.
Fat Loss Exercise
By combining cardio and resistance training you will greatly improve your ability to burn fat. Short bursts of high intensity exercise such as running, elliptical trainers and stepping will boost the number of calories you burn both during exercise and after and the more calories you burn, the more fat you will burn and the greater your fat loss will be. Resistance training will also help in a number of ways. Resistance training not only builds muscles (and the more muscles you have the more calories you will burn), but helps to strength and tone your body so you will look and feel slimmer as well.
Fat Loss Food
Forget strict diets when you are trying to achieve your fat loss goals. Diets send your body into starvation mode and cause you to store fat rather than burn it. Stick to eating small regular meals that combine wholegrain cereals and complex carbohydrates; healthy fats (such as avocado, olive oil and LSA); and low fat proteins. By eating regularly, you will keep your metabolism raised and will continue to burn fat and calories. Another bonus of eating regularly is that you won’t get hunger so there is less chance of choosing an unhealthy snack.
Fat loss training can be made easier by knowing what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. Regular exercise, small meals and plenty of water will go a long way to help you achieve your fat loss goals. Another tip when trying to lose body fat is to set realistic goals. You are more likely to achieve your fat loss goals if they are realistic and achievable.
