What is the best way to burn fat?

Many people ask that question when they need to lose or just control their weight. The answer to that question is both short and long at the same time. The short answer is a pretty straightforward one, and that is to exercise. The best way to burn fat is to get moving by doing something challenging. To burn fat, you must burn off excess calories. To burn calories you’ve got to get your body moving.

The kind of exercise and how to go about doing it is where the complications can come in. The best way to burn fat is doing both cardio and weight lifting exercises.

Usuallypeople think cardio is the only way to go in order to burn fat. Doing cardio will burn some calories but that is not the absolute best way to burn off the unwanted fat.

Doing cardio burns off fat at a higher rate than if you were resting and often uses it as a fuel source.

The key to burning off the most fat for your efforts is to increase the intensity of the exercise you are doing. Basically, you want to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. If you are sure that you can keep going at the pace you are exercising at, then there is a very good chance that you are not exercising hard enough to burn a decent amount of calories and make the effort worth your time in the long run.

While you are doing your workout there should be a little bit of doubt creeping into the back of your mind causing you to wonder whether or not you can keep up the pace for the duration of your routine.

You may be reading this and asking yourself, “Why do I need to push myself like that when I have read that I can just walk or jog to lose weight?” The reason for that is because for some reason many publications only like to give you partially true information.

It is true, you can lose weight by simply walking. The thing that no one tells you is exactly how much walking you need to do to burn enough calories to lose weight. It might be 2 to 4 miles needed to see the kind of progress you seek. A casual stroll may burn calories, but not enough for you to exercise for just one hour and be done. Increasing the intensity (speed, incline, step size, etc.) causes your body to work harder to complete the work. Harder work simply means more calories burned. The more calories you burn, the more fat you get rid of in the process.

Increase the speed of your treadmill if you are running the next time you go to the gym. Increase the incline on the treadmill if you are walking. Add more resistance to the elliptical or stairmaster. Do something to make the exercise a little harder and your body will thank you afterwards when the weight is gone.

Another thing to help ensure that you are doing your best to burn fat is resistance training. When you weight train properly, you can expect to burn the same amount of calories as you would in a good cardio session like I mentioned earlier. In addition to the initial calorie burn, you will keep burning calories at a faster rate for hours AFTER the workout is finished. If you only have time for either cardio or weight training and not both, the weight lifting should probably be your choice. Finding out exactly what exercises to do and how much weight to lift is a lengthy topic I will cover by itself, but just know that the best way to burn fat fast is to get weight lifting into your routine and keep it there.
