While some people have called the tips which you'll find in this article secrets, they are in reality noting more than common sense. If you follow the four tips given in this article, you'll start seeing the results quick - you'll lose excess fat while building lean muscle mass before you know it.
The first is to stop worrying about burning fat in your workouts and instead focus in burning carbs. While this might seem to be strange, hear me out - burning carbs help you to lose fat more quickly and to continue burning off calories even after a workout; this will help you to lose that weight quicker.
With interval training using heavy resistance, you'll actually continue to burn calories for hours after your workout, unlike an old fashioned cardio workout and lifted light weights. This will help you to lose fat while building muscle.
The second tip involves using a range of repetition during your strength training exercises. For you to be able to train more muscle fibers and burn more calories, use a range of repetitions within the same workout session. Use between 5 and 12 reps per set in order to work the muscle the most effectively. Doing this will burn more carbohydrates and allow as much muscle growth as you can handle, but only if you are keeping the calories low. Call this getting the most results in the least amount of time.
Third, use a stationary bike as a part of your interval training - cycling using heavy resistance helps to maintain your muscle mass. A bike is also an easy way to let you continue to burn calories after a weight lifting workout.
Remember, I'm not talking about a relaxing ride here - you want fast pedaling spinning style here. Use high resistance to keep your body burning off fat more quickly. Only cycle using the highest resistance setting.
The last tip here is also common sense. Eat more - rather, eat more often. A recent study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that eating six times per day is more beneficial than eating three times a day and typically involves a lower calorie intake. You'll be able to keep cholesterol and insulin levels this way too. Eat more protein and fiber to see quicker results.
Remember, to lose fat, and more importantly, to see quick results, you've got to start to turn your thinking away from the traditional methods that aren't getting you the results you want. Use these four tips, and common sense, and watch the fat melt away.
