3 Killer Exercise Tips To Burn Fat Lightning Fast - This Will Have You Easily Burn Fat Like Crazy!

Exercises to burn fat fast can be a challenge. However, if you take note of the following 3 awesome exercise tips, not only will you find it more EASIER to get in great shape, you will actually receive mind-blowing results faster than you ever thought possible!

1.) The first amazing exercise tip is to break up your workout routine. What I mean by that is for example; Instead of exercising for 45 minutes, break it up into small exercise sessions throughout the day (such as 10 minute workouts done 4 times a day)! This reason this type of exercising works so well is because first, it's VERY easy to stick to, second, you will seriously increase your metabolism, and third, you will burn off fat much more effectively and quicker.

2.) The next tip is another option based off what I just mentioned in #1. If you would rather do you workout in one shot, then another way you can make your exercise very simple and still be able to burn up to 20% more fat than normal exercising is take a short break during your cardio routine! The reason this will do wonders is because this will actually increase your bodies fat burning hormones!

3.) The next killer tip for exercising to burn fat off LIGHTNING fast is to exercise as soon as you awake. You see, the reason doing this works like a charm is because of the following:

Throughout the day, your body relies on carbohydrates that you eat from your daily meals for energy. Also, when you sleep, your body will use carbs as well to ensure the body functions properly during rest. Now, this is where the fat burning trick comes in:

When you first awake in the morning, WITHOUT eating anything (especially carbs), and then you do an exercise session, the energy your body needs to perform the workout has to come from somewhere, right? Well guess what? If your body doesn't have carbohydrates to supply for energy, then what it will do is take a detour and start using STORED BODY FAT as the source of energy!

If that wasn't enough, working out first thing in the morning will also give you an additional boost in energy all day long and will also help keep your metabolism remain active throughout the day as well! A faster running metabolism is what will have you burn off a lot of calories, and therefore lose a lot of weight and stubborn body fat!

Burn Fat - The Target Heart Rate To Exercise At

I guess you have previously heard or read "common fat loss wisdom" urging you to go for higher reps and to rest less between sets when trying to lose fat.

But the truth is: an effective fat burning workout should NOT be designed around some number of repetitions or specific resting times.

Burn The Fat

The role of those elements is none other than serving your primary goal, which is "Training in your Optimal Fat Burning Zone."

In other words, "Training in your Optimal Fat Burning Zone" would be the Pillar in designing your workouts, and all of the other elements such as reps, pace and rest time would be determined accordingly.

So how do you find out what your Optimal Fat Burning Zone is?

First, your fat burning zone should be determined according to your Target Heart Rate.

And since the intensity (thus effectiveness) of your fat burning workouts should be measured according to your target heart rate, then having a heart rate monitor handy is an absolute necessity.

What is the Target Heart Rate anyway?

The target heart rate is the Zone you should be training in, and which is measured in Number of Heart Beats per Minute. It is calculated according to your Maximum Heart Rate. And to monitor it, you need a Heart Rate Monitor.

Now this Target Heart Rate or Optimal Fat Burning Zone has stirred up many heated debates:

Old theory proponents and fitness conservatives would tell you that the best way to burn fat is with Long, Low-intensity workouts (BORING workouts that is).

Therefore, they set the fat burning zone at 60% - 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate (or even 55%-65%); They justify their opinion by saying that a body going at this pace relies mainly on fat rather than sugar as its primary fuel.

BUT,

What these folks fail to see is the fat burning effect occurring After the training session; they limit themselves to measuring the amount of calories burned During the workout.

And the fact is these Slow-go Lengthy workouts burn fat Only During the training session itself.

HOWEVER,

If you want a Non-Stop fat burning effect that lasts for several hours After the training's over, you should opt for High Intensity Training.

What does that mean?

It means that your Target Heart Rate or Fat Burning Zone should be set at 75% - 85% of your Maximum Heart Rate. This is by far the BEST range for getting an optimum fat burning workout and staying in a fat burning mode.

Now to determine your Target Heart Rate, you should:

1- Calculate your Maximum Heart Rate (MaxHR):

-------------------------------------------------------------

The simplest, most basic formula to calculate your MaxHR is by subtracting your age from 220.

MaxHR= 220 - Age.

So if you're 30 years old, then your MaxHR = 220 - 30 = 190 BPM (Beats per Minute).

2- Find your Target Zone:

---------------------------------

Now to find your Target Zone, you should calculate the 75% - 85% of MaxHR

So for a 30 year old man,MaxHR = 190BPM

Target Zone = (0.75 x 190) - (0.85 x 190)

Target Zone = 142 - 162 BPM

So the 142 - 162 BPM should be the Minimum and Maximum Beats per Minute of a 30 year old person during his training session; those beats would be displayed by the Heart Rate Monitor that person is wearing.

Easy, isn't it? Start implementing the 75% - 85% Max HR in your workouts and watch your flab decrease by the numbers.
