Exercise For Fat Loss

Some exercises help to burn more fat and also help in loss of fat from the body. These exercises include various kinds of cardio exercises that help the body to lose fat more effectively. There are two ways of losing fat in the body which includes the fast fat loss and the other is the slow fat loss. The cardio vascular exercises are one of the most effective forms of gradual weight loss. These exercises prove faster results when they are combined with healthy dieting, which is also a good form of burning fat.

The most effective forms of fat burning exercise for the body are aerobic training such as walking, riding a stationary bike, or running. All these exercises are the ideal way to accelerate the fat burning process. But it should be remembered that they are effective in loss of fat as long as it is not overdone and till it is done in addition to a good weight training program. These exercises should not be used as a substitute for weight training. This is said because they do not permanently increase your metabolism and also lack the ability to re-shape your body.

The fat burning zone of the body is one of the most effective areas of fat loss. These regions are usually targeted the most to lose overall fat in the body since spot fat reduction is not possible. It you want the aerobic exercises to be effective then they need to be performed within the fat burning zone. This fat burning zone is the area which is being worked upon the most to burn fat. The pulse rate, which is how fast your heart is beating per minute, determines this zone. The usual fat burning zone is

220 - (Your Age) x (.75).

The usual results of this formula will give you an approximate value about how fast the heart should be beating per minute. For example, if you are 20 years old then you would need to reach a pulse of about 150 beats per minute in order to be in the fat burning zone. This number is not an absolute figure but is an approximation which should be reached gradually. Usually the plus or minus 10 beats from the number that the formula provides is good enough to lose fat.

Also there are certain times when these aerobic activities prove to be the most effective. Hence if you have to raise the fat burning point to a target goal then your aerobic exercise should be performed at the appropriate times. Till date researches prove that there are only two times that aerobic exercise is effective in burning fat. These times include the mornings on empty stomach and immediately after weight training.

The morning on an empty stomach is the best time to perform cardiovascular exercise. It is suggested that these exercises should be done after drinking 16 to 24 ounces of water in order to prevent dehydration. Researches prove that performing these exercises at this time can help you burn 300% more body fat that at any other time. This happens because the does not have any glycogen or stored carbohydrates-sugar in the system to burn. Hence the fat stores are attacked directly by performing these exercises in the morning.
