TRAINING FOR FAT LOSS
We all know that exercise is crucial for improving
fitness, increasing muscle size, loosing fat and for
overall well-being. Contrary to conventional
"wisdom", weight training is one of the best forms of
exercise for weight loss. Often, when I suggest weight
training to people (men and women) wanting to lose
weight, they instantly reply "Oh no, I don’t want to get
too big, Id rather do aerobics!" Many people still seem
to think weight training is only for bodybuilders and
rugby players. Don’t worry about getting "too big" -
weight training will not give you gargantuan muscles
overnight! Weight training will, however, help you
increase the amount of lean muscle on your frame, giving
you that attractive, lean, toned look which is desired
by both the sexes.
Muscle cells are energy-producing entities, and
consequently require caloric energy to function.
Building new muscle increases your basal metabolic rate,
meaning your body will require more calories just to
maintain its vital functions. The welcome result is that
your body will automatically burn more calories for
energy, 24 hours a day, 7days a week! Resistance
training is the best way to achieve this effect.
Most forms of aerobic exercise have little or no
muscle-building effect, and too much cardio (brisk
walk/jogging/skipping/swimming) can actually decrease
muscle mass. Don’t get me wrong - cardio is great for
improving your circulation and increasing your lung
capacity, two very important components of fitness. I
consider aerobic exercise, however, to be a
supplementary activity to weight training, not the
be-all-and-end-all of fat loss. For best results do
both, and keep your sessions short - around 45 minutes
to 1 hour. Weight training also helps to strengthen your
bones and tendons, which is essential for helping to
prevent injury as we age.
Among the weight training variations, I suggest circuit
training for those who are just looking to burn off that
chunk of fat. Those who are looking forward to build
muscles along with fat loss, then you should keep up to
normal weight training sessions.
Circuit Training:
The general idea of circuit training remains the same
with free weights. The idea is to increase aerobic
activity while still stimulating the muscles. This means
that circuit training is not used for bulking up.
Circuit training will help to maintain some strength and
assist in weight loss. Circuit training will not help
you to gain 10lbs of lean muscle. Circuit training is a
great substitute for those who do not like doing aerobic
exercises for fat loss. While it can never completely
replace aerobic exercise, circuit training can have some
of the same benefits.
Remember that the idea is to keep your heart rate up.
This means constant movement. Therefore you need to
consider all the equipment you will need for each set of
the circuit before beginning. This will allow you to
move quickly from one exercise to another.
The circuit-training workout is based on three days a
week, as this may work better for those attempting to
lose some fat. I suggest that you do aerobic exercise on
off days or at the end of your workout if time permits.
You should perform 10-15 minutes of warm-up aerobic
activity. (Break a sweat) The workout is designed to
move quickly through the exercises. No rest (or minimal
10 seconds) between sets. You will need to reduce the
amount of weight you normally use, as your muscles will
tire quickly. I suggest for the first week you attempt
to get through by repeating the exercises twice. If that
is too easy, then move to three times for each session
and graduate to four times. If you are successful at
meeting all the reps within four sets then it is time to
"Up" your weight.
Aerobic exercises:
Aerobic exercises of any type are a beneficial addition
to any weight loss and exercise program. There are many
different types of aerobic such as general aerobics
classes, step classes, taebo, etc. Neither of which can
be said to be better than the other.
When deciding on which type of aerobic exercises are
best for you keep in mind that for aerobics to be
beneficial, an individual simply needs to elevate
his/her heart-rate for an extended period of time (i.e.
30-60 minutes). This places the body in a temporary fat
burning state where the body utilizes fat tissue as its
main source of energy.
Also, since the definition of aerobics is any exercise,
which temporarily increases respiration and heartbeat,
this means that walking, jogging, rowing, swimming,
bicycling, and stair climbing are all excellent forms of
aerobic exercises. The key to doing aerobics is to
choose any exercise or exercises that you can continue
using for an extended period of time and weight loss
(along with increased health and fitness) will surely
follow.
Time: The best time for doing cardio aimed at fat
loss is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach -
this is when you burn the most fat. If you choose to do
it at any other time, make sure that you have fasted
atleast 4-6 hours before beginning your session, or do
it immediately following your weight training workout
(always after, never before weight training)
Pace: The pace should be moderate otherwise you
would be working towards cardiovascular endurance, not
fat loss.
Be Consistent: This can be the difference between
success and failure. Just wanting to lose weight is not
enough. You have to be willing to put up with the
temporary inconvenience that comes along with fat loss
dieting. However, if you really think about it, anything
in life that is worth having will cause some
inconvenience before you get it.
If its not a priority, then fine. Stop fooling yourself,
and wasting your time. Stop whining about losing weight,
and get on with your life.
But, if you really want it, then make it a priority in
your life, and do it. There should be nothing standing
between you and your goal. Until you reach your desired
body, you should be living, breathing and eating fat
loss.
