Exercise to Burn Fat





I'm on a strict diet, I watch my food intake very carefully, especially the portions of the food I'm taking, still I wonder, why my weight loss is so slow. How can I speed it up a little. Spring will be here before we know it and I need to fit back into that bathing suit. I hate going to the beach looking like some of those people that should not be seen out in public wearing a bathing suit. I am 57 years old, I know I will never look like a 25 year old, but I want to look the best I can for my age. I have seen some women my age who have a very nice shape. How is it possible to achieve that?

Can I make my stomach smaller by doing crunches? Doing crunches will tighten up your stomach muscles, it will burn a little fat, but not much, but it will not give you a flat stomach. You cannot obtain a flat stomach just by doing crunches. You still need to watch what you eat. The muscle fibers can be nice and tight, but if the fat is still there between the muscles and the skin tissue,you will surely hate your tummy.

Weight lifting alone may not be very helpful to burn fat either, not unless you do exercises that work many muscles simultaneously. Doing curls, presses, pull ups and other exercises may also not be able to increase your heart rate enough in order to burn fat. They may be wonderful for toning and building muscle mass, which use up more calories than fat, but will not burn a significant amount of fat.

In order to burn fat, you need to increase your heart rate. Get a little breathless. Excerpt some energy. You need to sweat a bit. Lifting weights will increase your metabolism which is quite helpful, but in order to burn fat, you need to do cardio workouts.

What is the best cardio workout for burning fat? I have not been running or jogging for awhile. I don't need to start off like I just signed up for a marathon. Although that can be a very good goal. You may sign up for one and give yourself a deadline to get into shape for it. All you need to raise your heart beat and burn fat is a good brisk walk. Start off walking about 15 minutes daily if you are really out of shape. Be sure to stretch before you start walking. You will need to walk at a fast pace of about 3 miles an hour and this will wear on your tendons and muscles giving you a lot of pain the next day if you don't. Sometimes even during the time you are walking you will experience pain. Listen to your body and don't over exert yourself. Don't injure yourself. Then it could be a week or longer before you can start to walk again.

In order to burn fat or calories, you need to follow a program of cardio and diet. If doing cardio, you don't have to do as strict of a diet but you do need to watch your portions.

Try to find a routine that works for you. Start off slow and gradually increase your walking as you are comfortable with it. Find a partner or a pet to walk with you. Enjoy your walk, it makes this whole dieting and working out so much more enjoyable.

I'm ready to pull out that bathing suit and try it on each week to see if it looks any better than the last. I know it will. It's time to get serious and burn fat.

What is a good diet? A low carbohydrate diet can be a good option to start a weight loss program but it may not be beneficial in the long run. Your body uses carbohydrates for energy.

Lost weight too, but it's very unhealthy for you. You have no extra energy to do the things you need to do. When you start eating again,...

Remarks like, “that's the last thing they need. “ Why is an overweight person considered to be unfit to eat anything sweet.
