Cardiovascular health is the key to burning fat

So, you want to burn fat but you do not want to kill yourself at the gym. Here is a simple workout designed to help you burn fat. Please note that this fat burning workout only works the legs and not any other muscle group. Also, make sure to alter the weight to suit your own body.

Strength Training In order to maximize fat loss, we begin with weight lifting exercises. Notice that each exercise focuses on a different part of the leg muscle group. If you are unfamiliar with the names of the exercises or the machines, make sure you ask a trainer or browse the internet for more information.

Exercise 1: Hip Abductors - 30 Ibs, 10-12-15 reps per set (reps/set). Make sure to go both directions! Exercise 2: Lever Squat - 30 Ibs, 10-12-15 reps/set. Exercise 3: Lying Leg Curl - 30 Ibs, 10-12-15 reps/set. Exercise 4: Calf Raise - 30 Ibs, 20-25-30 reps/set.

Abdominals ("abs") Working the abs is extremely important to burning fat. There are three main sub groups: lower abs; upper abs and obliques. The exercises below will work each sub group, respectively.

Exercise 1: Lying Leg Raises - 15 reps/set. For this exercise, position yourself on a flat bench with your lower body hanging off the edge. Make sure to grasp a stationary object with your hands. While keeping your legs straight, raise them toward your head, then lower them back to a horizontal position (do not allow them to go lower than the bench).

Exercise 2: Lying Crunches - 30 reps/set.

Exercise 3: Ball Twists - while seated on the ground (or preferably a mat), keep your knees together. Hold a medicine ball with both hands and then twist your torso and arms to one direction until the ball touches the mat. Then, twist your upper body to the other side until the ball touches the mat. This is one rep. Do 20 reps.

Do all three exercises three times.

Cardiovascular ("cardio") Cardiovascular health is the key to burning fat. The reason why also strength train is so that the calories you consume when you feed are directed to rebuilding muscle instead of turning to fat). This helps to keep the weight off.

20 minutes on your favorite cardio machine: crossramp; stair master; elliptical or exercise bike. The treadmill is usually not recommended because it requires the least amount of effort. If you can, always choose the "weight loss" program on the cardio machine.

All done! A quick and easy fat burning workout designed to help you lose the fat and keep it off for good.
