Fat Burners

[davidwalton]

Fat burning tips:-

Burning fat requires continuous smooth movements so learn to develop a rhythmic style when exercising

Breath slightly deeper and use a little more lung capacity for effective fat burning

Do not hold breath during exercise!

If an individual increases their effort by performing a more intense exercise they WILL burn more calories however, because oxygen cannot always be delivered to the hard-working cells in sufficient quantities, cells are forced to burn more carbohydrates in order to keep up with increasing demand. If the level of exertion continues to increase then glucose eventually becomes the predominant energy source for muscles as this quick-burning fuel does not require oxygen.

It means to burn fat directly we should exercise at a lower level of effort and for longer duration. However some people just don't have the time to exercise for longer periods. The only way to burn fat quickly is to increase the metabolism through anaerobic exercise so we burn the fat indirectly.

I joined a gym to try to get some body fat off. I've found that the body fat has decreased, but I'm actually getting heavier because of the increased muscle mass.

Can't go wrong with a nice bit of speed.

having lost a fair bit of weight (rapidly with weigh watchers about 3 yrs ago) I am currently about 14stone (was 16.5 stone) and only 5'10"

I have a similar problem and have found that swimming helps - I started on my own to improve endurance - could only do 2 lengths crawl non-stop - then after I could do 1000m+ I joined a tri club. My body is noticeabley more shapely but my moobs and tum are still there. I think I just need to cut down on food.

Amazingly I also run now too, and even enjoy it - it helps to be able to do it on business trips (off along the shore of Lake Geneva tonight!)

Just take it easy, and forget supplements. It could be if you are flabby around the middle that liposuction helps?
