How To Burn All Body Fat

Whoa! Hold on there if you want to burn ALL your body fat you are going to be in trouble because your body needs at least some fat to survive

. More specifically, if you are a man you need 2-4% and a woman needs 10-12%. But, since you were looking for information on burning all body fat I assume you want to get down as low as you can.

OK the, let us look at the situation. Athletes are typically at 6-13% body fat for men and 14-20% for women. You will begin to see your abdominal muscles at under 10% body fat for men and 16% for women.

So now that you understand the basics and we have a goal to shoot for, let us figure out the best way to get there. A single pound of fat takes 3,500 calories to burn. That is a lot of work when you consider that you only burn 2,000 calories in an average 24 hour period. Most people resort to running long distances or doing other cardio exercises in order to burn fat. This is an alright way however, even if you spend an hour on the Stairmaster you are only going to burn about 500 calories. Believe me I know. I did it for months and did not see much in the way of results. Even after an hour you will still have about 6 more hours to go to burn that pound of fat.

The best way to burn body fat is to maximize your fat burning ability for extended periods of time and the best way to do this is by using a kettlebell (KB). This is a Russian piece of weight lifting equipment that looks like a cannonball with a handle. Studies have shown that you can lose up to 20 calories a minute and up to 1% of body fat a week using one of these.

The best way to use it is in a high intensity interval training format where you are moving from one exercise to another with only a short period of rest in between. Because there is a cardiovascular element involved with KBs that is not typically available with lifting weights you will be very winded very quickly and your workout may only last 20 minutes or less.

Here is a typical workout scenario.

One armed cross over clean and press, one armed snatch, high pulls, military press

Remember, you want to move from one exercise to another as quickly as possible with only a brief rest in between. When you get to the end start over and do the circuit as many times as possible.
