subject: Burn Fat Faster With This Killer Workout Plan [print this page] To get fast fat burning results, you need to start lifting heavy weights regularly. Your workouts should only consist of multi-joint compound lifts that move the weight a long distance.
Don't be afraid to lift heavy weights in fear that you will 'bulk up.' The truth is that it's extremely hard to get big no matter what gender you are. Many women think that if they touch a dumbbell they will immediately get huge. Thinking this way will only make it harder for you to reach your fitness goals!
Some example exercises are power cleans, deadlifts, squats, bench press, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, and bent-over rows. Notice that all these exercises utilize more than one joint and work a large muscle mass. The trick is to work out all the muscle on your body each time you lift. Doing so will increase your resting metabolic rate a great deal as your body expends energy repairing all your muscle.
Pick about 6 exercises that will collectively work your whole body.
For example:
* 1 chest exercise (bench press)
* 2 back exercises (pullups, bent over rows)
* 2 leg exercises (squats, deadlifts)
* 1 other (such as power cleans which work upper and lower body)
Doing about 3 sets of 10 reps on each exercise will give you a killer full body workout. Pick a weight that feels a little light to start so you get all the movements down and develop good form. After doing the workout a few times, you will develop a feel for which weight is best for each exercise.
Remember, you only have to workout for 45 minutes or so each session. Much more than that and your body will actually start working against you and begin to burn your muscle for energy.
