subject: Is There A Best Fat Burning Exercise? [print this page] Is There A Best Fat Burning Exercise? Is There A Best Fat Burning Exercise?
The best answer to that question is that there is indeed a best fat burning exercise for everyone. Inside we are all biologically the same, for the most part. However, we all have a different metabolic rate and ability to process fats, carbs and proteins.
Just as we all have different metabolisms; many people will respond to one exercise, while another just isn't as effective. If you have an excellent metabolism, almost any type of exercise including walking instead of driving will cause you to lose weight quickly.
The vast majority of people who are seeking to lose weight fall into the "slow" category -- meaning they have a moderate to slow metabolic rate. There are many reasons why we gain extra weight, be it pregnancy, office work, poor diet, or even sickness.
The best fat burning exercise is anything that makes your cardiovascular system work at about 70% of your maximum heart rate, for at least 20 minutes per day. While you can take a day or two off per week, it's important to get your heart rate up for a minimum of 3 days per week, or preferably more.
Should I buy something?
If you need some extra motivation and can't seem to stick to a routine: Buy yourself a DVD or exercise system of some sort -- perhaps a gym membership if you don't already have one. Some people need to feel a sense of commitment to live up to their true potential. There are many systems that claim to have the "best fat burning exercise" on the market. The truth is almost any commercially available weight loss program will have something that works for everyone and are well worth it if you need the extra push/guidance.
Whatever you decide to do for fat burning exercise: Stick to it and you will realize your goals. Become inconsistent and any routine is doomed to failure.
