subject: These Simple Exercises Will Melt Fat Like Butter In A Hot Skillet [print this page] If you'd like to lose a few pounds, join the club. Most people today would count themselves in that category. Of course, there is a plethora of information out there regarding weight loss, so it can be a bit confusing. Most people realize that you need both a proper diet and exercise to lose weight, and keep it off for the long run. In this article, I'll be talking about exercise.
By far, the most useful and efficient exercises are the ones that increase your metabolism. That way you will burn more fat around the clock instead of only when you are exercising. The idea is to maximize your metabolism with the least amount of effort.
Unfortunately, this is where most people go wrong. Most assume that the more you exercise, the more weight, and fat you'll lose. So people join gyms and health clubs and proceed to spend an hour or so every night running or cycling away, hoping to burn off the fat. While this is an effective way to lose weight, it's not the most efficient.
The best way is to do high repetitions of low weights that target your large muscle groups. When you work you entire body, your metabolism will skyrocket. If you've seen long distance runners, you know that while they are skinny, they lack upper body muscle definition.
A great way to work most of your large muscle groups is through body weight exercise. These are easy, quick, and you don't need any special equipment. You can do them right next to your bed when you wake up in the morning. And you likely know how to do them, anyway. Sit ups, push ups, squats, back bridges, and any form of yoga. If you know anybody that is an avid yoga practitioner, you know they likely have a lean, thin, muscular body.
Once you start doing just a few minutes of these a day, you'll be completely amazed at how quickly you will see results. And once you start to see just a few small results, you'll be hooked for good, and on your way to life long fitness and health.
