While food functions as the crucial place in whether you'll destroy fatexcess fat or not, there are great workout to get rid of fat with also. Thetype of workouts that can boost-up your weight loss abilities and really get your metabolism going.
Not only that - weight losing isn't completely about "percentages", it's also about looking great. And exercise increases muscle tone and makes your body stronger giving you that "modelesque" look.
Here are 2 workouts to get rid of weight with:
1. Doing Burpees. The burpee is the one of the most powerful weight loss workouts. It gets rid of calories, gets the pumping of your heart and helps to stimulate the flow of blood throughout your body. It's also incredibly difficult, so creating goals like doing 100 burpees is very rewarding and can even befun. Here's how to do a burpee properly:
1. Drop down and do a push up.
2. Quickly stand back up.
3. Jump into the air.
4. Do the above 3 in all together at one time.
5. Repeat until tired.
2. Interval Training. While Interval Training or HIIT isn't exactly an exercise, it is a way ofworking out. Essentially, instead of doing long distance cardio you do "sprints" of exercises.
This is not only less time consuming than classical cardio but it has been shown to boost fat loss and give amazing results all around. Just to give an example of why this is great, look at how professional sprinters look (ripped), compared to long distance runners (who often look un-athletic).
If you're looking to both look good and be able to be strong and powerful for short bursts - than HIIT is for you. There are a couple of ways to do high intensity interval training. The first one is the most used method which most people should probably do. The second one is a method that is really mostly for athletes and people in amazing shape looking to challenge themselves - called the tabata. Either way, you should ask your doctor before starting either method.
Get yourself warmed up for five min. to help not get injured when doing either the tabata or normal method. This is the regular way of doing it:
1. Workout with a cardio workout like running or rowing for 1 minute at med. to high intensity.
2. Relax for one min (don't do any exercise.
3. Increase how good you are in shape until you can repeat it 8 times.
Here's the tabata method:
1. Do 30 seconds of super intensity on the exercise.
2. Do 30 seconds of low intensity.
3. Build up until you repeat to 8 times(it comes out to four min).
3. Go for a swim. Going for a swim is an awesome workout becuse it just burns so many calories. The good part about this is it decimates the excess weight/fat and it is also just a good thing to know. The problem with swimming is that it really does decimate and destroy a lot of fat.
This is a problem because you might get hunger-pains and want to eat a lot after a swim. I say that if you have a problem controlling how much you eat after a swim - then you might want to skip on this workout.
If you're new to swimming, I highly suggest taking some classes with a professional instructor. It's not only good exercise, but it'll give you a valuable skill for life. The swims I would say to do when you start are:
1. Crawl.
2. The back-stroke.
3. Breastroke.
I would skip on the butterfly in the beginning. As a note, there are some awesome youtube videos by Jimmy Shea to help improve your form, even for those of you who already know how to swim well.
Another really big advantage to it is that you tend to do much better with your diet when you know you're going to be seen in a bathing suit all the time. You'll also get more comfortable with your body as you improve. It's win-win!
In summary, if you're looking to get in amazing shape and burn the fat, the burpee, high intensity interval training and swimming are some of the best exercises to lose weight with.
