Best Exercise for Weight Loss and Fat Loss
By Peter Reyes
Let's face it, there's no magic bullet in weight loss. The closest to a magic bullet is exercise. We become overweight when we take in more calories than we burn up. To lose weight, we need to create a calorie deficit through diet, exercise or a combination of both.
Exercise is crucial to any weight loss program. According to statisics, making exercise a part of your weight loss program can increase your results by up to 50 percent.
Not only does exercise increase your metabolism during a workout, exercise also cause your metabolism to stay increased for a period of time after exercising, which means you burn more calories.
All exercise, regardless whether it is cardio or strength training, burns calories. However, certain types of exercise burn more calories than others – cardio exercise is probably the best exercise for weight loss and maximum fat burning.
Cardiovascular exercise or cardio for short is an activity that involves the use of large muscles (such as legs) in the body continuously for at least 20 minutes or more.
There are various types of cardio exercises which can be done indoors and outdoors, and some of these include treadmill, stationary bicycle, rope jumping, jogging, inline skating, swimming, and skiing.
Most fitness expert agree that doing cardio exercises first thing in the morning, before eating, is the most effective for weight loss.
When cardio exercise is performed prior to eating breakfast, the body burns stored fat (instead of carbs) and as a result, burns calories. And, for maximum weight loss, working out for a period of 60 minutes at moderate intensity, 3 to 5 times a week is recommended.
Always check with your doctor before you begin any form of exercise.
