Dieters Slim May Be A Little Misleading

Though it is what they want to do Slimming should not be so hard yet there are literally thousands if not millions that could do with shedding a few pounds of unwanted fat. This is personal to me as I have gained and lost many pounds over the years with the help of diets, tonics, programs and even the dreaded exercises.

What does a dieter need to slim?

The most important thing I found I needed to lose weight was a mental picture of what I wanted to look like. This I constantly kept in my mind all the time. It was never exact just really a thought I would think like; " I am trim or I am light or even I look great and thin". Then I had to choose a diet. The truth is there are many many diets that would help anyone slim out there. We all know just by being slimmer it has a great anti aging effect on us. You just need to investigate them to see if they fit into your life and plans and will actually work for you specifically.

Fat Burning Techniques - See How To Get More Out Of Your Workout

By Heather Hughes

Would you like to know how to triple your results from your resistance training, and get the best fat burning workout? Of course your do!

Optimized resistance training can give you amazing fat loss results (you will be really surprised). It will also give you muscle and strength gains.. beach body here we come! On top of that, when using the techniques described in the Fat Burning Furnace eBook, you will also get heart health benefits as well. The best thing is that this is all from 2 to three workouts each week lasting just 15-20 minutes each.

Now to get the most fat burning out of your workouts, you may need to adjust your technique. Most people don't know how to take advantage of their resistance training like they should. In fact, when you walk into a gym, you will find that over half the people are not doing their workouts correctly, and this is just an estimate.

Let's get right to one of the best ways you can get the best fat burning workout and triple your resistance training results today. It has to do with how you specifically perform the repetitions of your sets. To get a good understanding, let's look at the 3 different levels of strength for any resistance exercise.

As an example, let's look at dumbbell curls, they work your biceps. When you are doing dumbbell curls, you start out with the dumbbells at your sides. Then you move the weight slowly up to your shoulders. What this movement does is train your positive strength level. Then right before you bring the weights back down, you pause for a short amount of time, and contract your biceps. This trains your static strength level.

Next, you bring your arms down slowly to the starting position. This trains your negative strength level.

This is the problem... most people don't even bother with the static of negative strength levels. They put all of their focus on the "lifting" or positive portion of the exercise, and don't pause or contract enough at the top. They also don't take nearly enough time with the negative part of the movement.

Basically because of this they are only getting one third of the benefits that this exercise can give them. And actually, it is not even that much, because the static and negative portions can actually create deeper inroads into your existing strength levels. This is a good thing, and is something that you want to achieve, because it will lead to greater progress faster assuming that you give your body enough time to recover.

Why do you need strength? Well, besides the fact the you will feel better and look better when you are stronger, there are some other benefits as well. Strength leads to more muscle, which in turn is the magic needed to rev up you metabolism, which them helps you to burn fat much faster. There are many other health benefits also, but I would just take up way to much room listing them.

The next thing that you want to learn is exactly how to optimize every piece of your fitness plan to melt the fat off your body, because a lean fit body is the fun part.

So be sure to not neglect the static and negative strength levels when you do your next exercises. When you do you will triple your results.
