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 Loss Exercise - Program Analysis

By Jose Loni

Fat loss exercise programs should be analyzed. Exercise programs are not all the same; you have to find one that is perfect for you. Resistance training and interval training are a great way to lose fat and give you the results that you want.

We need to have a schedule of exercise that will give us the results that we want. Sometimes we train and still don't have effective results. We need to look at what method works and it's not necessarily what you do, but rather how you do it, in order to get the results that you want.

Resistance training increases our metabolism by increasing our lean body mass. When we train with weights, the body increases its metabolic activity and continues to burn fat even when you are not exercising.

Isolation exercises such as leg extensions, hamstring curls, and bicep curls are single joint exercises. These types of exercises are not very effective in burning fat. It is better to focus on multi-joint exercises.

Using low repetitions in weight training helps increase the body's fat burning capability. Exercises that utilize multi-joint movements such as squats, split-squats, chin-ups, push ups, rows, step-ups, dead lifts and lunges work many muscles and end up burning more calories and increasing the body's post exercise metabolism.

Interval training has proven that high intensity exercise is more superior to slow, steady aerobic exercise. The quick burst of activity done at a high intensity is the best way to keep our body burning fat after the workout has ended.

Interval training causes the body to function in a lowered oxygen state. This causes the body to work even harder to bring oxygen to the muscles to repair, replenish and remove waste from the muscles. The increased metabolic activity of the muscles increases its energy consumption and promotes greater fat burning.

Program design needs to be assessed in order to get the fat loss exercise results that you wish. Finding the perfect program is the key to getting ripped abs. When you incorporate weight training and interval training, you will be better able to get fat loss results quicker and easier.
