3 Vital Principles You Must Know To Burn Fat Faster
from:By now, most people realize that adding lean muscle mass to your body does wonders for your metabolism and fat loss, as well as a host of other benefits that allow you to live out your life as healthy as possible. Unfortunately, most people I see performing weight training or resistance training at the gym are spending too much time with the exercise and not working hard enough.
They're not going to burn very much fat this way. The secret I’ve found is that training for lean muscle and strength requires the proper application of three vital elements that are often ignored by those who attempt it. Those three elements are:
-Intensity
-Volume & Frequency
-Progression
The intensity is how hard it is to perform for you, given your current condition. The volume and frequency are how much and how often you perform the exercise. The progression is related to how much the demands increase from workout to workout. Most times, weight training, is carried on for too long and performed too many times per week. It is unfortunately treated much the same way as so-called fat burning aerobic exercise. But they are vastly different forms of exercise. In fact, they’re complete opposites.
Aerobic exercise typically is characterized by low to moderate intensity, high volume and frequency, and little progression.
Anaerobic exercise, or weight training, must be performed at a high intensity, lower volume and frequency, and with progression to be as effective as possible. No amount of weight training performed at a low or moderate intensity will provide significant muscle or strength building benefit beyond the first few weeks. On a high level view, it is simply the combination of sufficient intensity, coupled with attempting to increase either the number of repetitions of a weight training exercise or the amount of weight used each and every workout that will keep your body evolving into the ultimate fat burning machine!
You also have to pay attention to other details when creating an effective and efficient routine to maximize your workout and minimize your time spent in the gym. Why? Because perhaps even more important that the workout itself is the rest period that follows. You’re not going to get stronger or more muscular if you don’t rest.
You see, when you strength train properly, you are creating tiny injuries to your muscles. You then have to let the body repair itself, and then overcompensate and build upon the already existing amount of muscle mass you have. If you workout again before that process in completed, you’ll experience lackluster, if any, muscle building or fat burning results. So make sure to get proper rest between workouts, which typically means a minimum of 1 to 3 full days of rest between properly executed resistance workouts.
Now upon hearing the idea that you’ve got add muscle to your body to ensure the maximum fat burning environment, a lot of people, women especially, start thinking, “But I don’t want to get bigger, I want to lose weight!” But this is such a shame, because it’s very unlikely to happen, and countless women are losing out on these fat burning benefits because of it. You see, most men and almost all women simply lack the necessary genetic traits required to produce such muscle gains that would cause them to look bulky or overly-developed to most people. These traits include testosterone levels, muscle fiber makeup, muscle belly length, and others.
Those competitive bodybuilders you’ve seen on TV and in the magazines are the genetic cream of the crop for muscle development and they are typically on heavy doses of anabolic steroids, growth hormone, and other bodybuilding drugs. Don’t be fooled by these images, or those that scare you into thinking this way. Also, lean muscle is more compact that fat, as it takes up less space in your body, so you will actually be getting smaller when replacing the fat on your body with lean muscle.
Please understand that you’re putting yourself in the best position to succeed with your fat loss and fitness goals when you perform properly conducted intense resistance training, no matter who you are. But make sure you understand and apply the three critical principles I discussed above. If you don’t, you’ll ultimately be unhappy with your results, both in your ability to burn fat and realize the lean, strong, and healthy body you deserve.

Diet Watch - A Top 10 program

I weighed in three days before my 32nd birthday and I was at 175.6. That is a 50 pound difference in two years.
The pictures above reflect that change. The one of me in black is from two years ago. I had just turned 30 and I weighed 225. The picture of me in red is from this past August. My husband took the picture right before we went out to celebrate my 32nd birthday. I weighed 175. Not too bad, huh? I want everyone to know that I wouldn't have gotten this far without all of the wonderful people in the Friends discussion group on Diet Watch.

Lose
Fat, Not Faith
_____________________________________
Lose Fat, Not Faith, was developed
by Jeremy Likeness. Jeremy himself was an
individual that found himself 65 lbs overweigh and a couch potato, and he mentioned
,
“That I was killing myself. “ His heartfelt resolution in his life, has become
the
answer for many. This is a realistic, no hype program. The thing that
really impresses
about Lose Fat, Not Faith, is that he deals with the issues that cause us to gain
weight
in the first place. So many systems teach you how to lose weight but don’t
change the
reason in your life that got you there in the first place. Lose Fat, Not Faith
shows you
how to have an inner confidence, and rational resolution to deal with the reason
you
gained your weight in the first place. Jeremy is dead on, with this
system.
If you find yourself eating for what seem like no reason, just to eat.
Chances are you
are emotionally eating. There is something causing to eat without your realizing
it. You need
to sincerely get this program. This will help you to deal with the real reason
for your
weight. He also deals with educating you in dealing with the bad behaviors
that you have
learned and finding alternatives.

Let's see, do you have enough space for all that has happened since I have lost my weight so far? When I started this program on May 6, 2005 I weighed 281.1 lbs. I was having severe back and knee problems to the point I was having to go to the emergency room. Now since I am a CT Tech in a hospital and work mainly out of the ER, you can imagine the last place I want to go on my time off is back to work.. haha. Well, I finally reached my bottom emotionally and decided I needed to do something about it. Technically, I qualified for the BARIATRIC surgery but having seen several friends have it and have complications from it (including one dying), I decided that as long as I can walk, then I can do something about my weight |
I knew what had worked in the past for me and realized that it was when I was living at home and my parents cooked our meals that made it so successful. I don't like to cook and it never made sense to cook for one person. I researched the internet for programs that provided my food for me. I really wanted one that had real food rather than processed food. My sister sent me your website because she had heard of it from a friend. I read and read and thought about it and came to the conclusion that this was probably the one for me. Boy was I right!!
The food is fantastic
and I love the fact that I don't have to cook or clean
up!! I can tell you that in the 1 1/2 yrs that I have been losing weight,
I haven't had problems with my knees or back, my feet and lower legs don't swell,
I am exercising and now even training for the Walt Disney Half Marathon in speed
walking! Next goal will be a mini triathlon. I have tried rock climbing...and even
made it up to the top of the wimp wall (the easiest one). It was so weird,
when I started that climb, my fat self was saying that there is no way that I can
climb it but my new skinnier self was saying yes I can because I am healthier now
and I was right. I now have men looking at me, flirting with me and that is
so foreign. I have been heavy pretty much all of my life and never really
got the guy's attention. I haven't quite figured out how to handle it yet,
but is sure is fun trying... Everyday, someone either at work or when I am
out and about, will make a comment on how great I am doing.
