Best Way to Lose Fat or How to Lose Belly Fat Fast
Steve Wells
Most overweight people want to lose the excess pounds, the fat, but they don't want to jog, because they get problems with their knees.
In order to avoid this, you can use a stationary bike with a pulse monitor . This way you can be sure that your training is effective .
Actually, most people who start jogging don't use a pulse watch and run too fast . This way they burn carbohydrates (the last meal they had) instead of the fat. They come home hungry and eat even more calories than they have burned jogging.
So, if you use a pulse watch your training will be much more effective. But before you start, you need to find out your maximum heart rate (MHR) to define the intensity of your training.
The basic formula for the maximum heart rate: 220 your age. For example: If you are 32 years old, your MHR is 188.
There are 5 heart zones , expressed as a percentage of your MHR, that reflect exercise intensity and the result benefit:
1) The Healthy Zone : 50-60 % of your MHR (If you are 32, your healthy zone would be from 94 to 113). You will get healthier in this zone, but not more fit. And if your goal is to lose fat, you should train in the Temperate Zone.
2) The Temperate Zone : 60-70 % of your MHR. (If you are 32, your temperate zone would be from 113 to 132). This zone is also called the "fat burning zone" because up to 85 % of the total calories burned in this zone are fat calories which is equally as important.
There are 3 more zones: The Aerobic Zone (70-80 % of your MHR), in which you're metabolizing fats and carbohydrates at about a 50-50 rate, the Anaerobic Zone (80-90 %) and the Redline Zone (90-100 %).
If you want to lose fat, you should train primarily in the Temperate Zone . This is arguably the best way to lose fat as it is extremely effective. If you are in a good shape, you can rotate between the Temperate and the Aerobic Zone.
You can also try Cardiovascular Interval Training : short (about 8-20 minutes) high-intensity cardio that involves "bursts" of exertion followed by short recovery periods. An example would be a 10 second wind sprint, followed by a minute of light jogging, and so on for several minutes.
If you need more information on how to lose fat and complete training programs, I can recommend the 117-page Ebook called The Truth about Six Pack Abs. The 15 secrets for revving up your metabolism so that you can scorch away body fat on a 24/7 basis that you will find inside are priceless:
