Fat Burning Zone And Spot Reduction Exercises

Fat Burning Zone And Spot Reduction Exercises
The Fat Burning Zone is all just a big misunderstanding.
The truth is, exercising in the fat burning zone is a big
waste of time. You are better off doing short, burst
exercise to lose your belly fat.

There is nothing magical about the so-called "fat burning
zone".

By definition, the fat burning zone is the exercise
intensity where your body burns the highest proportion of
fat.

However, the fat burning zone is relatively low intensity
exercise, and burns less calories than if you worked at a
harder pace for the same amount of time.

The fat burning zone has never been shown in a study to be
more effective for fat loss than any other type of exercise.

The purpose of exercise is to burn calories during and
after exercise when the body is recovering from the
workout. The fat burning zone is generally low-intensity
exercise, but low-intensity exercise burns fewer calories.

Therefore, forget about this term and this fat burning
myth. Instead, use the interval training guidelines from
any of my weight loss workout programs to improve your
fitness, calorie burning, and fat loss.

And what about spot reduction exercises? Will you lose fat
from a specific area by doing certain exercises? What
exercises will help you lose my love handles?

The answer of course, is "No, you can't lose fat from a
specific area just by doing certain exercises."

This is also known as spot reducing, and just can't be
done. If we told you that there was one secret exercise
that could magically reduce the fat from one of your
trouble spots, then we'd be rich. But we'd also be lying.

Fat burning isn't like building muscle. When you strength
train to build muscle, you only make gains in the specific
muscles that were trained ("spot gaining"). But no exercise
has the ability to burn fat from one specific area only
("spot reducing").

When you exercise, you burn fat from all over your body.
Doing one thousand ab crunches won't help you lose your
belly fat any faster than a good total- body routine.

The best approach to fat loss is one that includes three
major components.

The first and possibly most important component is
nutrition. It is so important for people to follow good
nutrition principles when they are trying to improve their
body. If you haven't already heard these basic
recommendations for fat loss nutrition, here are the 5 best
fat loss nutrition tips:

1. Eat several small meals per day, rather than 2-3 large
meals.

2. Monitor your food intake using one of the free websites
that allow you to track your calories.

3. Determine how many calories you should eat per day to
maintain your bodyweight.

4. If you want to lose fat, start by reducing your food
intake by 200-300 calories per day below your maintenance
level and add 3 workouts per week using my workout programs.

5. Stop eating processed foods and replace all sweetened
beverages with water or Green Tea. This can quickly reduce
your food intake by hundreds of calories immediately.
