Fat Loss Exercises for Obese Men and Women

Fat Loss Exercises for Obese Men and Women
Fat Loss Workouts for Obese Men & Women do not have to be
long slow cardio workouts.

Fat loss for obese people can follow the same strength
training and interval training workout guidelines that fat
loss for advanced people will follow, but we just need to
adjust the exercises and intensity. The principles remain
the same.

Obese people need to get stronger and use resistance
training to build muscle so they can do cardio type events.

Most people work backwards, doing lots of cardio first, but
that only guarantees an injury.

You need to do strength training first to prepare the
muscles to be able to handle the repeated stress of cardio
training.

In a fat loss resistance training workout for obese men and
women, we'll use multi-muscle exercises. We'll do them in
superset pairs. And yes, we'll even use interval training
for this. It will be modified, but we can still do it.

Recently, my friend and nutrition expert Dr. Chris Mohr
interviewed me on how an obese person can use strength
training and interval training for fat loss.

Q: Craig, what do you do if you have an extremely obese
individual who is totally inactive -- is a program of
strength training and interval training still the best
recommendation?

Answer: Yes, it still is.

This is a much better approach than telling an obese person
to go and run for 30-60 minutes per day.

I have designed a strength training and interval training
system working with men and women from 14-75, and my
experience included many obese men and women along the way,
including men over 300 pounds and women over 225 pounds.

Provided their doctor approved them for exercise, we were
ready to go and get them using strength training and even
beginner interval training.

Any sedentary individual, man or woman, needs to start
there.

In fact, the very first phase is performed with 90% of the
exercises done lying on the ground. Users are shocked to
see how hard LYING exercises can be...but they are the
perfect blend of safety and intensity for overweight,
inactive folks.

The perfect starting point.

That brings up one other thing...and the main point
beginners need to understand is that NUTRITION is the key
to fat loss in the first couple of weeks when they are
getting back into exercise.

Folks will get more results from following nutritious meal
plans that focus on having them cut back on processed foods
and sugar. That said, they need to choose an exercise
program that will build them up for future training
sessions...and that's what strength training and interval
training workouts do.

On the other hand, if inactive folks launch right into a
serious cardio/endurance program, they'll get a sour taste
of the "Dark Side of Cardio" pretty quick, putting them in
the Doctor's office with overuse injuries.

So choose your fat loss weapons wisely when just starting
out!

If you are a beginner, make sure to check with your doctor
before starting a new diet or exercise program.
