Fat Burning

Here are a few tips to maximize fat burning during your work outs:
  • Jogging/running at least 4 hours a week increases fat burning even when not working out. 
  • Working out harder in the beginning half of your work out increases fat burning by 23%
  •  During resistance training, lift weight slowly to build greater strength. Using free weight over machines activates the use of more muscle fibers. 
  • Work out in intervals of high intensity and low intensity during cardio. Doing several cycles of alternating between intensities burns more calories. Adding weight during cardio (like putting on a weight vest or carrying dumbells) also helps.
  • Listen to fast paced music while running to keep up a quick speed.
  • Exercising with kettle balls for 20 minutes can burn about the same amount of calories as running a 6 minute mile
  • Doing strength training before cardio burns more fat during a workout. Not pausing between strength exercises also torches extra calories and boosts endurance.
  • Bump up in weight and decrease reps
 
  • Have high protein meals especially for breakfast and lunch. For dinner have a smaller meal since you won't be burning many calories before bed.
  • Consume at least 1,200 calories a day to assure that your body does not enter starvation mode. When dieting, do not cut your intake drastically so that metabolism does not drop. Make a gradual change.
  • Limit meals to no more than 600 calories
  • Include monounsaturated fats (good fat) like olive oil, avocados in your diet
  • Substitute fruit juice for the actual fruit to skip out on added sugars
  • Make sure to have your daily recommended intake of vitamin C and D. Vitamin C (400-500 IU/day) helps burn fat and vitamin D (800 IU/day) aids in losing it.
  • Sleep for an average of 8 hours straight.
