Fat Burning Workouts Strategies

Is Exercising Three Times A Week Enough?

It is recommended that adults get a total of 30 minutes of physical activity on most, if not all days of the week.

I suggest that for three or four days this should involve more vigorous exercise lasting at least 30 continuous minutes. "Vigorous" means with your heart rate at around 70-85 per cent of it's maximum (220 beats per minute minus your age). If you simply want to maintain where you are at now, do 30 minutes of activity most days of the week.

If you want to improve fitness, lose weight or tone up, you will need to work harder, incorporating cardio and strength or resistance training into your routine.

Does Low Intensity Exercise Burn Fat?

You probably heard this one a lot: working at around 50-60 per cent of your maximum heart rate burns more fat than a workout at 70-85 per cent needed for boosting fitness.

While low intensity exercises is great for beginners (its low impact and most of the fuel that you burn is fat), exercising at a higher intensity is better for weight loss, because you burn more fat per minute plus a lot more kilojoules.

Should I Exercise On An Empty Stomach?

The theory is that if you don't eat before exercise you body burns fat stores as fuel. But it's not about the type of fuel your body is burning, its how much energy you expend overall.

Working out on an empty stomach you're likely to feel more tired and won't exercise as hard, while eating before exercise may give you more energy for a better workout.

Aim for a meal high in carbs, low in fibre and low in fat three hours before.

Top up carbs about an hour before you exercise - fruit, yoghurt or toasts are good.

 Within an hour after exercise, go for a meal of carbs and protein.
