Weight loss exercises that can make you lose 10 pounds

There are so many misconceptions about weight loss nowadays. Aside from that, there are many fast weight loss companies that tell you to cut down on your calorie intake. There are some that say that you don’t have to as long as you stick with your weight loss exercises. There are also those that take takes the safe side and tells you to have a good diet regimen paired together with physical exercises.

Despite the fact that a healthy diet is very essential for people who want to lose weight, most of these marketers fail to provide their clients the appropriate weight loss exercises needed to easily lose 10 pounds and promote a sustainable weight loss.

One of the most known appropriate exercises for people who want to lose weight is low intensity exercise. Through this exercise, your body uses oxygen and fat to fuel the exercise. During this type of exercise, your heart rate is 65% of your maximum heart rate threshold.

Exercising using this type for 30 minutes helps you burn up 300 calories depending on your weight.

However, low intensity training/ exercises while dieting burns protein which is the basic unit of muscles in the body. Losing weight while burning muscles is not what you should desire as your metabolism decreases its pace. Studies show that building up your muscle is important to increase your metabolism. Why? It’s because when you increase your metabolism, you speed up the fat burning process.

According to the University of New South Wales in Australia, combining low intensity training with high intensity training promotes quicker weight loss as well as the toning and building up of muscles. They observed that people who are doing a combination of these exercises have a better weight loss than those who are only doing low intensity exercises.

This training includes high intensity exercise for 8 seconds which is then followed with a recovery period of 12 seconds. This then repeated for 20 minutes. It is highly advised that you warm up before the exercise.

Some of the most effective way of interval training are cycling and jogging.

In order to lose 10 lbs. and prevent muscle loss it is very important to keep the weight off. Most common effect of weight loss method is that the weight tends to come back after the diet is finished or when an exercise regimen is stopped. This is the reason why most people fail to lose weight despite all of their efforts.

One of the most efficient ways to avoid gaining the weight back is by maintaining the rate of your metabolism and your muscle tone.

Weight loss can be a tough nut to crack because we lack motivation and and we usually give up before we see the results we want. One of the best weight loss tips out there is to use a variety of different exercises and to focus on interval training.

Interval training can be anything that sends your heart rate into stratospheric levels very quickly. Interval training is very difficult but is has the added benefit of whipping you into fabulous cardiovascular shape and not just helping you loose weight.

Anyone looking for fitness tips would be well served to use interval training on a regular basis. There are two main forms of interval training.

One is simply doing a resistance exercise circuit, with very short breaks in between sets, high reps and lower weights. The ideal rep range would be any where from 10 – 20. Focusing on the lower end and you are building more muscle and focusing on the higher end any you are doing more cardiovascular work. I suggest using a variety of different exercises, weights, and rep ranges.

The other type of interval training is purely cardiovascular and focuses on short burst of energy such as sprints. I like to do uphill sprints then walk back down the hill and repeat. As few as 5 of these can really do wonders for your conditioning. You can do this on a bike, in the pool, with a punching bag, or anything else. Just bring your exertion to a maximum level for at least 30 seconds then back off.

Interval training is very demanding on the body and the mind. It hurts and it takes some major determination to push through and finish the workouts. Proper nutrition is essential to make sure that you are refueling your muscles and your mind.

One of the best benefits of doing interval training in this manner is that you will be hitting a variety of different muscle groups and maximizing your bodies ability to burn fat. You will also be strengthening your entire body and adding lean muscle mass which will cause you to burn more calories.

Following this weight loss tip can really boost your fat loss and overall health and fitness.
