Fast Tips for Fat Loss
1. Always aim for 12-15 reps per set. Always aim for 3 Sets.
2. Resting in between sets is highly variable, depending on your fitness level. If possible, do a jog in place(keep up those knees to raise up the intensity...therefore more fat burning) for 30 seconds in between sets. If you have been exercising, rest for 10-15 seconds in between sets. This raises your stamina level and heightens your metabolism, burning more fat.
3. Focus on using good form in the exercise, not speed. This reduces your chance of injury and as you feel more fluent in the new exercises, you will speed up automatically.
4. Always get approval from family and a doctor before starting a new fitness or exercise program.
5. Train 3 days a week, resting at least a day between training. Take a vigorous walk or ride your bike at a moderate pace for 30 minutes and allow your muscles to adapt, all while your now fat burning capabilities of your metabolism are speeding up daily.
6. Review your daily way of eating with a dietician or nutritionist that can support you in your goals. Eating "clean" and fat burning to hand and hand. However, you can learn the tricks of raising your fat burning potential through diet as well. Adding in portion control and strategizing when to eat certain starchy carbohydrates and good fats can help you meet your goals faster.
7. Listen to your body. Start with 1 circuit if you are a beginner, and rest 30 seconds between each set. Stop when you run out of steam.
Intermediate: Push yourself, but never compromise your form. Do 2-3 circuits and rest 10-15 seconds between exercises, Or Light 30 second jog.
Advanced: Do 3 circuits. Rest 30 seconds between circuits and add in a 30 second high knee jog in between each exercise.
