Fat Loss For Idiots

daytime emmy asked:


I want to actually burn fat. So far, I play volleyball/baseball, and I weight train for baseball every day, but that only builds muscle. What should I do, run? Oh, I guess I should mention that my diet isn’t that healthy.

I’ve had two seperate trainers who have given me two different stories when it comes to cardio v. strength training orders during my workout. One suggests doing all the cardio first and then the weights. The other suggest a 5 minute cardio warmup, weights and then 30+ cardio. He says this will help your body burn more fat and build more muscle… anyone have any thoughts?

I’m a 25 year old female, 5′7″ and just trying to tone up- not loose a bunch of weight.

Thanks!

Harness The Bodies Natural Fat Burning Furnace

Most people want to know how to build bigger muscles, while burning a large amount of fat at the same time. In fact, some say you can definitely do both at the same time where others deny otherwise.

This has been debated for quite some time now. Well, the answer to this question is yes and no and depends.

You see, you can build bigger muscles and burn fat at the same time. However, if you are using a fat loss exercise workout routine and also at the same time going through a fat loss diet, you will not be able to build a lot of muscles.

You will also burn more fats during your routines if your body possesses more muscles. Well, it is a common impression that more muscles will cause a person to look big and bulky, but this is not always the case.

Bodybuilders are known to have a small amount of body fat while having a huge amount of muscles.

The reason why body builders are able to burn fat and muscles because they do it in phases. It is called periodization in the muscle building world.

When body builders build muscles, their diet differs drastically from their exercise routines compared to when they are in the phase of losing fats. These body builders will build mass muscles for several months by segmenting different body part workout routines, as well as lifting heavy weight with low repetitions.

It is only that they will change their diet completely from one of building muscle to one which is trying to lose fat.

If you have the time, energy and dedication, you may work towards that time of routine, hence, eventually becoming a body builder yourself.

But if you just a novice exerciser who just wishes to burn fat and build muscles which are just nice, you can choose a routine and diet which you can burn fat and at the same time, burn a small amount of muscle.

A great way you can approach this to undergo cardio training combined with total body strength training.

You see when you perform total body strength training, this will help you to increase your metabolism rate to help you to burn the unwanted fats. When combined with the right type of cardio training, you are on the pathway to successfully burn fats and building bigger muscles at the same time.

Not to forget, your diet will affect your capability to burn fat and muscle too. Consuming quality protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrate in a small meal scale 4 – 6 times a day will help you burn more fats because your blood sugar is more constant to help in controlling your appetite.

Mark R asked:


I just recently upped my workout routine and was wondering when I would see the fat loss (assuming I am doing everthing correctly, diet, workout plan, etc) Is there some kind of delay on fat loss, or, say if you lost 1/4 pound in a day, would you actually see it?

Thanks!
The upped routine is 3-4x a week 30 min of weight training, and 7 days of 45 min on the eliptical. (I was going only 4 days a week doing weights 3 days and cardio all 4)
