Exercise the Perfect Fat Burner

There is no quicker or healthier way to lose fat than by eating negative calorie foods and coupling it with a good, regular exercise program. The ultimate result will be a thinner, stronger, and healthier you.

With the right exercise program, you can burn fat while you exercise and continue to burn fat long after you finish. The secret is increasing your basal metabolic rate (MBR).

Basal Metabolic Rate

You expend energy (measured in calories) no matter what you are doing. Your basal metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure if you stayed in bed and slept all day long. It is your resting metabolic rate. Calories are burned by bodily processes such as respiration, pumping of blood around the body, digestion, and maintenance of body temperature.

Your BMR uses up between 50 and 70% of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE): people with sluggish BMRs use up the lower amounts around 50% and those with well developed BMRs may use up to 70% of their TDEE. Activity calories make up the remaining (between 50% and 30%) of your total daily energy expenditure. So the non resting movements of walking, lifting, etc, and exercising make up your activity calories.

Your TDEE equals the sum of your BMR and your activity calories.

If you could develop your BMR so that it burned 70% of your TDEE, you could lie in bed and burn more calories than a lot of less physically active people who were up and moving around. In effect you'd be burning fat while you're resting. Is this possible? Yes, it is.

Many factors affect your BMR. Perhaps the most important is muscle mass. It takes more calories to maintain muscles than fat. So by exercising and adding muscle you will raise your BMR. This means that as you lose fat and add muscle mass your body will burn more calories at rest. Weightlifters call this afterburn.

Simple Aerobic Exercises

Start a regular aerobic exercise program. Walk, jog, swim, ride a bike, etc for one-half an hour a day for five or more days a week. Remember to check with your doctor first before starting a regular exercise program.

Weight Lifting for Extreme Fat Burning

More and more weight loss programs are emphasizing the use of weights to burn fat. Additionally, as people get older they tend to lose bone and muscle mass, by weightlifting muscle mass is restored and the bones are made stronger.

Caution: If you intend to exercise by lifting weights - it's best to get a good book or get in a supervised program so that you are using the proper techniques. In this manner you will derive the maximum benefits from the exercises and reduce your risk of injury.

A bestselling eBook Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle gives you all the info you will need to get the maximum benefit out of weightlifting to burn fat fast.
