A great way to burn off excess fat is to run or do a HIIT workout for as little as 10-20 minutes first thing in the morning. Performing a calorie burning activity right when you wake up is more effective because it sets you up for burning calories throughout the day and you don’t need to feel the pressure of having to “fit in” a workout or feel guilty because you are too tired at the end of the day to do one.
During your workouts do exercise that incorporate compound movements rather than simple ones. This will not only help in burning more calories, but will also build more muscle at once! A few good compound movement exercises include: Squats, Clean and Press, Deadlifts, Bent over Rows, and Lunges.
Want to effortlessly drop 30 lbs in one year? Millions of people drink an average of 2 regular soft drinks a day, which is a total of 300 calories. When you add these extra 300 calories up over a year, they result in over 30lbs of weight gain! Say no to soft drinks, and say goodbye to your unwanted pounds!
Pump some iron! Did you know that 1 lb of muscle burns 30-50 calories per day, while 1 lb of fat only burns about 9 calories per day? The more muscle your body contains the more calories you burn each day. Resistance training has been called the fountain of youth and it really is!
Make a habit of weighing and measuring yourself monthly and tracking your gains and losses. This will motivate you and prevent gradual weight gain from creeping up when you least expect it.
Drink a large glass of water before every meal. It may seem like a chore, but drinking a large glass of water before eating is a great way to partially fill you up and prevent you from overeating.
Eat complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars for a leaner body. Your body is in constant need of carbohydrates to be converted into glucose and used as fuel. When your body has extra glucose it will be stored as fat for later use. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, take longer to breakdown into glucose, and will therefore be less likely to be stored as fat than simple carbohydrates such as table sugar, jams, candies, etc.
Losing patience with exercise? The key to fat loss and fitness gains is to be consistent. And if you are bored, there’s significant less chance of you working out on a regular basis. If this is happening, try mixing up your workouts every few weeks, and don’t be afraid to try something new!
