Fat burning exercise is one of the two essential elements you must address, if you are after fat loss and permanent weight loss. The other is nutrition and diet. Of the two, exercise has the greater impact. But both must be addressed.

Fat Burning Exercise And Your Metabolism 

To burn excessive fat on your body, you must increase your metabolism. Exercise is the only way you can boost your metabolism. You will burn more fat, if you raise your metabolic rate, because a higher metabolism will deplete the food from your most recent meal,as an energy source, and your body will turn to fat for energy. If you boost your metabolic rate, you will be burning more fat because you will burn fat all day long. “The Thermogenic Effect of Exercise” is what you get, as a result.

Is Any Exercise Fat Burning Exercise?

The effectiveness of your exercise program in increasing your metabolic rate, and therefore the rate you burn fat, is dependent on the following factors

  • what kind you do
  • how long you spend doing it
  • how often you do it
  • the time of the day you do it (fat burning is more effective when aerobic exercise is done in the morning)
  • the type of training you do (aerobic, or strength training using free weights, body weights, or machines)
  • what exercise you do first and which other ones follow
  • the intensity of your movement when doing them (or how easy or difficult it is for you to do the exercise)

The most important of these is the mode of exercise you choose to do.

What Exercise Routine Will You Do?

What mode of exercise will you do to rid your body of excess fat and keep it off? What appeals to you more – aerobic exercise or strength training? Or will you do both? Do certain types of aerobic exercise burn more fat than other types?
