Exercise Tips and TricksMuscle burns fat, so lifting weights to build muscle helps you burn fat. If you are not familiar with weights, hire a personal trainer for month or so. Most people take a counterproductive approach to their weight training. If you can't afford a trainer, write to webmaster @ supplecity.com and I'll suggest other things. If you do buy weights, I recommend an Olympic weight set. It's safer to use than the cheap plastic sets, and you can do more with it. If you don't have much space or money, then a cheap plastic set will do just fine. I had such a set for over 20 years before selling it to someone else.
Walking is a great exercise. Do it every day, and you'll raise your metabolic rate. This means you will burn extra calories even while you are sitting in front of your computer or sleeping in your bed! Look at the ways you save calories, and then spend them instead. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park away from the door, instead of up close. Use a pushmower instead of a riding mower. Pay attention to what you do and think of how you can burn more calories while doing it. If you want to maximize your aerobic benefit for fat-burning purposes, don't pace yourself for a Marathon. Instead, do interval training. For example, run as hard as you can for 2 minutes, walk for 1 minute, run for 2--until you've gone 12 minutes. This will burn more calories than an hour on the treadmill. Not a
believer? Just take a look at sprinters. They have lean, beautiful bodies.
Long-distance runners rarely look healthy. Results speak louder than words.

Article AuthorshipThe articles on this site are authoritative, because:
Where an article is not bylined with a specific author's name, it was written by Mark Lamendola (see photos on home page and elsewhere on this site). Mark is a 4th degree blackbelt, has not been sick since 1971, and has not missed a workout since 1977. Just an example of how Mark knows what he's talking about: In his early 50s, Mark demonstrated a biceps curl using half his body weight. That's a Jack LaLanne level stunt. Few people can even come close. If you want to know how to build a strong, beautiful body, read the articles here. |
