Maximizing Fat Burn: The Benefits of Incorporating Aerobic Exercise into Your Fitness Routine

WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS MYTH #3:

A regimen of aerobic exercise burns the most fat.

I see women who spend four days a week, 40 minutes at a time, on the stair-stepper, treadmill or bicycle who don’t lose weight! I know men who run ten kilometres a day who have no muscle tone and plenty of rolls of fat around their waists. You’ve been led to believe that if you want to lose fat, all you have to do is regular aerobic exercise. There’s more to it than that.

You must be able to monitor and control your cardiovascular intensity to maximise the number of calories you burn. And, if aerobic exercise is not supplemented with resistance training (lifting weights) to at least maintain muscle mass, you cannot effectively accelerate the fat loss process. Each pound of lean muscle tissue burns 35–50 calories a day while your body is at rest; whereas body fat is not metabolically active, so little to no fat is burned for each kilo of body fat.

Therefore, a combination of properly monitored aerobic exercise and resistance training enables you to rapidly burn the maximum amount of fat. SPECIAL NOTE: This may sound like it’s involved and time consuming. It’s not! With the proper fitness and nutrition system in place, you can quickly burn fat, lose weight and get fit in as little as 40 minutes per session – exercising in the privacy of your home only three times per week. And in 12 weeks you can dramatically transform your body.
