Physical training can be a fat burning workout every time you train.

A lot of people are interested in losing that stubborn, unwanted fat… and are in search of a good fat burning workout.

Burning fat is one of the major reasons people participate in a physical training program… They want to burn fat to look better.

What I am going to propose is that in order to get the most fat burning qualities out of your workout you have to make a shift in training mentality.

Instead of looking at a fat burning workout as a way to look better… View burning fat as a way to perform better.

Just forget about looks for a second… and view your physical training as strictly a way to improve performance.

Losing unwanted and unneeded fat will definitely improve physical performance.

This shift in workout mentality will guide you to choose strength, conditioning and fitness exercises and methods that will develop into excellent fat burning workouts.

I am not going to give you a fat burning workout… I am going to teach you how to make every time you train a fat burning workout.

First of all, let me tell you what I don’t think is a fat burning workout…

You go to the gym, warm up, do sets or circuits of strength training, do 20 minutes of “cardio” in your “fat burning zone” and then cool down.

I also don’t think this is a fat burning workout…

You go to the gym, warm up, do 20 minutes of “cardio” in your “fat burning zone”, do sets or circuits of strength training and then cool down.

These two examples sound like the workout programs of 98% of the people reading this… Are you one of them?

If those two scenarios were the keys to burning fat… Why are you still looking for a good fat burning workout?

OK… so what is an effective fat burning workout?

For an effective fat burning workout you need to blur the lines between strength training and metabolic conditioning and add intensity.

Let me explain…

Most people don’t think of strength training as a fat burning workout… mostly because they are doing body building isolated movement exercises at a pace that does not get the cardiorespiratory rates up and keep them up.

This is normally the same group of people that think the best “cardio” comes from extended, constant rate aerobic exercise in the fabled “fat burning zone”.

But let me suggest this… If you combined lifting weights and cardiorespiratory exercise and performed them at an intensity and pace that got your cardiorespiratory rates up and kept them up you would have everything you need for an excellent fat burning workout.

What would this type of intense strength and conditioning fat burning workout accomplish…

1) Development of lean muscle that would burn more calories for maintenance in the future.

2) Improvement of cardiorespiratory endurance, allowing you to work out harder in the future and burn more calories.

3) Increase in metabolism so that you would continue to burn calories for hours after the workout.

4) Allow you to accomplish a strength, conditioning and fat burning workout in a fraction of the time of separating the workouts.

5) Teach your body to function as one complete unit and to use strength and cardiorespiratory endurance simultaneously.

If you are concerned with improving overall strength, conditioning and fitness performance… Then you need to drop that unwanted fat that is keeping you from reaching your potential.

Ironically, if you concentrate on performance improvement by adding intensity and variety to your workouts and blur the lines between strength training and conditioning training, you will see superior fat loss than programs claiming to target fat loss.

Start training for physical fitness improvement and every workout will become a fat burning workout.

Just think of what you can accomplish in sport, work and life activities when you develop a body that performs as good as it looks.

So, don’t train for appearance.

Train for performance… and the appearance you want is sure to follow.

If you want to lose weight and build muscle, you should know that fat burning workouts will help you do just this. Not only will they target specific areas of the body to build muscle in, but they will also keep you fit as a whole. Therefore, make sure you include these types of exercises for every part of your body as you work out.

If this is to be a truly “fat burning” workout, spend more than 20 minutes doing continuous aerobic exercise. This is because when you begin your routine, your body uses the fuel that’s most easily available to you, which are the excess carbs you consume. After about 20 minutes, these carbs are gone and your body will go to burn fat next. Once your body is burning fat fuel, though, it will keep doing this for up to six hours after you have stopped your exercise program.

To get the best effect from your exercises, the exercise itself should be slower in pace, aerobic in nature, and longer in duration than those you might be used to doing. They should also involve most of your major muscle groups. What makes this so beneficial is that it gives you the most benefit of any type of exercise. Low intensity exercise also taps into your fat resources to use as fuel. Aerobic exercise is also beneficial because it makes your heart and cardiovascular system stronger. It also lowers your blood pressure and optimizes cholesterol levels. Basically, “aerobic” exercise improves oxygen efficiency as your body uses it during extensive exercise.

These types of fat burning exercises include walking, running and jogging, swimming, cycling, elliptical trainer exercise, or any type of whole body fast-moving activity, such as working out on a ski machine. If you do this for 20 minutes, you get your fat burning well underway. One of the best ways to start inexpensively is to purchase a home treadmill or elliptical exercise trainer and begin your fat burning exercise program.

If you need lower impact exercise to save joints, you can try swimming, walking or yoga. You should begin with three days a week, working out every other day, and then move this up to five days a week as you increase your fitness level. The best way to ensure that you stay faithful to your actions program is to make it fun. If possible, get a buddy to work out with you so that you’re never bored.

Most of these types of fat burning exercise can be done in your home, but if you want to go to the gym, feel free to do so. Just make sure whatever you do you make exercise a regular habit. Especially in winter when cold weather makes working outside difficult, working out at a gym or with a home exercise program will ensure that you stay focused. And because fitness takes some time, it’s easy to get discouraged, but keep at it and you’ll soon see results. Remember, your health and well-being are important, so staying focused on your exercise program will not make you only look better, but feel better and live longer.
