I often get asked, "What's the best way to burn fat and lose my belly?" People want to know if aerobics is better than strength training, or if traditional cardio exercise is better than intervals.
It would be an understatement to say I have tried them all.
With over 15 years experience helping others, training myself, training for sports, spending countless hours in the gym, AND actually conducting laboratory research studies on different exercise methods, I'm pretty confident in knowing what works and what does not.
Some people can spend 90 minutes per day on exercise and others cannot. I want to help those of you who are limited on time. Let's see what works best for you.
People read in magazines that we need to spend so much time on this and we disconnect.
For someone who is not a triathlete and just wants to tone and lose weight you don't need to work out 6-8 hours/week.
Having said all that, the bottom line for getting a better body is...
Your best results will be through warming up with your own body-weight. Use strength training for muscle buildup. And use interval training to finish up and burn fat fast. This system is structured for you to workout 3 times/week and be in and out of the gym in 45 minutes.
Spend 5 minutes warming up with bodyweight exercise. If you spend 5 minutes on a treadmill it will only prepare you for more time on the treadmill. Using bodyweight will be much more efficient.
Next are strength training supersets. What is this? Use two exercises, with minimal rest between each, back to back. This will give us top results and cut workout time. Take about 20 minutes for this step. Depending on your goal you should use basic exercises and if you would like add more bodyweight exercises.
Last but not least, interval training for 18 minutes. It is important to warm up. Next do six short intervals at your skill level while using short periods of low intensity recovery.
Compare that to what most people do, which is run, jog, cycle or use the cardio machines for 45 minutes straight. Sure, that will burn calories, but it doesn't build a better body.
In fact, there are a few "dark sides" to long slow cardio, including less-than-optimal results, the potential for overuse injuries, and it is an inefficient form of exercise. If you only have 30-45 minutes for your workout and you spend it all on a cardio machine, when are you going to train the rest of your muscles and sculpt a better body?
Therefore you can burn belly fat fast by combining strength training and interval training. It works and is fun in the process!
