Lose Fat Fast With Proper Exercise

By Travis Killian

Look, I know that you are smart. I know that you know that if you want to lose weight then you need to work on your diet and exercise routine. I'm not going to write an article explaining how to lose weight and end it so that the only thing that you have discovered is that you wasted your time to find out something that you already knew. Instead, I'm going to tell you how you can effectively lose weight through making efficient use of your time in the gym. Interested?

Many people should realize how important it is to leverage our bodies to achieve our weight loss goals. If you know how to exercise correctly, then you can spend as little as 15 minutes in a workout a day to turbo charge your metabolism from that point until the next day. Imagine how many additional calories you would burn in a day if you were to burn an extra calorie a minute. Doesn't that sound like a lot more fun than only burning additional calories for the duration of your workout? Good, I have your attention.

Your solution to getting a "turbo-charged" metabolism is High Intensity Interval Training. Without going into too much detail, HIIT is performing a physical activity at around 90-95% of your maximum heart rate. You will only be able to do this for about 15-30 seconds. An example of a HIIT workout is doing a 10-15 30 second sprints with a minute of walking between each set. After that, you can cool down, stretch and finish your workout knowing that you will burn a lot more calories than 45 minutes of jogging.

This type of training is very hard to do. Just like people usually don't squat, people will not do this either. No one wants to work hard but everyone wants the results. Well here is the proven formula, take it or leave it for some miracle pill. Just don't act ignorant when you are not getting the results that you want. This method is proven, so proven in fact that Laval University performed a test to validate HIIT's effectiveness. The results were astonishing - the tested group lost 9x more fat than the control group who performed traditional 30-60 minute moderate exercise.

If you are ready to exercise to lose weight, perform high intensity interval training. Don't let your laziness stop you from getting you results. After every workout you will feel both wiped and accomplished. But you know what? You will not be wasting your time and you will look great in a matter of weeks provided that you take this serious. Get ready to look and feel phenomenal! - 16004
