- NEW VIEWS ON THE BEST FORMS OF EXERCISE
- TO LOSE FAT
Over the last several decades, ideas have changed quite a bit regarding how
best to workout in a way that will promote the most cardiovascular fitness and
total fat loss. It used to be thought that low level, steady state exercise at the
bottom of the margin of our aerobic training range (e.g. 65% of our maximum
training heart rate for our age) would burn the most fat. It was believed that
staying within such a completely "aerobic" range would result in the maximal
use of oxygen by our muscles to ideally burn fat most efficiently. Conversely,
it was also believed that exercising at higher heart rates involving more oxygen
debt -- i.e., more breathlessness -- would result in proportionately more and
more substitution of carbohydrates to be burned instead of purely fats.
Recent research, however, has begun to change these concepts in exercise.
Interval training, inserted in the middle of lower level steady state activity, has
been shown to boost fat burning significantly. Additionally, resistance exercise,
at the level which induces a muscle "burn" feeling thereafter, also increases the
amount of fat loss during exercise. The proper addition and combination of
such mixed training modalities can increase fat loss up to 10 times the amount
achieved by many forms of traditionally recommended exercise.
Thus, circuit training and the use of cardio conditioning interspersed with bursts
of high intensity exercise are growing more popular now for an even wider
population of fitness enthusiasts... not only are athletes who wish to condition
for particular sports competition continuing to engage in them, but now joining
those athletes are individuals who goals are to achieve weight loss and better
overall health and physical fitness.
Here is a link to an excellent article on this new exercise model, and you can
also Google "Metabolic Conditioning" or "Circuit Training" to learn more of the
specific 'how-to's' for getting started on such a program.
