Weight Loss - An Exercise Program to Burn Fat and Get Skinny

So you want to lose weight but you don't know what to do. Should you run three hours a day seven days a week? Should you lift weight 5 days a week for 2 hours at a time? There is so much information out there on weight loss it is hard to tell fact from fiction.




The truth is that in order to shed those unwanted pounds you need to consume less calories than you have been eating on a daily basis. So the first step is to keep a daily log of what you eat for approximately one week and then sit down and calculate the amount of calories you are eating every day.



After that you should plan out your daily menu for the week but you should consume 25% to 30% less calories than you usually do. Also you should eat more fruits and vegetables than anything else. You should also continue to keep a daily food log to keep an accurate count of your calories.



Next you should design your exercise routine. A really good exercise program for weight loss should include cardiovascular exercise 5 - 6 days a week and some type of resistance training 3 days a week.



A basic weight training program should consist of 3 sets of 10 repositions of the following exercises: bench press, shoulder press, squats, back barbell rows, biceps curls and triceps press-downs. You should do this routine 3 days a week.



Your cardio program should include 60 minutes of cardio because the first 30 minutes of most cardio exercises just burns the sugar in your blood stream and from minute 31 on you are burning fat. Now not everyone can start working out with 60 minutes of cardio so please use common sense and slowly and safely work your way up to the full hour program.



You should also eat 5 small meals each and every day. Eating smaller meals allows the body to properly digest the food you are eating and will also increase the amount of nutrition that your body absorbs from the food you are eating. This will also control your insulin levels and blood sugar levels.



If you have difficulty controlling your appetite and cravings there are many nutritional products and supplements available that work wonders at decreasing and controlling your appetite. Be careful when considering taking over the counter diet products and fat burners because they may have great fancy labels on the outside but contain nothing but garbage ingredients inside.



It is always best to work with a trained Medical professional when taking any dietary supplement, especially when it comes to appetite suppressant pills and products and fat burners. Medical weight loss practitioners, usually only use the safest and most effective weight loss and appetite suppressant medications, supplements and products.
