Best Exercises To Burn Fat - Triple Your Results

By Heather Hughes

Get the best fat burning workout possible and triple your results from your current weight training. Would you like to know how to do it?

For really stunning fat loss results, optimized resistance training is the way to go. It will give you muscle and strength gains, and when using the techniques that are describes in the Fat Burning Furnace eBook, you will also get cardiovascular benefits as well. The best thing is that this is all from 2 to three workouts each week that only last fifteen to twenty minutes each... you can definitely fit that into your schedule.

But, to get the maximum benefit, and triple your results, you need to do your workouts correctly, not like you've probably been taught. If you go into any gym or fitness center right now, you'll see over half of the people working out not doing it in the optimal way... and I am probably underestimating.

How about we get right into how to triple the effectiveness of your workout so we can get you the best fat burning results possible? To get the tripling effect you have to look at how you perform each movement in your resistance training. To understand this better, let's take a look at the 3 different levels of strength for any resistance exercise you might do.

Let's look at dumbbell curls to work your biceps. When you are doing this exercise, you start by having the weight down at your sides. Then you smoothly and slowly move the dumbbells up to your shoulders. This movement trains your positive strength level. You then need to pause briefly and contract your biceps at the top of the movement. This trains your static strength level.

Next, you bring your arms down slowly to the starting position. This trains your negative strength level.

This is the problem... most people don't even bother with the static of negative strength levels. They put all of their focus on the "lifting" or positive portion of the exercise, and don't pause or contract enough at the top. They also don't take nearly enough time with the negative part of the movement.

Basically because of this they are only getting one third of the benefits that this exercise can give them. And actually, it is not even that much, because the static and negative portions can actually create deeper inroads into your existing strength levels. This is a good thing, and is something that you want to achieve, because it will lead to greater progress faster assuming that you give your body enough time to recover.

Why the emphasis on strength? Well, besides that strong muscles just make you look good, there are some other benefits. Strength leads to muscle growth, which increases your resting metabolism, which burns more calories, which gives you much faster fat loss, and has other health benefits which if I listed would take up two more pages (at least).

The next step is to learn exactly how to optimize every piece of your workout, because while tripling your results is fun, it is not nearly as much fun as watching the fat melt off of your body when you have all the pieces put together.

So be sure to not neglect the static and negative strength levels when you do your next exercises. When you do you will triple your results. - 16650
