Lose Weight in the Gym

  • Posted on May 30, 2010 at 1:05 pm

When we decide to lose weight, certainly we think that we should do the sport. But what kind of exercise to burn fat? Many friends said come to personal Trainer at the gym, or jogging in the morning can burn the fats. Because many of which suggest Gym A or B or C, we finally decided that the best exercise to burn fat is to join one of the existing fitness centers near your home or our office.

After joining one gym, again we are faced with many choices of activities, there are aerobics classes, there is body pump, there is yoga, there are RPM. Because it is still new to everything, then finally we decided to run on the treadmill. What would you if you exercise, you will burn fat, and if we ran faster and faster on the treadmill, sweat more profusely, calories burned is higher for sure we will quickly getting slim. Do not the doctors, if calories out is greater than calories means weight will go down. And today we decided to chance to eat less, and start exercising. Situations like that often times we face, but whether we have the right choice? Is the weight we’ve come down when we decided to start exercising? Or even weight we seem no change when we exercise?

Real facts that we think the direction that we like is that we all know that eating rice will give us energy. And diet by reducing rice and replace it with another is not going to cause us to be limp. From there it can be concluded that the rice or carbohydrates are the source of our strength. But why every time you are exercising, they think that they will burn fat? Is not it clear that our energy comes from carbohydrates.

The faster we ran on the treadmill, it turns out the calories burned are from carbohydrates, not from fat. Fat is burned in an optimal fashion if we do moderate exercise. The faster we ran, the more carbohydrate is used as an energy source.

The formula is (220-age) x 0.65. For example, Denny, 25, meaning if Denny wants to burn fat, then he’ll use this formula (220 – 25th) x 0.65 = 126.75 or about 127 beats per minute for the heart. On the treadmill, this will be the same as running fast, not running. Try practicing this formula, and find what your ideal heart rate. You will burn fat when your heart rate is around 65%. Higher than 70% means you will burn more carbohydrates.

Then the most suitable exercise to burn fat? Almost any exercise can burn fat, we monitored heart rate we’re a 65% or smaller. Figures 65% is the optimal number. Lifting weights to burn only carbohydrates alone, but by combining weight training with other sports, you’ll get the most out of your fat burning. The trick is, during 30-45 minutes of weight training will burn your calories from carbohydrates, after low-carb, use this moment to exercise NON lift weights with heart rate 65%. This will greatly optimize your fat burning. Good luck!

Tips for Treadmill

  • Posted on May 5, 2010 at 11:08 am

You feel no reaching slim body although you have done various sports and go to the gym for a treadmill workout routine? The answer is probably because the exercise you take is not quite right or there are other factors that make you fat still hoard.

Special for you who underwent both treadmill at the gym or at home, it’s good to reevaluate your efforts or consulted to the instructor. It is not possible, the exercise that you do all this in vain because of errors in the motion or other factors. Whereas with the right movement, the burning of calories would be effective and guaranteed there would be no more fat in your belly.

Here are five guidelines so that your treadmill is optimum. With understanding, hopefully your efforts and hard work to be optimal, and the dream of having a beautiful body like the models on the covers of fitness magazines will materialize.

1. Do not get stuck on the same exercise

“People often fall in the trap of a treadmill for 30 minutes each time they exercise,” says Rachel Cosgrove, owner of Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, California.

“At first it was useful, but then your body becomes accustomed to the routine, and calorie-burning fewer calories.”

To be able to see the results, change one of the factors in your treadmill as the intensity or duration every time I went to the gym. Then replace your overall activity every three or four weeks.

2. Do not be a distraction

If you still can watch TV while doing treadmill, you’re not working hard enough. Instead of relaxing while you run, try doing interval training (exercise intensity varies, but the same pattern of exercises) to enhance the body burning calories and improving your treadmill habit. After heating for five or six minutes with a heart machine, try as hard as possible for one minute, then reduce the intensity for two minutes. Do alternately, and continue for five rounds. Be sure to reduce the lag time every time you break a treadmill.

Intervals alternating between high intensity with low intensity like that, and along with your upgrades, then the intensity can be increased to become increasingly harsh. Rest time could be shortened or in improving the speed without fatigue.

3. Do not hold on to handlebar

When her arm began to take over your body weight from the legs, you burn fewer calories. “If you had to hold on or leaning, do slowly,” said Cosgrove. (Encourage yourself without the help of instructors will also give better results of the exercise for you),

4. Use the degree incline

Set up the treadmill at the position (incline) can increase the activity of pelvic floor muscle strength and litter the back so you will make those muscles stronger and burn more calories. All depends on your fitness level, set the incline angle between 6 percent and 10 percent.

5. Do excess calories

You do not need sports drink during the afternoon, then spend the energy bar (food bars) in the gym, then equip it with a dress rehearsal. Instead, limit yourself to about 300 calories – the same number you burn in exercise time approximately 30 minutes. By adding calories, and you’ll become increasingly slim.
