Fighting Fat: The Best Way to Burn Fat

22nd January 2018 By Fit Chameleon Leave a Comment

For many people fighting fat is the most important aspect of their personal health. You may have tried high-fat diets, new supplements and other methods to lose fat and struggled to succeed but the best way to lose it is to burn fat.

How best to burn fat comes down to a few simple and effective principles that when fulfilled lead to a lean and toned look.

The primary driver behind fighting fat and losing as much as possible is achieving a state of fat oxidation.

 

What is Fat Oxidation?

Fat oxidation is a metabolic state that allows our body to effectively utilise fat as fuel – turning it into a burned calorie.

In order to enter a state of fat oxidation, we need to train in a specific way and eat a diet that teaches our body to enter fat oxidation and to burn fat.

 

 Can Low-Impact, High-Duration Cardio Burn Fat?

The past years have seen a rise in many styles of training that have boasted the effects on fat loss. The truth is – nothing beats low-impact, high-duration cardio training when it comes to fat loss.

This type of cardio will help you to enter a state where you utilise fat as fuel without putting an excessive amount of stress on the joints or muscles.

For best results, try to stay above 70 % of your Target Heart Rate for 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times every week. To find your target HR click here.

 

Strength Training

Nothing stimulates fat loss like strength training (when done properly).

Strength training for fat loss should be completed in the medium set range. The optimal set range for fat loss is 8-12 reps /set. Any less, you start to induce more hypertrophy, any more you enter a state of endurance based training.

For best results, do your best to keep your reps and sets to 8-12 reps by 3-4 sets for each exercise.

There are a host of methods that will enable for greater fat loss but the ones that work are those that are consistent.

Yes, supplementing with a fat-burner can be an effective way to promote short-term weight loss – yet if your goal is to lose fat overtime nothing beats a constant effort in cardio and strength training.
