Spot reduction is impossible. There is no one exercise that you can do to flatten your stomach or shrink your hips, butt, back, legs or arms. For the best fat burning results, do strength training first followed by interval training on a treadmill, bike, elliptical, jump rope or any bodyweight exercise. The strength training consists of supersetting and/ or circuit training. Doing non-competing exercises and total body exercises back to back without rest. You get more work done in less time as well. Interval Training is periods of high intensity work followed by periods of rest or low intensity work. This style of training causes an effect known as EPOC...Excess Post(exercise) Oxygen Consumption. The EPOC phenomenon causes an increased rate of oxygen intake, an elevated consumption of fat for fuel and increases your metabolism up to 48 hours AFTER you exercise! What does that mean to you?....Burning fat while you rest! Hope this helps! |
