BASIC TRAINING BURN THAT FAT!The best and fastest way to lose weight is to combine exercise and healthy eating together. If this is the beginning of your journey, start with heart-pumping cardiovascular exercises to help improve your aerobic base and burn fat. Aerobic means your body is using oxygen to break down fat and sugar. It's important to understand that there is a relationship between oxygen and burning fat - oxygen is necessary at the site of the muscle cell to burn fat. As you improve your aerobic/cardiovascular exercises, your oxygen consumption and metabolic rate Noun 1. metabolic rate - rate of metabolism; the amount of energy expended in a give period basal metabolic rate, BMR - the rate at which heat is produced by an individual in a resting state will also improve, in turn helping you burn more fat. Once your aerobic base improves, you can add in weight training two or three times a week. Your recovery between and after exercises will be much better because you'll be starting with a moderately conditioned aerobic base. Weight training will help you create more active muscle, which will accelerate your metabolism, ultimately helping you burn more calories throughout the day. Weight training will also help you create tension in the muscle, giving your arms, legs and abs some beautiful flex appeal. Flexibility exercises should also be added in on day one. Stretching after cardio and weights will help decrease muscle soreness and improve range of motion in joints. Q: I know soft drinks are probably not going to help my plight of losing weight, but would diet sodas (Coke, Pepsi, etc.) be OK? - Rob Williger A: Dear Rob: I always recommend water over diet sodas because diet sodas contain chemicals such as food coloring and artificial sweeteners, which are not essential nutrients to our functioning body and are currently very controversial due to the lack of long-term conclusive research. It's always best for your body to drink water and organic fruit and vegetable juices, which do not have added sugars and chemicals but essential nutrients that your body needs for proper function.
