The Best Exercises for Burning Fat at Home and In the Gym

Fat Burning Exercises

Focusing on burning body fat is an excellent strategy if you’re trying to lose weight. Simply said, burning fat causes weight loss since less fat will be clinging to your body against your will. While having a low body fat percentage has obvious advantages, such as making your clothes fit better and making your muscles seem more defined and toned, it also has significant health advantages.

Obesity, which is associated with a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer, can result from having a body fat percentage that is too high.

 

 

 

High-Intensity Workouts

According to the American Council on Exercise, it has long been believed that exercising at a lower than maximal effort will stimulate your body to burn fat and calories for energy (ACE).

But don’t get too caught up in it; higher-intensity workouts also result in fat burning, mostly as a result of what happens after the session. The after-burn effect, also known as “excess post-exercise oxygen consumption,” kicks in at that point. Your body continues to burn fat after a high-intensity workout because your metabolism is still elevated.

The bottom line: Exercises with a higher or lower intensity can both be efficient in burning fat. There is still disagreement on which is more efficient.

Best Way of Burning Fat

The best way to burn fat is to combine strength training with aerobic activity. Any form of cardiovascular exercise that raises your heart rate to between 60 and 90 percent of your maximum heart rate—roughly 220 less your age—will be effective. You will burn more calories overall and lose more fat when you get your heart beating and maintain it there. But don’t scrimp on your strength training. The basic fact is that your body will burn more fat when at rest the more muscle you have.

A research article in Current Sports Medicine Reports found that resistance training for 10 weeks enhanced resting metabolic rate by 7% while decreasing fat mass by roughly 4 pounds. Another study, which appeared in the International Journal of Obesity in October 2015, discovered that combining resistance and aerobic exercise helped young persons with obesity lose belly fat.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has also been shown to be effective in burning fat because it causes an increase in post-exercise oxygen consumption (that afterburn effect).

Your body utilizes more oxygen to return to normal function when you achieve this highly energized state, which speeds up your metabolism and causes you to — you guessed it — burn fat. According to research in the Journal of Obesity, three months of HIIT resulted in a 4.4-pound decrease in body fat.
