How To Get Rid Of Fat – Part 1
Right so you have seen the title ‘how to get rid of fat’ and you could be forgiven for thinking, ‘OK, so other than dieting, it’s going to be about doing hours and hours of boring cardio’. The media and many trainers seem a bit obsessed and think that the best and only way of how to get rid of fat is to bash it out on long boring cardio routines. This is a common misconception and it seems to be shared throughout the World and it is totally wrong! Read on as you are just about to discover how to get rid of fat the right and most effective way.
How to Get Rid of Fat
Go Down to any Gym and take a look around. What you will see is at least one person (usually a lot more) rhythmatically pumping away on some cardio machine wondering why they seem to have stalled and are unable to lose anymore body fat. Aerobic training or cardio does burn more fat and calories during the actual exercise as opposed to anaerobic training like sprints or weight training for instance but this does not mean that cardio will promote more fat loss than anaerobic training. The reason this is the case is due to the effect it has on your metabolism or more specifically your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)
Durting a typical cardio workout your RMR is elevated and remains so for about 1-2 hours after the workout. The real shocking fact is that following a slightly strenuous anaerobic workout(sprints, weight training or other high intensity exercise) your RMR will remain elevated for up to 1-2 days. This is because the strenuous exercise had caused muscle protein to break down in your body. In order for your body to repair the traumatized muscle it keeps your RMR elevated to perform protein synthesis. Simply put, this process of protein break down and regeneration means you burn a lot more calories from the residual RMR increase than you could in any long drawn out cardio session.
On trying to learn how to get rid of fat many people think they have to focus on the cardio to lose the weight. Sprints and weight training actually build up your lean muscle mass and therefore they speed up your metabolism. Another shocking fact is that excessive cardio can actually cause a loss of lean muscle mass and slow down your metabolic rate. So if your metabolism is low it is going to be much harder to lose anymore body fat and it will be much easier for your body to store it if you overeat. If a person has a primarily cardio based workout coupled with a poor diet then they tend to have a kind of skinny fat appearance where they have little or no muscle definition and excess body fat.
