================== ARTICLE START ==================

Hey, we all want to shed some pounds and get back to the body

that we had when we were younger and didn’t appreciate it but

it takes discipline, planning, and dedication to make that

happen. All too often people shed 10 or 15 pounds and then seem

to stop losing weight. There is definitely a reason this happens

and it should not be seen as failure or an excuse to give up on

your weight loss goals. Here are 7 absolutely killer ways to

maximize your fat burning routine and help ensure success with

your weight loss goals.

1) Anaerobic Exercise

If you think you can just run laps or pedal that fat away,

think again. Muscle tissue is what burns the most calories in

our bodies and you need to life weights in order to create

bigger muscles that will burn more calories. Now although

aerobic exercises such as cycling or swimming are also

necessary, the fact remains that building bigger muscles is the

best way to lose weight and keep it off. This is because you are

creating a more efficient calorie burning machine by lifting

weights which will ensure you success with your weight loss

goals.

2) Warm-up and Cool Down

Warming up before exercising and taking the time to cool down

afterwards with some light exercises are not generally seen as

essential to a fat burning program. However, the reason why a

lot of people tend to give up on their weight loss goals is

because they failed to see the progress they hoped for when

they began. An injury, even one that only lasts for a few days,

can set your weight loss goals back by weeks and lead to a loss

of stimulation. You need to plan an extra twenty minutes into

your weight lifting routine for these two essential activities

or you risk injury and derailing your weight loss plan.

3) Diet, Diet, Diet

This should not be a killer way to maximize your weight loss

goals but it is. The reason for this is because people tend to

think of losing weight in two ways: diet, or exercise. Hey,

these two go hand in hand and you are never going to maximize

your fat burning routine in the gym unless you take care of

your body outside of the gym. Stop thinking of meals in terms

of three: instead, think 5 meals with smaller portions. The FDA

recently developed a new food pyramid with this very idea in

mind and you should check it out before starting your fat

burning program because it can save you a lot of time and

energy if you get the diet part figured out before even

stepping into the gym.

4) Plan Workouts

The body is the most complex machine on the planet and you

can’t just hope to step into a gym and jump on a machine or

some weights and think that you are going to see the results

you want without knowing how they affect your body. The ideal

exercise routine is done only 3 or 4 times per week and only

for 30-45 minutes at a time. You cannot work your body more

than this because it will actually cause your muscles to break

down which means you will be burning fewer calories, and

therefore, not maximizing your fat burning routine in the gym.

If you have any doubts about what kind of routine is ideal for

your goals, don’t be afraid to consult an physical trainer to

help you set up a program that is best suited for you.

5) Nutritional Supplements

If you really want to maximize your fat burning routine in the

gym, then you need to consider using nutritional supplements.

Now I am not talking about those crazy supplements that promise

to burn fat for you while you sit and watch tv! I am talking

about essential fatty acids, amino acids, whey protein….things

that will truly maximize your workouts that you can’t always

expect to get in the foods you eat every day. Again, consult a

physical trainer if you want to know which supplements are best

for your weight loss goals.

6) Set Weekly Goals

I know that this just seems terribly obvious but the truth is

that most people are not thrilled with the idea of working out

so it is easy for them to skip a session or indulge in some

pizza and think that they will make up for it next time.

Listen, next time never comes and when you stop seeing the

scales go down, the motivation just seems to stop. By setting

weekly goals, you can track your progress and make it that much

more likely that you will adhere to the goals when you see

things are not going as expected.

7) No More Late Night Snacks

This one may not seem to make sense, but I assure you that it

will help maximize your fat burning exercises. The reason is

your metabolism. When you eat right before you go to bed, it

throws your body off and you probably notice that you awaken

and don’t feel hungry. Then, you skip breakfast entirely or

only snack on a bagel or something on you way into work.

The result: the body goes into conservation mode. This means

that it slows down your metabolism and that means you are

burning less calories throughout the day. Plus, it increases

the likelihood of snacking and basically just sets the scene

for a bad cycle. Eating five smaller portioned meals per day

also has to do with your metabolism as it has been found that

metabolism remains highest when there is a consistent supply of

food in the body. You might not believe that late night snacking

affects the way your body burns fat when working out, but it

does.

Now some of the things listed above are obvious while some just

seem silly. And yet, taken together and consistently adhered to,

these 7 little ideas will maximize your fat burning in the gym

and get you to that body you can see in your mind but not the

mirror far quicker than if you just go about things in a

disorganized and inconsistent manner.
