CALORIE LOSS

Burning calories is the best way to lose weight because calorie loss means weight loss. Calorie loss in the diet doesn't necessarily mean eating less because we can have a calorie loss if we do more exercise while eating the same amount of food.

The metabolic rate says that if we consume 2000 calories and we burn 2000 calories we stay the same weight but if we consume 2000 and burn 3000 we will lose weight.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the rate in which we burn the calories by doing nothing, and this is around 60% of our calorie usage. 30% or less if you are sedentary, of our calorie burning is movement, which is different from exercise, as this can just be washing up or sweeping the floor and the rest is by absorbing food, by eating and digesting food.

Calories burnt during fitness or aerobic exercise is a good way to help with calorie loss and there is evidence that claims the body carries on burning calories for several hours afterwards.

 
Burn More Calories By Performing Multi-Muscle Exercises! by Richard Syner

Most of us now know that resistive training helps you build lean muscle tissue. In return, that lean muscle allows your body to burn more calories not only during exercise but also when your body is at a resting state. So, if your interested in burning more calories during your workout and throughout the day, follow this simple guide:

 
  1. Choose exercises that target multiple body parts when you are training. Pick a small muscle group and a large muscle group. For example, I plan to work on arms and legs today. So instead of splitting these two workouts up I will combine them with one effective exercise. Using an exercise like the lunge allows me to do this and helps me burn more calories in less time. As you perform the lunge, you are going to add a bicep curl on the downward lunge motion to train the biceps, quadriceps and gluteals all at the same time. The lunge is also a great way to get some cardio work done as it is a very dynamic exercise that requires you to concentrate on posture, balance and coordination.

2. Use a fitness ball during dumbbell exercises. Instead of sitting or lying on a bench, try performing exercises like chest flies, curls and shoulder press on a fitness ball. This helps you burn more calories because the unstable ball forces your body to activate more muscles in your core and legs to maintain balance on the ball.

3. Use "high intensity interval training" to boost fat loss and burn more calories. Recent studies have shown that interval training can stimulate your metabolism far more AFTER the workouts than lower intensity training. This means you continue to burn more calories and fat for long periods after you're done training. Not so with low intensity training. If you want to read more on interval training I recommend you check out Metabolic Surge or Burn The Fat programs.

Be creative. Think of all the exercises you currently do and adapt them to multi-muscle exercises. You will also have a "brand new" exercise routine to help you get out of that workout rut!
