How to lose fat. Our goal, losing weight is not always successful. Many people are obsessed with what the scale says every morning, despite earrings 100 grams less each day, regardless if you have lost have been 100 grams of fat and 100 grams of muscle.

Personally, I am of the opinion that the weight that makes the scale is not important. Preferably a few kilos more and despite being fit with adequate muscle mass, which weigh less and be totally wimp.

Therefore, we should focus on losing fat rather than lose weight.

A common mistake, especially among women, is to start a low calorie diet without performing any physical exercise. The result: weight loss with significant loss of muscle mass.

The problem of losing muscle mass, plus it is obviously not healthy, is that our metabolism slows down, as a developed muscle uses more energy to maintain another undeveloped, therefore, to abandon the low calorie diet will recover quickly all the weight lost, and even more, as fat.

My advice is to start out to follow a balanced diet, ignoring the overly restrictive diets and physical exercise you practice.

Then we will look at different types of exercises to see which is the most I can help you lose fat:

Cardio exercises. These exercises are characterized by increased heart rate and require a high energy input during implementation. This energy is mainly produced from carbohydrates first, and then the fat reserves. So to start losing fat, exercise should last at least more than 25 minutes.

Among these exercises are running, swimming, aerobics, step, and two exercises that have become very popular lately: Spinning and Body Combat.

Spinning an hour you can lose up to 600 calories an hour Body Combat 700 calories.

Sports to lose fat

Faced with such exercises are exercises bodybuilding. In these, so it will not burn fat during class but nevertheless, to tone up the muscles, the daily metabolic rate increases, which helps you lose fat.

A complete and fun option for those who get bored working alone in the weight room is the Body Pump. It consists of a series of exercises with weights to strengthen the muscles of the legs, buttocks, arms, chest and abs. Are performed to the rhythm of music and you can lose about 400 calories an hour.

I think both a type of exercise as another has advantages when it comes to losing fat and gaining muscle, so perhaps most interesting is alternate the two types of exercise. We can practice, for example, a Spinning day, another Body Pump and Body Combat another.
