Speeding up Fitness and Fat loss
The Answers to Lose the Belly Fat Very Quickly
Really, if one thinks about it, it's ridiculous that so many people are still struggling to lose the belly fat. The reason I say this is because when one considers the astronomical amounts of money spent each year on weight loss supplements and exercise programs, the problem really should be long gone.
In all honesty, it wasn't that long ago that I too, was in search of the perfect solution to lose belly fat. An overnight remedy for success is every fat persons dream but in reality, it just doesn't work that way.
Firstly, I came across a wealth of diets that all claimed to offer 100% positive results and while some do work, at least in the short term, others are just plain dangerous. Secondly, I looked at numerous exercise programs and here again, while some were that weak that they could never show results, others were completely over the top as far as your average person is concerned.
So how did I manage to lose the belly fat in the end? I was told about interval training and believe me; I never looked back after that. It's not only me telling you it works, but science as well. Yes, it's been proven that interval training is perhaps the most effective weight loss strategy in the world. The favorite recommendation from trainers seems to be steady state cardio and yes, a session will cause your body to burn fat for up to thirty minutes. Now compare it to interval training. Just a single session will result in your body burning up fat for up to forty hours and that in my opinion is simply amazing.
To establish just how effective interval training is, a study was undertaken at Tremblay using two groups of volunteers. While group one was put on a steady state cardio program, group two were put on an interval training program. After completion of the study, the results were nothing short of spectacular, with the interval trainers having lost nine times as much subcutaneous fat than their counterparts on the steady state cardio program.
Of course nobody can disagree that those results were amazing but what researchers also discovered, was that those who had been on the interval training program also benefited from a permanent change in their metabolism, the manner in which your body burns fat. You get to lose the extra belly fat without doing to much work.
If one considers that those initial studies took place back in 1994, it stands to reason that over the years; techniques have been refined, thus making interval training even more effective than it was back then. Obviously, results will depend on the level of training you do as well as the intensity of your training. For beginners starting off with a twenty minute training session and doing this three times each week, they can expect to loose about 2lbs per week
Proper interval training is known to be extremely intensive so if you're unfit, please ease into it slowly. After just a few weeks you'll be able to increase the level of intensity which of course means more rapid fat loss. Above all, whether you only need to shed one or two pounds or whether you need to half you size, interval training is the most effective way for you to lose the belly fat which has been haunting you for years.
