Most people realize by now, that working out to add lean muscle mass to your body increases not only your metabolism, but also you will have an increase in fat loss and you will become a fat burning machine. You will be able to receive many more benefits that will lead you to a very healthy life. For the Fat Burning Machine method we are going to look at how you can use intensity, volume and frequency and progression to lose weight and keep it off forever.
Most people I see at the gym are not working intensely enough even though they are spending a lot of time exercising with their weight training or resistance training. Using a low intensity workout you can only expect to burn a small amount of fat.
The key elements to train for lean muscle and strength is the proper application of three vital elements.
I have found a secret and it is this, to gain lean muscle and strength we need to apply the three vital elements and these are often ignored by those who try it. These three elements are:
1. Intensity
2. Volume & Frequency
3. Progression
The intensity is how hard it is to perform for you, given your current physical condition. The volume and frequency are how much weight you use and how often you perform the exercise. The progression is determined by how much the demands go up from workout to workout. With these 3 key elements you will develop into a fat burning machine. The Fat Burning Machine system will take you from beginning to lose weight to learning how to keep the weight off permanently.
It is essential that you keep the number of your weekly workouts in check and remember not to workout for too long.
Two entirely different forms of exercise are fat burning aerobic and anaerobic exercise. In reality the are entirely opposite.
Aerobic exercise typically is characterized by low to moderate intensity, high volume and frequency, and little progression. Anaerobic exercise, or weight training, must be done with high intensity, lower weight and less frequently and also with metered progression to be effective. Only with anaerobic exercise will you become a fat burning machine.
You will not get a great amount of muscle or strength building beyond a few weeks if you are doing weight training at a low or moderate rate of intensity.
The objective is the combination of sufficient intensity, along with increased repetitions of your weight training exercise or amount of weight used in all workouts. These three steps will continue your bodies development into a fat burning machine!
When you are creating an effective and efficient workout routine for maximizing your workout and minimizing the time spent in the gym remember to pay attention to the details. Why?The resting time that follows is even more important that the workout itself.If you want to get stronger or increase your muscles you need to get enough rest and sufficient sleep.
You see, when you strength train properly, you are creating tiny injuries to your muscles. When you allow your body to restore itself, it will overcompensate and increase the amount of muscle that you have.
If you workout again before that process is completed, you’ll experience lackluster results, if any, muscle building or fat burning results. You will also be overworking your muscles to the point where they will not respond to your workout.
Be sure that you get the needed rest between your workouts, a minimum of 1 to 3 full days of rest between properly executed resistance workouts is typical.
Now upon hearing the idea that you’ve got to add muscle to your body to ensure that you will become the maximum fat burning machine, a lot of people, women especially, start thinking, “But I don’t want to get bigger, I want to lose weight!”
But this is such a shame, because it’s very unlikely to happen, and countless women are losing out on these fat burning benefits because of it.
You see, most men and almost all women simply lack the necessary genetic traits required to produce such muscle gains that would cause them to look bulky or overly developed to most people. Muscle fiber makeup, muscle belly length, testosterone levels are some of these traits.
The bodybuilders that you see on TV and in the magazines are competing and are the genetic cream of the crop for muscle development and also they are usually on large doses of anabolic steroids, growth hormones and other bodybuilding drugs.
Don’t be fooled by these images, or those that scare you into thinking this way. Did you know that lean muscle takes up less space on your body and is more compact than fat, and because of this you will in actuality be getting smaller.
No matter who you are, you will be putting yourself in the best position to succeed in your fat loss and your fitness goals when you perform properly conducted intense resistance training.
But make sure you understand and apply the three critical Fat Burning Machine principles I discussed above.
Here they are again: Intensity, Volume and Frequency and Progression.
If you don’t follow these three principles you’ll ultimately be unhappy with your results, both in your ability to burn fat and realize the lean, strong, and healthy body you deserve.
