Are you frustrated by not being able to wear the clothes you want to wear?  If the answer is yes, you may be at the point where you can do something effective to improve your appearance, health and well being for the rest of your life.

Before I go into what you can do to rid your body of unwanted fat, there are three very important facts you need to know

• fat Loss and weight loss are not the same thing
• you can lose weight by dieting, but you dont lose fat by dieting
• the only way you can lose fat from your body is through exercise

So you have no choice but to include a fat burning exercise routine in your life, if you want to achieve fat loss.

Is There Such A Thing As The Best Fat Burning Exercise Routine?

There is no such thing as a best exercise routine for fat loss.  But, there is an exercise regimen that would be best for you personally.

Exercise falls into two general classifications. They are aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.

People who walk briskly, jog, ride a bicycle or swim are engaging in aerobic fat burning exercise. An example of anaerobic exercise is strength or resistance training.  There are other examples of anaerobic exercise, but to discuss them in this article would cause me to deviate from the main message of this article.

A good strength training regimen is most effective in achieving fat loss.  However strength training does not appeal to everybody.  If you do aerobic exercise correctly, you will achieve the fat loss that you want.  You dont have to do strength training.

How You Burn Fat During Aerobic Exercise?

When you first start an exercise session, your body does not burn fat for energy; it goes through some stages before fat burning occurs. Initially you will only burn carbohydrates for energy. This lasts for approximately 10 minutes. At that point, you begin to use fat for energy.

You will only burn fat if you exert yourself at the right level for you. You know that you are exerting yourself at the correct level for you, when your body needs more oxygen.   How can you tell if it is the right level for you?

1. your rate of breathing is faster than normal, but you are not breathless
2. there should be some perspiration on your neck and back
3. you should be able to carry on a conversation during your exercise. If you are breathless, or can’t talk, you are exercising too hard

If you experience dizziness or lightheadedness, it is not a good sign. It means that you are overexerting yourself and you should stop.

Your body will not begin to burn fat for energy, if you do not exert yourself sufficiently. Your body will keep using carbohydrates as its energy source. If this is what happens, you will lose mostly water weight, which leads to a decrease in your metabolism. This is the opposite of what you want, because the higher your metabolism the more fat you will burn.

Also please understand that just because you reached the fat burning stage, does not mean you will stay there. Fat burning will continue for as long as you keep up the pace that is right for you.
