It is quite obvious that in order to burn A LOT of fat, you will eventually have to deal with a lot of intense workout routines to accelerate results of your chosen diet, assuming you have chosen a 'comfortable' eating pattern with more-than-average calorie deficit. Some may have no idea how intense they should be. Is it low intensity for beginners and progress or high intensity for fast results?
Push yourself but not too much that you get beat and are mentally drained to do other things in lifeBrad Pilon is one of the best bloggers I have encountered in the fitness industry. He believes that a good workout routine is a combination of workout routines and diet to become very lean. A mindset of workout routines to create muscle, muscle definition and accelerate fat burning without being too bulky is the way to go while letting a diet pattern with a large calorie deficit deal with fat loss.
The Effect of Low Intensity in Fat Loss
There was some time decades ago where fat burning has only one way: and that was to spend a lot of time doing a low intense cardiovascular exercise (a.k.a walking on a treadmill or the gym bikes) to get to a 'fat burning zone' for fat loss. There are still times that I see people do this in the gym, especially for beginners. Maybe because of lack of information on what really works or as a beginner they just follow what every one else does.
Studies have shown that interval workout routines burn more fat than low and long cardiovascular exercises sessions. To put it this way, you will not burn as much calories and may be wasting a lot of time doing a lot of cardiovascular exercises where it can be spent in short, intense workout routines and then spending time on other things.
Interval Training Workout Routines Works Best But Not Too Much
Interval training involves an interval between moderate effort or short rest then a burst of sudden, quick and aggressive work. Not all people are designed for high intensity workouts like interval training, and the good thing is it can be toned down according to your fitness level.
In a treadmill, 10-15 minutes is more or less good if you are just starting out. Walking for a minute then running as fast as you can for 30 seconds is the ideal pattern of interval training.
Too intense workout routines can result to a situation like: getting really tired and beat up then doing nothing and just eating for the rest of the day. Brad Pilon calls this the Activity Sine Wave, which means over compensating with rest due to an intense workout.
Rusty Moore of fitness black book has used the term H.G.H flush to indicate an 'ideal' workout routine intensity. You can simply determine if your efforts are enough if your skin feels hot and experience some shortness of breath.
You will still dictate the intensity of your workout routines. Push yourself but not too much that you get beat and are mentally drained to do other things in life. Fat loss can be achieved by a diet pattern so you do not have to get pressured by pushing yourself too much in your exercise routine.
