How To Burn Fat And Build Muscle

Are you unhappy with your current fitness level ? Do you want to build muscle and lose fat ? Do you envy some one who you believe has a better shape that you do ? Well I believe the Problem lie in what I can the "must do's of building muscle, losing fat and achieving great shape.Here are the three "Must-Do's" for a great body and superb fitness levels.


Number 1

You must learn to get involved in some endurance training ( weight ) to increase in muscle and physical strenght.

You MUST perform some type of resistance (weight) training to ensure lean muscle growth and strength increase. Building lean muscle (toning the body) is done by weight training and proper recovery/nutrition.

It starts with the stimulation of muscle growth from the stress of resistance training and ends in growth of lean muscle tissue from rest and proper nutrition.

Weight training could be very difficult but I believe when the goal is big the sacrifice has to be big,self discipline is the key.You should try and weight train 3 to 4 times a week, sufficiently training each muscle group once each week. If you train a muscle group (i.e. biceps or triceps) with intensity and proper resistance, once a week is all that is needed for adequate muscle stimulation.

Number 2

Learn to perform some aerobic/Cardio workout to ensure reduction in calorie and fat and the raising of resting matabolic rate (burning calories throughout the day at rest).

You cannot tone up the body and develop any type of defined physique if your muscles are covered by layers of fat.

Ensuring to do serious aerobics/cardio training 2 to 4 days a week will hasten the fat building process and also help in body metabolism in efficience at buring calories.

Many believe Calorie are being burnt while engaging in aerobic exercise only but the truth is , you are burning calories during the exercise AND you are conditioning the body to burn more calories even after the cardio session is done.

Intense, brief (15 to 20 minutes) cardio sessions help raise the body's resting metabolic rate (the metabolism) so that you burn off more calories even while resting.

Many weight lifers are not happy with their physic due to their ignorance of doing some cardio sessions alongside their routines.

For effective fat burning, 3 to 4 sessions (15 to 20 minutes each) a week is sufficient.

Number 3

Th last but important thing you must do if you are really serious about burning fat and building muscle is to watch your nutrition.You must cultivate the habit of proper eating throughout the day if you are really interested in seeing results.Eating small but well-balanced meal in a 3 to 4 interval will help in building up body metabolism to make it more able to burn out the food intake.

Doing this means you will be eating about 5 or 6 times a day.

Make each meal a high-protein, moderate-carbohydrate, and low-fat choice. Foods like chicken breast, turkey, fish, low-fat dairy products, and lean red meats are excellent protein sources.

Carbs should come primarily from vegetables as well as whole grain breads, cereals, pastas, rice, and legumes.

Nutrition is the most important of the "must do's" of a great physique.Importance must be attached to eating properly as not eating properly could ruin all your effort ,it doesn't even matter how much exercise you do.

The next time you are not satisfied with your current levels of fitness and the condition of your physique, I can almost assure you that the answer lies in one of the three "must do's" of fitness:

To build muscle and lose fat, you have to focus on intense cardio, moderate weight training, and proper nutrition.
