Fat burning workouts are pretty simple, as long as you have the motivation to stick with them. Combined with eating in a way that helps speed fat burning, they result in a leaner, meaner you.

Do some sort of aerobic exercise every day for 30 minutes. When your heart pumps more quickly, not so fast it struggles, but enough to make you sweat you're doing aerobic exercise. Walking, running, swimming, even some forms of yard work are aerobic exercises. For another step towards better health, add intervals to the aerobics. }These are bursts of higher activity that help boost the metabolism even more|Periods of higher activity that help boost the metabolism even more are intervals}. That means run between periods of walking, or burst to speed while swimming at an easy pace.

It's wrong to think exercise is only three to five days a week. Don't believe it. The body needs this work every day. Pick an exercise routine you can maintain so that you can stick with it seven days a week for the rest of your life. In order to burn stored fat make sure to exercise before breakfast or at least before your next meal. Throw in an extra 10-30 minute walk after lunch or dinner to this exercise routing, in addition to the 30 minutes. Finally, look for opportunities to move. This can mean anything from parking further from the office so you have to walk from the car to the door, to taking the stairs instead of the elevator, to raking leaves rather than blowing them.

Tone muscles with weight training at least 3 times each week. Bigger muscles make your metabolism speed into overdrive. A faster metabolism means burning more calories, and thus more fat, even when you're simply performing routine, day to day activities. You'll also feel better and look better just because of the toned muscle.

{Don't skip breakfast|Never skip breakfast, lunch or dinner. Doing so drops your body into starvation mode where it burns calories more slowly. A slow metabolism is not a friend of fat burning. Remember too that eating too little will also drop the body into starvation mode. Most people need to consume at least 1200 calories daily.

Results are pretty special when fat burning workouts combine with healthy diet. It doesn't have to be hard. In fact if it's too hard you'll lose motivation and quit the program. Too many people get gung-ho on working out after Christmas, or just before the summer beach season, but don't even make it for a month before the difficult workouts ground them into quitting. Don't be one of these start and quit health enthusiasts.
