Burn Fat

You’ve heard the formula that to lose weight you have to spend more calories than you consume. Specifically, 3500 calories for every pound of weight you want to lose.

Well, that’s only partially true.  Are You Still Counting Calories?

You Want to Lose Fat; Not Muscle or Water

You should be more concerned about your body fat than your body weight.  Fear not the Scale.

And, if you just concentrate on “Cardio”, you may not get the results you want. Well, sure you might get weight loss but chronic cardio, without the addition of muscle building exercise, leaves you at risk for the wrong kind of weight loss: muscle and water.

• Cardio is No Longer King

While we’re on the subject of Cardio, what many people don’t know is that recent evidence strongly suggests that “chronic cardio” may not protect you from heart disease, as so often believed, but actually might be a cause of it.

• One Simple Change in Your Exercise Routine that Melts Fat

Before you start down the path of weight loss, you need to know a couple of things.

• Your body weight. Easy enough. Step on a reliable scale, naked, first thing in the morning. Aim for the same time. Do this for seven days in a row and take the average.
• The composition of your body weight. Specifically, how much of your total weight is fat. You can take the Fusion Performance Standards Assessment which will give you an estimate of your body fat or use skin fold testing with special calipers that will calculate your body fat.
