Fat Burning Cardiovascular Exercises

Fat Burning Cardiovascular Exercises

What is the best form of cardiovascular excercise? The answer for this is different by every individual depending on his physical goals, but a genral answer for this is the best for of cardiovascular exercise is which is the most useful and has minimum risks.

Tody treadmill is one the most popular form of cardio being used in gyms and fitnss centers. Walking on a treadmill on a flat grade risks to minimum injury but minimum reward too. As a result to this few calories are burned and it is too high impact for the uncondioned and obese.Minimum risk is involved in walking slow on a flat treadmill with no grade but also minimum rewars are are gained as it does not burn enough calories to reduce the bodyfat.To increase the efficacy of workin on a treadmill there are two ways, one is to increase the excercise rate;you can run and jogg at will. Running and jogging are tow must excercises when it comes to burning the calories, but these two put a lot of stress on the knees and lower back. The unconditioned,seniors or injured should not follow the running part as it may cause a problem to the joints bones and connective tissues.
The second way is increasing the rate of grade of treadmill which becomes equivalent to walking hill and mountains.Incline treadmill walking is an impactfull calorie and fat burner, but it might cause problems to the ones suffering from lower back,knees or foot issues.
SO it is noticed that treadmills have their merits and demerits.Using thid your main cardio will depend upon any factors like injuries and how much indurance you have.

Another very popular type of cardio being in gyms today is stationary cycling. Stationary cycling had almost the same pros and cons as riding a bike outside. I believe moreover cycling is superior to running and jogging as it burns lot of calories without giving any stress to knees and back that it recieves from jogging and running. However, the stress to the joint and back can be generated by intense cycling.

I prefer the elliptical machine due to its non-impact nature and the huge range of motions.You can adjust the ramp,resistance and speed to target the largest lower body muscles without giving any stress to the joints or the spine. Here,there is a possibility of turning up the intensity level of training with minimum risk to injuries.In short elliptical training is a superior form of cardio.

How to Shed Excess fat from your body - Bodybuilding tip


Now these people use body building not get strong,but to get fit,to shed the excess fat from the body and to get ino shape.

You will find people planning,working,talking,searching for guidance,tips etc to shed the excess weight of their body.

They want the best body and in the minimum possible time.It is true that even the professional body builders do bodybuilding not to build body but to because they want to look good.


Excess fat is liked by none and it ruins the looks of an individual.

Working to shed the extra fat makes you look good and also has an advantage that your health improves a lot.


Here are some ways how most gym goers work.

The fact is, to lose all the fat it's not just as simple as exercising consistently.

While exercising can help you reduce significant amount of fat, the real key to lose the excess pounds and to get into shape lies is a combination of doing the CORRECT exercises and having a corresponding perfect diet.

Yes that's the fact.Now its on you if you want to lose a lot of excess fat in less time,you need to follow it.But if you are ok with just simple simple excercises still i would recommend you to have the correct diet.

It is possible that you could work all day in gym and still not lose enough fat as you want because of the incorrect diet.I have even witnessed people gaining weight after joining gym because their diet gets increased and they eat what is not suggested to them.

It takes knowing the right things and doing them consistently to make a difference.If you want to do it,do it with full commitment else dont do it.



First let's start with exercise.

Simply lifting some weights or doing some aerobic exercise,may help you to some extent, but it is not sufficient to get rid of fat in less time.

One of the best fat burning exercises in existence is called HIIT.


It stands for High Intensity Interval Training and it is used by professional athletes and sportsman of all types to get into awesome cardiovascular shape as well as get their bodies into ripped physical condition.

The principle is simple, you simply exercise at intervals that consist of about two minutes of light to medium intensity aerobic exercise followed by about 30 seconds of all out intense exercise.

This is the equivalent of jogging for about two minutes and then sprinting for 30 seconds. That would represent one interval and you repeat these intervals until you complete about 6 to 8. Because of the intensity, most folks cannot handle this type of training early in their regimens.

It is only after months of seriously intense aerobic exercise that you can begin these workouts.

Once you do though, you will see fat fall off you more quickly than anything that you've tried before and your body will stay in this fat burning state for 10 hours after the exercises have been completed.

The next area is nutrition of course. Many folks try calorie and nutrient restricted diets to trim fat and end up trimming muscle instead.

You see, your body is designed to use a combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in such a way as to maintain proper functionality, consistent levels of energy, and consistent or increasing levels of muscle.

When you take anything out of that equation it can disrupt this balance and lead you to experiencing the opposite results of which you wish to achieve.

If you focus on eating a diet that is high in protein, followed by fats and carbohydrates, you can continue to have the energy you need and nutrients your muscles need to continue to grow and maintain your physique.

In addition, as long as you are burning off these calories and not eating excessively then you should be able to maintain consistent fat loss.

Best 3-Minute Abs Excercise to get 6 pack abs

This article tells how to get better six packs in the smallest time duration possible, in only 3 minutes.I have compeiled these ecxercises after a lot of interactions with various gym trainers. You could try different abdominal exercises with the following method but i recommend to do 3 lower abdominal type exercises back to back.
Now whats the difference in this and several other tips available on internet? Jus try it once,the amount of pressure it puts on ur abs will surely answer you.
During this ciruit,you will get a lot of burn in your six-pack, it is more difficult and beneficial for working the abs then the standard approach of doing a set and resting and repeating.

This is what to do:

Exercise No.1 for 30 seconds

Exercise No.2 for 30 seconds

Exercise No.3 for 30 seconds

Do not give any gaps between the excercisies and repeat them once.

Move immediately from exercise 1, 2 and 3 and repeat them all making sure there are no gaps of rest.
This is a real hard work.A great way to tone or shape up your body or to reduce fat,whatever you want.


The 3 exercises I like to use are:


Exercise No.1 - Leg Lowering

Lie face up on the floor and your hands must be underneath your low back. Rest on your elbows and forearms so your head is off the floor, During the set your upper body should remain in this position alltime. Now straighten you legs out and slowly try to lift your legs off the floor.Remember to lift your legs slowly. Try to lift your legs around 2 feet high above the floor and then return and lower them down slowly but don't touch the floor on the descent with your legs. The aim is to lift your legs up and then down without making a contact with the floor for 30 seconds.

You must keep pressure on your hands throughout the set, ensure that your low back at all times stays in contact with your hands. If you feel your back arching bring your tummy in towards your spine. If you find it difficult try bending your legs a little.


Exercise No.2 - Reverse Crunch

This time lie on your back with your head on the floor and arms by your side. Bend your knees so your feet are as close to your hips as possible. Now slowly lift your feet off the floor and make sure that your thighs are vertical. This position is the starting position for every rep; don't start each rep with your feet on the floor.

From the start position gently roll your low back off the floor and try to bring your knees towards your chest. When you reach the furthest position you are capable of achieving pause for a second before returning to the start position. Repeat for 30 seconds.


Exercise No.3 - Knee Push

The start position of this exercise is same as that of the reverse crunch exercise. Lie on your back with your head in contact with the floor during the set. Keep the feet off the floor and thighs in a vertical position.

The aim of the exercise is to push your knees up towards the ceiling. Depending on the strength of your abs will determine whether your butt leaves the floor or not. You are striving to push your knees around one inch upwards, that is enough distance to work the exercise properly.

Keep the head and upper body as relaxed as possible during the exercise, this will make your abs work more. The tempo should be moderate and there shouldn't be any bouncing. Repeat for 30 seconds.

Don't forget when you have done the 3 exercises in a row go back to the first and repeat them all so you get a 3 minute workout.

You could do this workout at home, at the gym, in the office, hotel room, on the balcony, on the beach or outside in the park. There are no limitations with this workout.
