Are you embarrassed to be seen in shorts or a bathing suit?  If yes is your answer, it is possible that you may be able to change your appearance for the better now and for the rest of your life.

It is essential that you understand these three things, before I go any further

• many people think that fat loss and weight loss are the same thing; they are not
• you can lose weight by dieting, but you dont lose fat by dieting
• there is only one way for fat loss to occur and that is by exercising

Therefore, if you want to lose the excess fat on your body, the only option you have is to bring fat burning exercise into your life.

Does An Optimum Fat Burning Exercise Exist?

There is no such thing as a best exercise routine for fat loss.  However, there is an exercise routine that would suit you best, given your likes and dislikes and your life circumstances.

Exercise falls into two general classifications. They are aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.

Jogging, swimming, brisk walking and bicycle riding are some examples of aerobic fat burning exercise activities. An example of anaerobic exercise is strength or resistance training.  There are other examples of anaerobic exercise, but to discuss them in this article would cause me to deviate from the main message of this article.

A good strength training regimen is most effective in achieving fat loss.  However strength training does not appeal to everybody.  You will achieve your fat loss objectives by doing aerobic exercise that burns fat, without doing strength training.

How You Burn Fat During Aerobic Exercise?

Fat burning does not occur at the beginning of an exercise session. Your body goes through some stages before it begins to burn fat. Initially you will only burn carbohydrates for energy. This lasts for approximately 10 minutes. At that point, you begin to use fat for energy.

Fat burning does not occur if you have not reached the level of exertion that is right for you. The right level for you has you exercising hard enough for your body to want more oxygen.   How can you tell if it is the right level for you?

1. you are breathing at a faster pace than is usual, but you are not gasping for air
2. you may have some perspiration at the small of your back and at the back of your neck
3. If  you are “out of breath” and find it difficult to speak, while exercising, you are pushing yourself too hard for your current level of fitness

If you experience dizziness or lightheadedness, it is not a good sign. It means that you are overexerting yourself and you should stop.

Your body will not begin to burn fat for energy, if you do not exert yourself sufficiently. Carbohydrates will remain the energy source for your body. If this is what happens, you will lose mostly water weight, which leads to a decrease in your metabolism. This is the opposite of what you want, because the higher your metabolism the more fat you will burn.

Also please understand that just because you reached the fat burning stage, does not mean you will stay there. You will continue to burn fat if you maintain the pace that is right for your body.

What Type Of Exercise Will You Do To Lose Fat?

You need to carefully research all your options, before choosing the  best exercise regimen for you. If you get this wrong, you will become frustrated and upset. It could even lead you to abandoning your weight loss efforts.

Will you do aerobic exercise or weight training? Or will you do both?

What form of aerobic exercise will be most efficient for you to help you to lose your unwanted fat?
