Image via WikipediaLosing weight can be an extremely complicated and confusing endeavor. Just going into any bookstore, you will be presented with more ways to diet and exercise than you thought possible. From vegetable diets, to juice fasts to donut diets (ok I made that last one up), there seems to be an endless supply of ways to lose weight.
There is one thing that most people agree on though, and that is with any diet or weight loss plan, you must include some kind of exercise.
In this article I'll explain the simple basics, so you'll know exactly what to do to stimulate your natural fat burning capacity. Doing the right exercises can have a dramatic impact on your ability to easily lose weight.
One misunderstanding about exercise is that most people think that the exercise itself is directly responsible for the weight loss. The exercises build muscle, and the increase in muscle increases your metabolism, and the increase in metabolism is what causes your weight loss.
If you are just a big pile of blubber, you won't be burning much fuel. So when you eat just a little bit, it can turn directly into fat.
When you raise your metabolism, you increase the energy your body burns just from doing your regular everyday activities. This means you can eat a little bit more, and not have to worry about gaining weight.
So how do you do this? By doing exercises that will increase your muscle mass. If you are worried about getting big and bulky, relax. Those girls you see in bodybuilding competitions try extremely hard to get big muscles like that. It doesn't happen naturally like that.
One way to build lean muscle mass is to do lots of reps, with a little bit of weight. Instead of doing one set of eight reps, with 10 kg, try doing one set of twenty reps with only a couple kg. Another idea is to use your own body weight instead of a machine. Sit ups, pull up, push ups can be a great way to quickly increase your lean muscle mass.
It may take some time, but when you start to develop lean muscle mass, you will not only burn fat while you're sitting around, but you'll drastically increase how sexy you look.
