5 Simple Ways to Burn More Fat NOW!

1. Nutrition
Your nutrition is going to be the number one step for burning more body fat and getting the fat loss you desire! We as Personal Trainers can’t stress this enough; eating regular meals is important in keeping the body’s metabolism revved. Starving is not the answer because it puts the body in a protective state where it will naturally begin to store fat. By eating small frequent meals every 2 to 3 hours you can prevent the body from doing this and give your body a metabolic boost. Remember the word Breakfast means to Break Fast so start with a nice healthy breakfast full of protein and fiber. At Fitcorp Asia we give every client a food map that gives guidelines and direction for your successful path.

2. Get More Active
Get your bodies moving! When you sit you burn more calories than lying; when you stand you burn more calories than sitting; walking burns more than sitting and running more than walking. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or walk instead of taking a motorbike. These are simple alternatives that will result in higher calorie expenditure per day and an overall loss of excess fat.

It’s a good habit to start your exercise regime in the morning before the excuses begin to pile on over the course of the day.



3. Resistance Training
At Fitcorp Asia we stress resistance training is essential to burning more body fat. Your muscles are the furnace for fat molecules. When your body releases fat into the blood stream it is shuttled to the muscle and used for energy. The more muscle or lean mass the body has, the more fuel is necessary for activity.

For building muscle it is important to stimulate and challenge the muscle fibers. Typically your weight training should be done before any cardio training and before your glycogen stores have been depleted. In this way the body works in an anaerobic realm and is able to bear the heavier loads necessary for muscle gain.

4. Cardio Training


It usually takes the body about 15 minutes of activity before it begins to burn fat. For this reason, it is a good idea to start your cardio training with either a dynamic exercise routine/warm up or do 15 minutes of interval style weight training before your cardio. Unfortunately for all of us adipose or fat is the last energy source that your body reaches for. High intensity training is usually most affective, mixing both anaerobic (load bearing) and aerobic intervals. The load bearing portions will discourage the body from using muscle as a fuel source as it is necessary for the work and the aerobic phase will continue the process of energy consumption. Over time watch the fat melt away.

5. Variation
Finally, you must provide your body with variation. Your body quickly adapts to the stimulus provided to it and will find ways to slow down or stop the use of fat as the predominant source of energy. Remember that fat is a means of storage for a rainy day so your body does not want to relinquish its reserves if at all possible. Constantly varying your weight training routine intensities by increasing loads, varying repetitions and mixing up your cardio workouts to include variations of intervals (fast, slow and the duration of the intervals) will result in significant amounts of fat loss.

Jacob's Energy Tips

What’s new!?

Once you stop trying new things, you tend to lack stimulation and that will drive you low on motivation and energy – you might even start feeling old..!
Even though you might not want to; try spicing up your everyday routine with some fresh input. You will be surprised by the energy boost it can give you. Just start on a small scale. Walking instead of driving or squatting to pick that pencil up instead of bending are just a couple things you can do differently. Not only will you burn a few more calories but your back will appreciate the squat over the back bend. What do you have to lose!? Give it go!


Get physical!

Think its hard getting into shape? Getting healthy and raising your energy level takes more than simply exercising 2-3 times a week. You need to make it your lifestyle. Implement it wherever you can in your life and change will come a lot faster.
Look at these simple alternatives you have around you -

USE INSTEAD OF
- stairs - elevators
- front walk - taxis
- parks - sofa
- portions - buffets
- water - soda



Keep your metabolic rate moving
Keep your organs working optimally by make sure you get sufficient nutritional foods.
If your are feeling weak and low on energy it is because you are not eating enough or because you are not eating within all the recommended food groups:
- fruits
- vegetable
- rice (brown rice preferably)
- leguminous fruits
- oils
- fish
- herbs
- fluids
The more effectively your organs can function, the better digestion and detoxification they can perform.


Make “My time”

Put down a time (in your calendar) where it is all about you. Make sure that you are using it for a purpose that primarily serves you and adds to your well-being. Exercise, go to the spa, meditate; go for a brisk walk. It’s really up to you. What matters is that you devote all of your attention to it and benefit from it.


Sugar makes you sour!

Ever noticed how some people get lazy and grumpy a little while after they had their coke in the afternoon or if they skipped their dessert? People with sugar addictions can get large irregular energy boosts and when that energy drops they can become moody. Avoid becoming like that and start taking the sugar out of your diet. Use nature’s sweeteners such as honey & fruits to help you ease out of it your addiction.

I Just Don't get It...

It still boggles me, when people call, email or meet to discuss their needs and to help them with the health and fitness objectives.

Find the professionals, have specific needs, have tried before, failed before, want the best service, want a proven system, strategies to help them stick to their program, their new lifestyle change, stay on track with their nutrition and eating plans.

They know they can be more effective and don't want to be wasting time doing exercise and eating ineffectively, yet, continue to follow the ways of the past, the ways which have proven time and time again, not to work!

Yet, with all the social proof, the systems, the solution. everything they have asked for and need to be successful, still they remain hesitant to take action.

The fear of action. Fear of taking action, fear of success is what prevents people from being successful.

Perhaps it's human nature, to ask for opinions and advice from experts, then turn around and do the complete opposite or continue their stubborn ways.

If you ask for professional advice, from experts who have the experience and proven success, follow it, implement the strategies and take action.

No more wasting money, no more wasting time.

This is one reason why i don't like to spend my time with leaches, those who actually have made no real commitment to change. Fishing for freebies, for advice, for the potential magic bullet, one size fits all magic potion solution to their fitness goals, especially when it comes to fat loss.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Eliminate them all from your mind.

Success doesn't come easy, nor does it come cheap. invest in your self, learn from those who have been successful before you, do as they do, make the change, and SUCCEED!

Pretty simple huh?

So get to it.
