Fat Burning Secrets for WomenNow that you understand the special physiological challenges women face, let’s talk about how to overcome them to attain the strong, trim, fit body you really want. Exercise is the key to fat burning. If you do one thing, incorporate 2 – 3 strength and cardio workouts into your weekly routine using the following 10 tips. The results are guaranteed!
Here are my top 10 fat-burning secrets for women. 1. Warm up before a strength training session – Warming up increases blood flow to muscles by about 55%, giving you better muscle contraction. You’ll sweat earlier, which helps to regulate your body temperature. It also jump starts the neuromuscular connection which initiates the release of carbohydrate and fat enzymes and hormones while reducing your perceived exertion during strength training. Just 5 minutes of walking or cycling will meet this requirement. 2. Vary your cardio exercises – Alternate between two or more cardiovascular activities like walking and cycling or kickboxing and step aerobics, like you would during a fitness boot camp program. This will help to optimally develop your cardiovascular fitness, maintain the element of fun in exercise, help you avoid over-training, as well as injury. Bottom line, you will expend more calories.
