Yes when it comes to fat loss there are activities that are better at getting results than others, so let’s talk about them!
1) Correct Nutrition.
You can’t out train a shitty diet. Period. More importantly to lose fat you MUST be in a calorie deficit. It doesn’t matter if you do keto, paleo or Intermittent Fasting, CALORIES are KING. In addition, getting an adequate amount of protein DAILY is imperative. 0.8-1g/ per pound of Bodyweight. Super important for maintaining lean muscle during a fat loss phase, & I’ll explain why in a sec.
2) Activity that burns calories, promotes muscle mass, elevates metabolism (metabolic resistance training)
Calories burned is determined by resting metabolic rate (RMR) & is largely due to the amount of muscle you have on your body. More muscle mass, more calories burned, less Body fat!
(Strength Training)
Your training sessions should include a fine mix of the foundational movement patters. These will be the big compound movements that recruit a lot of muscle , get you strong and lean!
The Foundational Movement Patterns are as follows:
Squat, Hinge, Push, Pull, Lunge, Carry.
3️) Activity that burns calories, elevates metabolism. (HIIT)
Same idea we want to eat up calories here & promote EPOC. All this means is, continue to burn calories after the training session.
Sprints, TABATA, HIIT, etc.
4)Activity that burns calories but doesn’t necessarily maintain muscle or elevate metabolism.
This is going to be the icing on the cake, activities that will burn calories but doesn’t have a metabolic effect. This will be the LEAST effective when trying to lose fat
Distance jogging, Low intensity steady state cardio, daily walks. Etc.
If you’re someone on the quest to fat loss, remember this stuff takes time & that’s okay. With the right tools in your arsenal, consistency & patience, you’ll make it happen!
