Anaerobic Exercise and burning fat

The words aerobic and anaerobic refer to different energy systems that the cells access during exercise. Aerobic system means oxygen is utilized and the anaerobic system means cells can utilize energy without oxygen.

To burn fat during any exercise cells need oxygen and this takes time. For this reason we need to exercise at a much slower pace if we wish to utilize excess fat stores. If we exercise at a harder pace the cells are force to use carbs. The problem with exercising at a slower rate is we use up less total calories so we would need to workout for longer periods to gain any real fat loss results.

There are ways to workout less and boost the body's fat burning rate. This is to exercise anaerobically in a way that boosts the metabolism so the cells use up much more energy stores after the exercise has finished.

Learn more about how the internets top fat loss expert does this.

It may be best for very overweight individuals or those who haven't exercised for a long period to start off lightly or train aerobically until a little fitness has been developed before attempting anaerobic type exercises.

A tip in controlling food consumption

One day after training I was searching the cupboards and fridge for something nice to eat. I was very hungry and started nibbling on one thing, then found something else and ate that, then went into the fridge to hunt down more food. As I was looking in the fridge a bottle of milk caught my eye, there was only a mouthful left and being a little thirsty I thought it would be a good idea to finish it off. I unscrewed the top and lifted the milk bottle towards my mouth but just as it reached my mouth I caught the smell, the milk was off!

The smell was horrendous; I immediately pushed it away and tipped it down the sink. However what I noticed was the experience actually killed my appetite, yes ten minutes later I did eat but it was only a fraction of what I would normally eat after a hard training session. This horrible smell actually caused me to eat less food. I thought this would make a great little tip for people trying to lose weight, as when some of us try to cut down on eating it sometimes causes a ravenous appetite, which may cause us to eat a little more at meal times. But if we had something near by that had an awful smell it may help some of us cut down. Whatever is used to smell could be anything as long as it is awful to the individual and also safe and not dangerous to others or pets around the house. In my case sour milk worked fine!!
