Lose Weight With A Calculator (Part 3)

     The key to fat loss is performing these exercises at the right capacity, which will put you in the best fat-burning zone. In other words, you should be exercising at 60% to 70% of your maximum heart rate reserve. Your fitness trainer will also check your pulse to insure that you are staying within the fat burning zone and will adjust your workout accordingly.  

     Anaerobic exercises are used to build muscles and strength. In addition to a healthy cardiovascular program, muscle building is a powerful way to boost metabolism. This is because a pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat. Therefore, if you have more muscle in your body, burning more calories is the result. A fitness program designed to lose fat and boost metabolism should always include strength training. Muscle building plays a supportive role to cardiovascular exercise. 

     The last part to calculate is what you put into your body. Do not sabotage your progress by eating foods that contain large doses of saturated fat. Read the labels and maintain portion control by eating five to six small meals throughout the day. Drink at least eight glasses of water daily to replenish the water your body will expel during exercise. Water also helps you feel full. Instead of grabbing the junk food, try drinking a cold bottle of refreshing water. 

     Your personal fitness trainer can help you stay on track by designing a nutritional meal plan that is right for you. He or she will consider your likes and dislikes, your lifestyle and your schedule in choosing your daily menu.
