Here we will discuss the essentials of using exercise to influence maximum fat burning. You will learn an approach to exercise which targets your own unique body type and is designed to be the most effective fat burning exercise for your body type

The two main types of exercise are: aerobic, and anaerobic:

Aerobic exercise is essentially a low-intensity, endurance type of exercise. The aerobic system runs at a pace from slow to moderate. The heart rate falls in the range of between 127 to 130 beats per minute (bpm). Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, mild treadmill, biking, light jogging, light swimming and similar activities which maintain the required heart rate.

Anaerobic is a higher-intensity, higher pulse rate resistance type of exercise. The anaerobic energy system kicks in at a much higher pulse rate, around 145 beats per minute or more. It can even get activated with a slow pulse rate if the intensity is high enough. Some anaerobic examples of intense exercise include running, jogging, fast treadmill, soccer, hockey, basketball, wrestling and weight training. It also includes activities such as bike riding and swimming, if the activity is intense enough to reach the point where the necessary higher heart rate is achieved.

The decision to use either aerobic and/or anaerobic will depend on what your body type is. The four body types are: Adrenal Body Type, Thyroid Body Type, Liver Body Type, and Ovary Body Type.

If you have an Adrenal body type, for instance, the most effective fat burning exercises are aerobic exercises, because the adrenals are already overworked. Too much stress will make things worse. An over stimulation of the adrenals glands can trigger the stress hormone cortisol, and cortisol will make you fat. With Adrenal body types, intense exercise blocks the rejuvenation and repair of the body. An Adrenal type person can even gain weight with exercise.

A combination of both aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise is appropriate for the Ovary body types which works best on their lower body and cellulite fat. For Liver body types and Thyroid body types, though, the most effective fat burning exercises are the anaerobic exercises. In the case of athletes and many young people with a high metabolism, weight loss can occur using both aerobic and anaerobic despite their specific body types and either type is an effective fat burning exercise.

When you start to plan a weight loss program, it is very important you understand the different types of fat burning exercise so you can choose the best ones for yourself. This will enable you to choose the most effective fat burning exercise for your particular body type. All too many of us approach their weight loss program all wrong and have difficulty understanding why they are not seeing significant results after weeks of hard work.

For adrenal body types the most effective fat burning exercises are aerobic exercises, for the liver and thyroid body types the most effective fat burning exercises are anaerobic exercises, and the ovary body types can use both aerobic and anaerobic exercises.
