Still having problems trying to find the best types of workouts to lose weight? On the other hand, what type of weight do you want to lose?

Weight (when attempting to be lost) can be termed as three things: water, muscle, and fat. Now most people obviously mean to lose fat when they say they want to lose weight. However, losing weight in the form of either muscle or water or even both can affect your chances of losing fat.

First I will explain to you why/how losing muscle and/or water can harm your chances of losing fat, and then I let you know of a few good workouts to lose weight. This is a short explanation, and I will not use any big scientific terms when explaining.

The Reason

While losing muscle your metabolic rate or metabolism will decrease therefore you can't burn as many calories as you normally would. The fact is that if you can't burn calories, you can't expect to burn as much fat. So, prevent muscle loss by way of resistance training, i.e. weight training and gym work.

The chances of dehydration increases with water loss! Which leads to muscle loss and both muscle loss and dehydration will greatly harm your chances of burning fat. Prevent water loss by simply, drinking lots of water during the day before you workout. It is recommended to drink at least 3-4 litres a day and more if you plan on having really intense workouts.

The List of Fat Burning Exercises

Fat is basically an unused energy source, so the best workouts are those that force you to use up heaps of energy. For that reason, it will only go if it is used up. Remember that these exercises can only work if you stay committed. So here are the four best fat burning exercises.

• Interval Training

• High Intensity Interval Training

• Tabata Sprints

• Circuit Training

In my opinion, these are four of the best forms of fat burning exercises that are known today! Moreover the great thing about these routines is that you can incorporate it to your liking. You have the option of doing it as sprints or with weights. Whatever you choose it will definitely force you to use up loads of energy!

In Conclusion

Carrying out these types of fat burning exercises will have a great effect on your body. I would recommend that you to do these routines in cardio form (running/sprinting) on one day and then do it in resistance training form the next. It is also important to consume a lot of water and keep hydrated during your workouts.
