The most optimal way to burn fat at the gym
treadmill: "fat-burning zone" typically around 120-125 beats per minute (BPM), falls within a moderate intensity zone for most people, the best exercise that I have been recommended for a moderate intensity is walking on the treadmill for around 15-20 min post gym session at an 8% incline at 5KPH (3MPH). This technique minimises muscle loss so you can still look toned and defined for summer.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods. This type of training can significantly increase calorie burn both during and after the workout due to the "afterburn" effect. HIIT can include exercises like sprinting, cycling, jumping jacks, or burpees.
Group Fitness Classes: Classes like spinning, kickboxing, dance cardio, or circuit training can provide a fun and motivational way to burn fat while improving cardiovascular fitness and muscle tone. These type of class can also help work motivation if your struggling with it.
Proper Nutrition: Exercise alone won't be as effective for fat loss without a balanced diet. Focus on consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Monitor portion sizes and avoid excessive consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-calorie snacks. As everyone says these day’s it’s 20% exercise and 80% diet.
Ultimately, the best fat-burning exercise is one that you enjoy and can consistently incorporate into your routine. Variety is key to preventing boredom and ensuring you're working different muscle groups. Additionally, combining different types of exercises, such as mixing cardio with strength training, can provide a well-rounded approach to fat loss and overall fitness.
