Your Weight! Your Health! Your Skin!

One of the most burning questions that everybody who wants to lose weight asks is related to the best fat burning exercises that one can do to achieve great weight loss results.

The best result will come from doing exercises that will engage big muscle groups. The biggest muscles in your body are in . .

DRUMROLL . . . . Your Legs!

There I said it!

So if your goal is to lose weight, tone your body, melt off your love handles, lose weight on your thighs and everything, you need to devote more time doing leg exercises. In fact if one of your biggest desire is to have a flat stomach, all the time that you are using doing ab crunches should be used doing leg exercises.

The reason why ab crunches don’t help you reach your goals is because they do not burn fat. The muscles that are being used are too small to yield any kind of results.

And the good news is doing leg exercise will help you burn fat – effectively too. Not just on your legs but throughout the rest of your body! We know that doing exercises to lose weight on one part of your body does not help, but exercises that require the use of a lot of muscles will burn more calories.

You Want Results? These fat burning fat exercises will burn fat and give a great looking lower body:

1. Squats

Squats are the king when it comes to lower body exercises. The reason why they are so effective in burning fat and firming and toning your lower is because they engage ALL of your lower body and core muscles. So if you are looking for lean and firm thighs, start squatting today.

2. Front Squats

Front squats are not for the lazy, because they are extremely challenging. They become even more challenging if you do them with weights, but they deliver results very fast because they muscles that you need to perform this exercise is massive. So give it a try, it will be hard in the beginning but as you get fitter it will become easier.

3. Forward-Backward Lunges

This is also extremely challenging because it involves you doing a lunge where you step backward, drop down into your lunge, and then push forward into a forward lunge. Then push backwards into a reverse lunge, and repeat. Ii challenge you to do it, and let me know. Its a challenge that I have given myself also, so I look forward to the day when I can do 5 at a time!

4. Deadlifts

What I like this exercise is that it also tones your back as tones the rest of you. They use a lot of the muscles, which make them extremely effective. With a small weight I only managed to do 5 at a time so I have quite a bit to go in the fit department.

5. Step-Ups

Step-ups are like doing 1-leg squats. They target your glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves.

I think you get the point of how powerful leg exercises are in getting you strong legs and burning fat. All you need to do now is incorporate some of these exercises in your exercise routine, and watch the kind of results that you are going to get.

Hi there,

If you are like me, you will embrace any method that you can use to ensure you burn calories without exercising or going to the gym. Exercise is great and I love doing it, but I definitely will say yes to any help I can get to ensure my body burns the calories that I want it to. Here are the top foods that you want to have included in your diet:

1. Fruits. We know fruits are good for our bodies but we are talking about fruit that are rich in vitamin C. The vitamin C helps in releasing the fat from the body, thereby helping with calorie burning. The fruits include Apples, Water melon, Oranges, strawberry, lemons and Grapefruit

2. Vegetables. These vegetables also contain vitamin C and they work pretty the same way that the fruits work. These include cucumber, Carrots, Tomatoes, Chilies, Broccoli, Cabbage and Celery

3. Green tea. It increases your metabolism and burns calories.

4. Dairy products like cheese and milk. Dairy products contain calcium and protein. The calcium and protein that comes from low fat products help with weight loss.

5. Foods that are high in fiber. These include whole grain food like whole grain pasta or bread. The body works harder to burn fiber in your body. The harder it works the more calories it will burn.

6. Lean meats. Chicken, turkey, sirloin are rich in iron. Iron forms hemoglobin in your body and it carries the oxygen in your red blood cells. Without the optimal amount of oxygen in the body, which means less hemoglobin, your energy levels will drop and so will your metabolism. A drop in metabolism means lower calories burned.
7. Garlic. Yes I know what you are thinking, it may leave your mouth smelling and undesirable but not only does garlic have healing advantages, it boosts your metabolism.

I bet most of these foods are in your kitchen cupboards right now, and what will be left for you to do is to include them as part of your daily nutrition. These foods are great also if used as snack, as opposed to the candy and chips.

Malnutrition is not to be taken lightly, so strife to have a balanced healthy meal at all times. These foods can be a great help if included in your nutrition but the best way to help them work their magic is to include an exercise plan in your daily life. Exercise still remains the best calorie burning thing that you can do.
