Exercise is a vital component to losing weight quickly and effectively. It is always better to burn fat than to diet while starving yourself. Exercise will increase your metabolism, energy and health.
There are two types of exercise aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic means that you require air, which is when you exercise at a moderate pace for a longer period of time. Examples are jogging, swimming, jumping. These are great for keeping your cardiovascular system healthy. Fat will actually be burned during this exercise.
Anaerobic is when you have no air because the exercise is intense. The main type of exercise for this is weight training. This is great for increasing your metabolism, after a workout your metabolism can increase for up to 48 hours. The more you increase your muscle mass, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn per day automatically.
It is best to do aerobic exercise in the morning on an empty stomach. This way you will get optimal fat burning results, since your body will have to go directly to its fat stores for energy. After about 30 to 60 minutes of moderate exercise, you should have a healthy breakfast, such as a smoothie or oatmeal.
You should aim to lift weights three times a week. Only train each body part once a week to avoid overtraining, a good way is to do legs on Monday, back on Wednesday and chest on Friday. Make sure you have an energy-dense meal post-workout to give your muscles the nutrients they need to rebuild.
