How does the fat burning process work?
The body gets energy from fats and carbohydrates.Carbohydrates break down faster, so the body uses them first.When carbohydrate reserves are used up, the breakdown of adipose tissue begins.Constant low- or moderate-intensity physical activity is also necessary for fat burning.
Tips and rules for doing the exercises
Adhering to the following rules will make training more effective:
- Periodic change of the training program.The body gets used to stress, so that the weight loss does not stop, the exercises must be changed every month.
- The optimal duration of the lessons is 1-2 hours.Do not overload the body, as this leads to muscle exhaustion.
- Frequency of training.It is advisable to exercise 5 days a week, 2 days for rest and regeneration.
- Increasing load.The intensity of training should be increased from time to time.You can increase the number of sets and repetitions, shorten the intervals between exercises, run faster, or increase the duration of your cardio.
- The optimal weight of the shells should be such that you can lift them no more than 12-20 times per approach.Low weight does not lead to increased metabolic processes.
- Equipment selection.Sports equipment should allow you to increase the load.The equipment should be comfortable.
