The Most Effective Fat Burning Exercise

By

What are the essentials of using exercise as a tool to influence maximum fat burning? I will show you an approach to exercise that targets your own individual body type. This is designed to be the most effective fat burning exercise for you.

There are two basic types of exercise: aerobic, and anaerobic:

Aerobic exercise is essentially a low-intensity, endurance type of exercise. The aerobic system runs at a slow to moderate pace. The heart rate is usually between 127 and 130 beats per minute (bpm). Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, mild treadmill, biking, light jogging, light swimming and similar activities which maintain the required heart rate.

Anaerobic is a higher-intensity, higher pulse rate resistance type of exercise. The anaerobic energy system gets activated at a much higher pulse rate, around 145 beats per minute or more. Even a slow pulse rate can activate anaerobic if the intensity is high enough. Some anaerobic examples of intense exercise include running, jogging, fast treadmill, soccer, hockey, basketball, wrestling and weight training. It also includes activities such as bike riding and swimming, if the activity is intense enough to reach the point where the necessary higher heart rate is achieved.

Whether you use aerobic and/or anaerobic, and to what extent, depends on which of the four basic body types you fall into. The four types are: The Adrenal, The Thyroid, The Liver, and The Ovary.
If you are an Adrenal body type, the most effective fat burning exercises are aerobic exercises, because the adrenals will have been overworked already. Putting them into too much stress would make things worse. An over stimulation of the adrenals glands can trigger the stress hormone cortisol, and cortisol will make you fat. For the Adrenal body types, intense exercise will block the rejuvenation and repair of the body. In some cases, the person will even gain weight with exercise.
The Ovary types have lower-body cellulite fat, which needs a combination of both aerobic endurance exercise and anaerobic resistance exercise. Anaerobic exercises are the most effective fat burning exercises for both the Liver types and Thyroid types. In the case of athletes and many young people with a high metabolism, weight loss can occur using both aerobic and anaerobic despite their specific body types and either type is an effective fat burning exercise.

When you start to plan a weight loss program, it is very important you understand the different types of exercise so you can choose the best ones for yourself. You'll then be able to find the most effective fat burning exercises for your particular body type. All too many of us approach their weight loss program all wrong and have difficulty understanding why they are not seeing significant results after weeks of hard work.

In summary, for adrenal types the most effective fat burning exercises are aerobic exercises, for the liver and thyroid types the most effective fat burning exercises are anaerobic exercises, while the ovary types will have success with both aerobic and anaerobic exercises.
