Easy Ways To Burn Calories

The easiest and fastest way to burn calories is by doing muscle training. Also interval training will offer an easy way to burn calories. Interval training is when you’re exercising your body to the max while performing high intensity workouts. Then you will slow down but continue doing low intensity exercises. Riding a bike is a great example of interval training exercise. You ride your bike at a normal speed for the first few minutes than increase to a much faster speed for a minute and perform slower after the minute is up. Then repeat this for the next 30 minutes or so.  Running at a very fast rate for 1 minute followed by 2 minutes of jogging is great interval training also. This is the fastest way to burn calories and it is used by some of the most famous sports figures in the world. Using this method causes an increase in the metabolism and your body will burn more fat faster.

Another easy way to burn calories is to get a dumbbell and do dead lifts. This is a powerful exercise used by many people to build muscle and burn calories. This exercise works almost all the important muscle groups and muscles you may have thought you never had. Women should not be afraid to do this every once in a while because they will not get bulky, they will just increase the fat loss and give their metabolism a great boost. It’s best to start out with smaller weights first then add more after you can handle the smaller weights. The goal to losing fat is by challenging yourself. You just don’t do more than you can handle because you don’t want to risk injuring yourself.

If you like green tea, start drinking more. Green tea increases the metabolism which makes this an easy way to burn calories. Green tea has many other great health benefits also as it has antioxidants that helps cut down on your risk of getting several types of cancers.  Eating protein throughout the day will also boost your metabolism. Your body will use more calories to digest the protein that you eat. Plus when you are building muscle, and doing dead lifts, you will need more protein any way. Get your protein by eating more lean meats, nuts, and beans. Avoid getting your protein from those protein bars because these bars are really junk foods in disguise.
