Ask any man or women why they are starting or currently doing an exercise program, and most will say fat loss. Losing that bulge around your belly and the ugly fat that keeps you from feeling, performing and looking your best is a common goal. Unfortunately, most people don’t reach their fat loss goals, even those on a fat loss exercise program. Make your your workout program follows these 3 principles to have the best chance at success.
Your Fat Loss Exercise Program Should Not Sacrifice Fitness, Strength Or Muscle
Yes, your main goal may be to lose fat. But that does not mean you should sacrifice everything else. Do not start an exercise training program that is so single-minded in seeking burning fat, that it sacrifices your fitness, strength or muscle.
The fact is, your fat loss workouts should also improve fitness, increase strength and build muscle. Therefore, when you do lose those pounds of fat, you reveal an attractively athletic body underneath. Even though burning fat is the focus of your workout, don’t lose sight of the ultimate goal of your exercise program.
Your Fat Loss Exercise Program Should Be A Combination Of Resistance Training And High Intensity Cardio
When people think of fat burning workouts, they think of long, slow cardio workouts (like jogging, biking, rowing, etc. ), in their “target heart rate zone”. And frankly, this medium effort workout philosophy fits with many people’s personality. They just don’t want to work that hard.
But the fact is, you must be willing to put in the effort to reach your goals. The more effort you put in, the faster you burn fat. So, instead of looking for the “easy” way to burn fat. . . attack the fat with a combination resistance training and high intensity cardio workout. Don’t give fat a chance!
Your Fat Loss Exercise Program Should Be Accompanied By A Comprehensive Nutrition Plan
Now, I know this article is about an exercise program to burn fat, but the truth is, your nutrition plan is the most important to reach your body changing goals. You need a nutrition plan that is designed to eliminate fat AND give you the energy you need for your workouts.
“Eat less and exercise more” is the common belief for losing fat. But a better way to think about is “eat better and exercise better”. Combining your exercise efforts with a nutritional diet is the best way to eliminate fat and build an attractive body you can be proud of.
Follow these exercise program principles for fat loss and you’ll be ahead of the game. And if you want to take a shortcut to finding the right workout program for you, look for a workout program ALREADY getting great results that fits your goals, needs and personality. Then get busy burning the fat and building your best body!

Building a strength training routine can be one of the trickiest parts of a fitness program. Ask 10 personal trainers what the best strength training routine is and you will get 10 different answers. Below are 7 must-know guidelines to use when building a strength training program. Each guideline provides the basic foundation that all strength training programs abide by. Learning the proper way to use free weights will greatly improve your strength, fitness, and health levels.

1) We cannot strength train a muscle today and tomorrow. We have to allow at least 24-36 hours of rest. Lifting on consecutive days leads to overtraining, muscle fatigue, and possible injury. All of our strength gains are made during the rest time!

2) We cannot spot reduce. This means if we want to lose weight in our stomach, doing 100 crunches a day will not make our stomach flab disappear. To reduce stomach fat, we need an overall reduction in body fat. Reducing overall body fat results from eating well, regular exercise, and proper rest.

3) We can spot tone. If we want bigger biceps, we can strength train for hypertrophy (fancy word for muscle growth). It is possible for us to focus on one specific muscle group. This is sometimes called targeted training. Studies have shown that machines isolate a muscle better than free weights.

4) Our strength training routines must be regular and consistent for results to take place. It took us years to put on the weight. We shouldn’t expect it to all fall off in three weeks. The best outcome from your fitness and strength training program should be a lifestyle change. Replace bad habits with healthy ones and reap the rewards.

5) Realize that our strength training routine must be changed every 4-6 weeks. This will prevent our body from hitting a plateau and it will keep things interesting. We can change our method, our exercise or our intensity level. Not changing our routine on a regular basis will eventually stop producing results. We will continually grow stronger as we progress with our fitness program. Be sure your body is challenged on every workout.

6) Our strength training routines must be built according to our specific goals. Specific goals may be: fat loss, hypertrophy, maintaining weight or adding bulk. Each goal will have a different method that is best suited for optimal results. Someone who is interested in losing body fat will strength train differently than someone looking to increase muscle bulk. Knowing what your specific goals are will aid in creating the best strength training program possible.

7) Our strength training routines must work all of the major muscle groups in our body 1-3 times per week. This includes our biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, back, abs, quads, glutes, hamstrings and calves. Leaving out muscle groups will create an imbalance.

By using these 7 guidelines, anyone should be able to build a decent and effective program. The idea is to develop a safe strength training routine that provides us with major health and fitness benefits. Strength training has certainly increased in popularity over the past few years. Knowing how to build a strength training routine for our specific goals will move us one step closer to a fit body.
