Priorities for fat loss

Now if you want to really turn up your fat loss, here are the most effective methods in order of priority:

1 Nutrition: You can lose weight without changing your diet, but it's going to be minimal. Try to eat every 3 hours, eating lean proteins and fibrous veg. Try to time your more complexed carbs at breakfast and post workout. Without a well controlled nutritional plan you will not reach your desired goal!

2 Resistance training, ideally big compound movements to get the body really working. Progress sessions by reducing rest or increasing sets, reps and weights. The more lean muscle you have the more energy you burn at rest RMR (resting metabolic rate). This is the most effective way to train to reduce bodyfat.

3 HIIT (high intensity interval training) if you are performing any cardio work and not including this, you are either happy with your body fat levels or need a swift kick in the bum. HIIT will crank the metabolism and get you losing body fat by increasing your RMR. Burning energy after your workout!

4 Steady state high intensity aerobics, this will expend calories but does not increase RMR.

5 Steady state low intensity aerobic training, not an efficient fat burner at all. Yet you will see most people perform this for weight loss purposes. Only good for relaxtion, not effective for weight loss.

So there you have it. My recommendations on how to prioritise your training, in your battle with your bodyfat. Hope this helps you take your training to the next level!
