Burn more calories to lose weight

The best and fastest way to lose weight or maintain one’s weight is by burning more calories that you take in.  This requires proper mindset.

 

It goes without saying that it’s easier to take in calories than it is to burn calories.  So, if we look at it that way, the natural progression for the next type of question would be “what is the best way to burn calories?” But if we are looking for a way to lose weight quicker, we want to look at ways to burn calories quicker, right?  ANY kind of physical activity is better than NO activity.

The two basic kinds of workout activities are good for all of you. Both will make you fit and both are used by millions of people around the world. But remember … what is the fast way to burn calories?

The two activities are – a cardio workout and a weights/resistance workout.  So let’s compare the two in terms of calorie burning. If you give a solid, honest one hour effort for each workout, the weights/resistance workout will burn more calories. Not only that, you will burn more calories when the workout is over for a longer period of time with this kind of workout as well.

But here lies the problem with the weights type of workout.  Most people, especially beginners, don’t give a true honest effort because it’s “too hard”, as they do not have the will power to do so.  Besides, people spend way too much time between sets, which causes the actual work out to be longer. As this longer workout is less appealing to people, they don’t continue this type of workout.

In such situation, their only option is the cardio type of workout, which is still a good workout.
