Best Exercises for Fast Weight Loss

Looking for the best exercises for fast weight loss?

As long as we are on this earth "experts" are going to argue over the question of best exercises.  The truth is that there are many very good weight loss exercises. It is more a matter of finding something that you enjoy.

Find an exercise that you enjoy, combine it with intensity and you have a winner!

In fact, when it comes to losing weight, intensity plays a far bigger role than type of exercise.

There have been many myths surrounding exercise intensity and how it relates to weight loss. The most prevalent of all is the myth about the "fat burning zone". The fat burning zone is simply the heart rate range at which your body burns the most fat.  Whenever you exercise your body draws on carbohydrates (typically a sugar called glycogen) and fat. It is scientifically proven that during slow paced, low intensity exercises, such as walking, the human body burns a greater percentage of fat than carbohydrates.

The percentage of fat burned during low intensity exercises is typically from 50 to 60 percent of total calories burned. During high intensity exercises, the percentage of fat calories burned is typically around 30 percent.

Many "experts" have taken this out of context and recommended low intensity exercises as the best exercises for fast weight loss because they keep you in the "fat burning zone".  However, if you are overweight, your goal should be to burn the maximum amount of fat calories when you exercise. High intensity exercises burn more overall fat calories than low intensity exercises.

For instance, you could walk for one hour and you would typically burn around 200 calories. Conversely, you could run for half the time (30 minutes) and you would typically burn about 700 calories. During the walk about 120 of the total calories burned would be fat and during the run about 210 of the total calories burned would be fat.
The run burns far more calories and therefore it winds up burning more fat calories!

Running and other high intensity exercises also have the extra benefit of a longer impact on your metabolism. After an intense workout you will continue to burn calories at a high rate. It is very similar to your car engine, after a long trip it takes a long time to cool down.

When it comes to the best exercises for fast weight loss, high intensity exercises will yield faster weight loss results.
