Hiit Secrets - Fat Burning Boosters For Your Workout
Have you ever really wondered how some people are able to lose fat easily and others just struggle and sweat but always have that disappointed look on their face?
Imagine you knew a secret or two that made the weight losers into the successes they are. Well if you want to find out those secrets, I will divulge one, however before we start lets first talk about HIIT Training.
If you aren’t doing it, you are severely limiting your ability to lose fat. This is no longer a secret rather a science proven by multiple studies, High Intensity Interval Training is the fastest way to lose body fat. The secret in this article will boost your High Intensity Interval Training results immensely.
I don’t lose fat easily, I can work hard lifting barbells, sticking to a healthy diet and doing intervals through the cane fields for weeks on end without any change in weight.
So does this mean it doesn’t work? Course not. I have found that small tweaks in the details of my programs make the biggest changes to my weight loss. One small change and my weight loss starts galloping at a rate and my trips to the scale end up being a pleasure. It’s during these times I can see the fat burning when I look in the mirror
One of the keys to making your workout more effective relates to the type of muscles you choose to use. If you understand the basics of HIIT, then you may have heard of EPOC.
EPOC is a process that’s initiated after a bout of Interval Training; essentially it’s the body’s way of replacing used up energy. This energy is special because it’s used up inside your muscle. Normally the body will hang onto this energy as its final reserve, but the intensity of High Intensity Interval Training gets the body to give this up, and afterwards your body will run around frantically trying to replace the energy.
If you are on a low calorie diet the only place your body can get energy from is to start mining out those fat reserves. Now the key is this, the bigger the muscle the more capacity it has for energy. Because of this greater capacity, the body has to take more fat reserves and convert them to energy to replace the store.
Just think about it this way, what would use more energy, intense workouts on your whole lower body or going full out on your tricep. So the key is to use larger muscles for greater amounts of weight loss.
