Fat Loss Program

Losing weight by undergoing fat loss program can be a real problem for some. An effective fat loss program combines an energy depleting workout, that is physically and mentally challenging, with a nutritional plan that highly demands the intake of healthy organic foods.

The Fat Loss Program

Starting a fat loss program would require you to remove unhealthy foods such as processed foods and sugar filled foods in your refrigerator and kitchen. The program also includes full body workout every other day or 3 times a week and two cardio work outs in each week with 2 day rest for each week of the 6 week fat loss program. The full body and cardio workouts would give better results if performed in a gym where a personal trainer can guide you with the most appropriate routine for the best fat loss results to maximize reduction of body fat percentage.

Cardio Workout

A cardio workout may include a series of hill sprints and alternate with the use of exercise ball, reverse crunches and wheel roll outs from the knees. This routine will end with a 5 to 10 minute cooling down. The cardio work out for the succeeding weeks should be more intense such that hill sprints are done at a longer span of time while using a lateral medicine ball and the heaviest dumbbells for performing high cable crunches. A full body workout includes exercises such as deadlifts, a chest supported dumbbell row, split squat, single arm dumbbell overhead press, barbell complex and an inverted suspension row. Weights used in the succeeding weeks should be increased by 5 to 10 lbs each week.

Rest and Enough Sleep

A fat loss program should also include the right amount of rest and sleep each night to make sure you have recovered from the rigorous full body workout and cardiovascular workout. A full day rest is essential after three successive days of full body workouts and a cardio workout. Sleep should range from 7 to 9 hours each night. Drinking plenty of water within the day is also essential while healthy snacks should always be ready just in case you get hungry during a workout.

Eat Healthy

Before hitting the gym, make sure that you have eaten the right foods which are essential sources of energy. Gym training with an empty stomach is not advisable since this will not lead to muscle gain. Without the necessary fueling, your workouts will not be productive and intense as they should be. The appropriate meal should be taken 30 to 90 minutes before a training session and should be nutritious enough to provide the necessary nutrients for the workout.

  • The meal must be low in fat since fats slow down digestion but should include foods with nutrients can easily enter the bloodstream.
  • 30 grams of protein rich foods is enough to provide the necessary amino acids for muscle repair and rebuilding.
  • A workout would also require a high amount of carb. Good carb sources that are easy to digest are rice, potatoes, wheat bread, fruits and juices.
