Have you ever seen an overweight athlete or body builder? Probably not! Why can boxers or UFC fighters cut weight in a hurry? The answer is high fitness level.
The higher the fitness level, the easier it is to burn fat. Fat cells are living organisms with enzymes that store fat and release fat. The higher the fitness level the more fat releasing enzymes the fat cells possess. Fat releasing enzymes grow larger and larger and this means more fat is released and burned as energy both during exercise and while at rest.
Increasing fitness level requires increasing intensity of exercise, the harder you work the more your fitness level will increase, this means working hard for 20-60 seconds then recovering similar to the way we train at fitness boot camp. This may require lifting heavier weight, doing more reps or moving faster.
Start doing short bouts of hard exercise and start burning more fat today!
* If you have health conditions like heart disease, hypertension or diabetes check with your doctor before increasing exercise intensity. If you have not exercised in a while start slowly.
