Weight loss exercises. Exercise helps you to lose your love handles and tone your muscles. Two types of activities, aerobic and anaerobic exercises will help with weight loss.
What are aerobic exercises? The latter hinges on you breaking into a sweat as you work at moderate intensity over a period of half to one hour. This works your heart and lungs, taking in more oxygen for you to cope with the exercise. The energy expended will come from your body fat and the fat burning process will continue a few hours after your workout. Suitable weigth loss aerobic exercises are jogging, swimming, squash or singles tennis.
Anaerobic exercises on the other hand, allow you to take breaks in between sets due to the high amount of effort needed. You also may or may not break into a sweat. Think of doing repetitions in an air-conditioned gym and the time lapsed and the few minutes rest required between each set. For anaerobic weight loss exercises, you do not take need to take in as much oxygen. As a result, it is carbohydrates (not fat) that is burnt, but is also essential in any weight loss program. However, you are burning fat, but indirectly. Due to the explosive nature of anaerobic exercises, it builds up your muscles, increasing your metabolic rate and burning fat even after your exercise.
Remember you need to have a medical checkup prior to adding exercise to your weight loss program and not run to the gym and start training like a ferocious animal. A improvement in fitness should be attained gradually to prevent injury. Slow and steady is the way to go for weight loss.
