Recently my friend Sean Bissell, The First Diet author, wrote an interesting post in one of his Facebook groups about how dietary fat is stored, and why it’s not necessarily the best macronutrient to be consuming in large quantities if you want readily-available energy, especially if you’re doing high-intensity weight training or cardio.
Here’s what he wrote. I’ve posted some comments below to elaborate on some of the whacky ideas about eating a high-fat diet for ‘quick’ energy.
The best exercise to lose weight is, unfortunately, non-existent because there is no single exercise that contributes to weight loss on its own.
However, by the time you get done with this article, you’ll be fully equipped to get the most out of your exercise routine to lose weight (mostly from fat) and keep it off.
In saying that, let’s go over some of the ideas for why you’re looking for the best exercise to lose weight.
If you’re looking for a magic pill, or one weird trick (such as a special move, or type of exercise), let me burst your bubble.
Workout plans are a dime-a-dozen on the internet, and you need one that is not only effective but one that you can stick to for the long term. And this is true regardless of whether you want to build muscle, lose fat, do a little bit of both or just get stronger.
There’s a lot that goes into deciding what type of workout plan is best for you, and when you understand how a training program is put together, it’s easier to make a decision on which program will be best for you.
In this article, we’re going to cover training frequency, schedule preferences, fat loss and muscle gain goals, and I’ll give program options as we go.
NOTE: please keep in mind it’s impossible to detail every single type of training program or protocol on one article. There are thousands of books written on the subject. I’m merely giving you what I think are some of the best workout plans for building muscle, losing fat and building an aesthetic physique.
Training frequency typically means how often you’re training during the week. However, this can have a few meanings depending on how you look at it, so let’s do that.
Training Frequency:
For instance, the classic body-part split programs will have you training each body part once per week, so if you want to hit your entire body equally over a seven day period, you might be required to have five to six sessions in seven days.
What are the best exercises to lose belly fat?
Main points:
Idea #1: Training shouldn’t, and doesn’t have to be gender-specific.
Idea #2: Training frequency can determine intensity.
Idea #3: I like to make training program with limbs as the primary focus, and core the secondary. Note: this doesn’t mean you must train this way all the time.
Final idea: Exercises alone do not burn belly fat — it’s a combination of a fat loss diet, and a sound training program.
