How to Lose The Fat and Still Gain Muscle Simultaneously?
Hundreds of products come out every single day claiming to help you burn fat and build muscle in minutes, days or weeks. These products never work! And you know it. You either end up using that product and screwing yourself up, or you listen to others who bought the product and screwed themselves up.
Of course there are some that DO work, but they are short cuts that don’t give permanent results. Most of the products come up with a single routine to follow forever. Your body adapts to any routine within 4 weeks. Don’t you wonder why you suddenly get stuck when trying to burn fat and build muscle?
It is simple logic that muscle burns fat. Have you seen muscular people getting fat easily? If you build more muscle, your body will use the fat as energy and everything else to help sustain the muscle and increase muscle growth. So why focus on cardio and aerobics when you can focus on building muscle that will automatically help burn the fat?
1. Always go for exercises that target major muscles like the Back, Legs, Chest. Doing exercises for these muscles work all the other muscle fibers at the same time. This gives greater growth for the less but highly intense effort! Deadlifts are more intense than doing leg presses.
2. Be progressive in every workout. Put more effort than you did in your previous exercise. You need to improve on your reps, increase weight or do more exercises in less time. This increases the intensity and stops your body from getting adapted and instead keeps growing muscle anticipating another shocker.
3. Stick to fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grain carbs and lean protein if you really want to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. If you keep eating junk just so you can put on weight, you will end up gaining fat while building muscle. That is an ugly picture.
4. Get rest. This might come as a shocked to you but rest is necessary to build muscle. You don’t build muscle during the workout. It happens during the time you give you rest for your muscles to complete repairs. Take a week off every 8 to 10 weeks for optimum results.
5. Stick to bodyweight exercises and free weights. They are 1000 times better than machines. As long as you aren’t doing ab exercises like the Kneeling Cable Crunch, you should always stick with bodyweight exercises and free weights to get optimal results.
These 5 tips are all you need to get a jump start in your goal to burn fat and build lean muscular physique in the shortest time possible. All you need is focus and persistence to fight for what you deserve.
