A Fat Burning Exercise Program

The sample fat burning exercise program outlined below will give you 2.5 hours of moderate cardio and a minimum of 2 hours of strength training. That will put you right in the weight loss zone of just over 250 minutes per week of moderate exercise, as recommended by the ACM (see page 1). Of course, you can mix and match as is right for your body and schedule, and increase intensities as appropriate.

Diet and Weight Loss

An article on exercise and fat burning wouldn't be complete without mentioning the other half of the fat burning equation: what you eat. Diet and exercise go together to promote weight loss -- after all, you could do all the cardio and Pilates in the world and never lose any weight if you eat all the calories back. Here are some resources that will help with the dietary part of your weight loss project:
