Weight Training
A well known way to accelerate fat burning is aerobic training such as walking, riding a stationary bike, or running.

Aerobic training should not overdone and be used only in addition to a good weight training program. Additionally, it should never be used as a substitute for weight training since it does not permanently increases your metabolism nor the ability to re-shape your body.

Best Times To Perform Aerobic Activity

Timing plays a very important role for effective aerobic exercise. To get the most out of aerobic exercise it needs to be performed at the appropriate times. There are only two times that aerobic exercise is effective in burning fat.

1. In The Morning On An Empty Stomach:

If you plan to burn fat through cardiovascular exercise like treadmill, walking or running, the best time is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Be sure to drink a large glass of water to prevent dehydration.

Cardiovascular exercise performed at this time will burn 300% more body fat that at any other time in the day because your body does not has any glycogen (stored carbohydrates-sugar) in the system to burn. In order to get the energy necessary to complete the activity, it has to go directly into the fat stores.

2. Right After Weight Training:

Immediately after a weight training session is also a good time for aerobic exercise. Why? Because when exercise is not performed first thing in the morning it takes your body anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes to start burning fat.

It takes this time for the body to deplete its glycogen stores and switch to a fat burning environment.

This means that you would have to perform aerobic exercise for 20-30 minutes just to get to the fat burning stage and for an additional 20 minutes just so that you burn fat. In other words, you would be spending 50 minutes instead of 20 - 30 minutes to get the same result.

More than 6 aerobic sessions a week should be avoided.

Remember that more is not always better and this is particularly true when it comes to aerobic exercise.
