Do you want to lose weight however you’re just not sure how? Well a good exercise plan incorporates all types of training styles from weights to cardio to plyometrics. By using all different styles of training techniques you will never plateau, but continuously lose weight. I’m going to give you a great fat burning exercise plan that will help you lose weight in a healthy manner and you will start to notice a change in just three weeks.
When taking up a new exercise routine there are some thing that you need to remember. This plan has been designed over four days so that you don’t over-exhaust your body. Never push your body too hard otherwise you will be prone to injuries and ligament tears. If you find that this exercise plan is too hard on your body then cut back to 2-3 days a week or reduce reps.
Before starting an exercise make sure that you also take joints through the range of motion they are to be used in by performing the exercise with a very lightweight, so as 15 repetitions would seem easy. Also stretch before and after your workout to reduce next day soreness.
Dynamic stretching should always be used before exercise. This type of stretching involves quick movements of the joints like circling the arms, twisting the back, swinging the leg and rotating the ankles. This warms up the muscles for the workout.
Static stretching should always be used after exercise. This type of stretching comprises of holding the stretch. This relaxes the muscles, releases any tensions and aims to reduce next day soreness. Start from head to toe stretching every muscle group and holding the stretch for 30 seconds. Also try to stretch whenever you get the chance like when you wake up and before you go to bed. This will increase your flexibility in general and reduce soreness.
If you feel any pain at all whilst exercising make sure you stop straight away and do not continue with the workout. Check your technique and then if pain persists see a professional.
When exercising, do every exercise slow and controlled whilst squeezing that muscle group. Try to get a training buddy so you can both push each other. You should be increasing your weight every two weeks.
The most important thing to remember is that consistency is the key! As long as you are consistent with your training and nutrition the results will come.
If you are consistent and follow an exercise regime like this one, you will lose weight and see a difference in as little as three weeks. Stay dedicated and motivated and the results will come.
