How Many Calories Will I Need to Burn to Lose Belly Fat and Tone My Body?



If you rely on traditional monotonous cardio for burning fat, you probably spend at least 20 to 30 minutes on a piece of equipment trying to burn a specific amount of calories.

Does it work for you?

Will burning 500 calories each day result in 1 pound lost each week you exercise?

If you asked science then yes it would since 7 days mulitplied by 500 calories equals 3500 calories which is the magic number to lose 1 pound. I'm guessing if that really worked out then you would have stopped reading at the beginning.

Several years ago I wrote for a men's fitness magazine about the myths of fat loss and exposing the truth.

Here's an example of a myth:To lose belly fat I need to workout till I burn at least 500 calories each session.

Here's the truth: One of the single worst inventions in the fitness realm ever made was and is the calorie counter on your everyday treadmill's and cardio machines just like I covered in a previous article.

Because of this "invention", countless men and women now rely and obsess over the amount of calories burned each workout. More than llikely at one point and time this was you, staring at the little screen waiting for the calorie total to move up. Not knowing that when your finished with your cardio session one fountain soda drink or mochacino will put you at square 1 or worse.

Mainstream fashion and fitness magazines want you to believe that you need to lose a certain amount of calories each workout to lose belly fat and get the look you are striving for.

There are too many problems to count about this way of thinking and training. Like I said before in a previous article the calorie counters are typically off 20% and sometimes up to 40% off on the actual calories your burning and not for the better. A story on a major network news channel exposed cardio machines stating that they overestimate calorie burning by up to 25%.

The second problem is relying on slow to moderate cardio for fast or major fat burning. It is basically useless and will take a lot of time achieving it. Men that used strictly cardio actually reduced their metabolism up to 50% in a British study. You pretty much are undoing the calorie burning by relying only on cardio for fat burning. On the flip side, men in the same study had no reduction in metabolic rate when only using strength training.

So what is the answer to burning calories and belly fat in a quicker, more effective manner? The answer is to train with strength and interval workout methods to burn more fat in a shorter time with explosive fast movements.

Your metabolism will spike even after you are done with your interval training continuing to burn fat and calories long after your actual workout is done. This is referred to as the afterburn effect. What is interval training? Try sprinting or biking at an intense pace for 30 seconds and then rest for 90 seconds pedaling slowly, that would be 1 set and continue on to finish 6 sets or as many as you can at your current skill level.

The intervals turn your muscles on making them go crazy and burn more calories trying to get them back to normal. The end result produces more fat loss and calories burning after your exercises trying to regulate your body back to its initial state working extra hard.

It is good to count calories to see what you have ate that day and make a journal or food diary, but don't worry about the machines and calorie burning counting. Watch what your feeding your body, the wrong slip up and your cardio workout with be wasted, but if you interval training like the programs we show you then your going to have that extra leeway.

Train and watch your nutrition, best 2 things anyone will share with you:) Happy fitness
