Best Way to Lose Extra Pounds

The best way you could lose weight is to exercise in order to increase you body mass. The more body mass you have the faster does your metabolism burn the fat. A higher muscle mass will also regulate insulin levels thus reducing the risk of diabetes and cravings.
When considering exercise, most people decide to use long aerobic exercises. These may yield great results at first but your body will soon be used to them and efficiency will decrease. In order to get further results you should increase the length of your workout but let's face it: for most of us it is impossible to squeeze half an hour of exercise in our schedule, let alone an hour or two.
Exercising in the proper fashion is the only way to achieve results when it comes to losing weight. Intensity, Frequency and Progression are the three factors that influence any workout. By adjusting these elements of your workout (adding more sets, changing the time between sets etc) will provide the results you seek when it comes to burning fat.
Aerobic exercise may provide a challenge for an untrained body but as soon as you get into shape it is hard to squeeze more out of an aerobic training. Weight lifting workouts on the other side are highly customizable and can provide a challenge for both the untrained fat blob and the body builder.
Another advantage of weight lifting is that the standard routine is a lot shorter than the standard aerobic exercise due to intensity. This way you can get your workout even if you are very busy.
Understanding the way the body works will allow you to create a routine that tends to you needs best and will give you the slim body you have always wanted.
