Strategies To Burn Fat And Keep It Off

Developing your boxing skills at Revolution Training in Stamford, CT will help you burn fat and keep it off. Pushing hard in any physical sport and eating healthy are the keys to never worrying about weight gain again. You’ll do workouts like HIIT boxing that torch fat and build muscle. The more muscle you have, the easier it is to shed even more fat. That’s because muscle tissue requires more calories than fat tissue does, so you’ll be boosting your metabolism as you change your body composition.

Increasing your physical activity helps with fat loss.

That’s especially true when you alternate your workout intensity. The Focus HIIT workout does exactly that. It pushes you to the limit with high-intensity exercise and shorter recovery periods. It burns the maximum calories and fat. All our sessions, from Boxing Bootcamp to the Workout of the Day, push you hard. Whether you’re a man or woman, boxing is the ultimate HIIT workout to build muscle and burn fat. Your speed and intensity constantly change throughout each session.

Don’t diet, eat healthy.

If you want to lose fat, focus on a healthy diet and avoid a starvation diet. When you eat too few calories, your body burns both fat and muscle tissue unless you focus on strength training to rebuild that muscle. If you starve yourself too long, your metabolism slows. It’s a survival technique that saves valuable calories to keep the heart, brain, and other vital organs functioning. Eat quality protein and avoid processed foods. Steer clear of sugar that can spike your blood sugar and increase the potential for insulin resistance. Insulin resistance can increase your waistline with visceral fat, the most difficult type to lose.

Get adequate sleep.

Lack of sleep increases ghrelin, the hormone that makes you hungry. It diminishes leptin production, the hormone that makes you feel full. You’ll be hungrier and tempted to eat more calories than you need. You’ll also be tired, so exercising to your maximum potential is more difficult. That causes a reduction of calorie-burning intensity. When you sleep, your body heals, including your muscles. It’s a time for recovery and muscle-building.

• Exercise increases the release of the hormone irisin. It improves blood sugar regulation, is anti-aging, and helps burn fat. It converts white fat to brown fat that burns 20% more calories.
• Consider intermittent fasting using an 8:16 schedule. You eat in eight hours and fast the other sixteen. You don’t limit your food, just the time when you eat it. In this case, it might be between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
• Vitamin D is necessary for weight loss. Studies show there’s a link between obesity and vitamin D deficiency. People with a deficiency have a more difficult time losing weight.
• Skip sugary, alcoholic, and fancy coffee drinks. Soft drinks, frappuccinos, and sugary alcoholic beverages are empty calories that can pack on the pounds and increase your waistline.
