If you are wanting to burn fat faster and tone up at the same time, weight training is a must.

 

Don't be afraid of bulking up. If you're eating to lose weight, you'll build tone but you'll actually reduce your size, but increase your firmness.

 

One of the best benefits from weight training apart from the proven affect on reducing your fat stores when used in a balanced programme, is that you CAN spot TONE (not spot reduce body fat) any area of your body that you would like to firm and strengthen.

Below is a simple 5 step process for burning fat effectively

1. Have your diet assessed and corrected by a qualified Dietitian
2. Have the most effective exercise programme designed for you by a professional which should include a certain amount of weight training depending on your body type along with aerobic exercise.
3. Decrease overall stress - be happy. No stress hormones please!
4. Ensure you are sleeping well each night.
5. Have your body measured every 2-3 weeks by a professional as seeing the changes is very motivating!
