The Best Fat Burning Exercises for Men

We all know our bodies started out as dynamic calorie-burning machines in our early years, even without strenuous fat burning exercise.
Somewhere along the way, they seem to have forgotten how to be that way any more.

In fact, we may actually notice that our bodies have progressively acquired the contrary habit of "not burning unwanted calories". Of actually possessively holding on to fat. The reason for that is in a paradox.

The pace of life is faster nowadays, and from that we all make the cardinal mistake of deducing that a "busy life" is an "active life". We assume that our tiredness is from over-exertion, while it may even be from disillusionment.

It's again this same stress that actually makes the body cultivate the habit of holding on to its fat for dear life. (Fat is nothing but excess energy fuel solidified and stored for future use, anticipating future starvation!)

What the body has learnt how to do very well, is to save fat feverishly for the "rainy day", even add on more and more ...- because from everything it interacts with around it, it anticipates a lot of present and future stress!

Fat burning is essential to every health and fitness program. Excess stored body fat has significant implications to health and obesity is now the leading cause of death in the United states.

At any given time, we store only about 1500 kilo calories of energy as glycogen, but between 50,000 and 60,000 kilo calories as stored body fat. Aerobic exercise done at the correct intensity is a great fat burning workout. Strength training to build muscle will also burn fat and increase your body's ability to store glycogen.
