You Can't Lose Fat Overnight

Many times I hear people ask about losing fat overnight or how long it will take to start losing weight. The answer is pretty straight forward and common sense, really. You didn't put it on overnight and you can't take it off overnight.

But... some exercise methods are more effective than others, so if you are in a hurry I'll give you the proper information. If you are looking for accelerated fat loss than interval strength training is your best bet.

You would do exercises that use multiple muscles, such as presses (pushups) and pulls (chinups), and lower body exercises such as squats and lunges.

By combining these exercises in the same workout with little rest in between, you can boost your metabolism and burn more calories after you are done exercising.

Using several muscles in an exercise done with adequate intensity, will burn far more calories than doing isolation exercises like biceps curls, triceps kickbacks, leg extensions, etc.

I remember one of my clients asking me on the start of our third week of training, when would she start seeing results. Trying not to laugh, I told her in a few more weeks she should start noticing a difference. She had been a college student for the last 4 years and not exercised the entire time.

In that kind of situation, results don't happen overnight and also require a change in eating for optimal results. Just because celebrity X gets a personal trainer for a movie role and gets in fantastic shape, everyone thinks having a personal trainer is all they have to do.

For one, most "out of shape" celebrities are still in much better shape than the average person.
They usually have great genetics also.

There's no substitute for hard work. Whether at the gym or at home, intense workouts are needed to lose fat. If you haven't exercised consistently for a while, you will have to ease in to it, gradually increasing your intensity as your body adapts.

If you have been doing cardio or other workouts and not seeing the desired results, interval training may be the answer you are looking for. Interval strength training combined with interval cardio routines will get the best results.

When you first start working out, you will see rapid strength gains as you are able to lift more weight. After a while, these strength gains start to slow down.

Then you would decrease the amount of rest in between sets to give your body a new stimulus. This is where you will also see optimal fat loss.

This type of program can be done with bodyweight exercises and dumbbells, making for a simple, but effective home fat loss workout - the ideal workout for busy people. Craig Ballantyne's patented Turbulence Training for Fat Loss would be an excellent program, featuring workouts for different levels of exercisers, as well as a top nutrition program.
