You will need to do two kinds of exercises to build muscle and burn
fat. The two types of exercises are cardio and lifting weights.Lifting
weights mainly leads to muscle growth and strength gains. Cardio will
also help you build muscle, but it will mainly help you burn fat.There
are two kinds of exercises you can do when weight lifting, compound
and isolation.Compound exercises s work multiple large muscle groups
and this promotes more HGH (human growth hormone) and testosterone
production. HGH helps build muscle and burn fat and testosterone helps
build muscle. Some compound exercises include squats, dead lifts, pull
ups, and bench press.Isolation exercises target the individual
muscles, giving that muscle group a better workout. These include
bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder fly, and etc..You need to do
both forms of exercises to get that "Ripped" look. If you only focus
on compound exercises, you will probably end up bulky with a big ass
and big legs. On the other hand, if you only focus on isolation
exercises, you'll be growing at a much slower rate.The other form of
exercise is aerobic exercise or 'cardio', which includes swimming,
running, biking, etc... This will help you burn fat, but the type that
we will be doing will also promote your body's HGH production and this
helps you build muscle and burn fat. The type of cardio that will help
you achieve this is 'High Intensity Interval Training'.Your muscles
are made up of three types of muscle fibres. These fibres are the:
1.
Slow twitch fibres
2. Fast twitch fibres
3. Super fast twitch
fibresEngaging all of these muscle fibres in your exercise will
promote higher HGH production. This is exactly what High Intensity
Interval Training accomplishes. It is a combination of different
intensities such as power walking, jogging, and sprinting.Here is an
example of how you can do it:1. Warm up with a power walk on the
treadmill. Remember your speed setting because this is the speed you
will be returning to after each interval. Warm up for 5-10 minutes.
2.
Raise the speed to a jog for the next 30 seconds.
3. Raise the speed
to a sprint (as fast as you can) for the next 15 seconds.
4. Return to
the power walk speed for 60 seconds.
5. Steps 2-4 make up an interval.
Repeat the interval 8 times.Whenever you're starting out a new
workout, take it easy and build up on the intensity over time. The
last thing you want is to sustain an injury and have that stop your
workouts.
