Top 5 Ways to Build Muscle to Burn Fat

There are hundreds of new products, pills and routines out there that will claim to be the fastest way to burn body fat fast. Some of these products do work. Some of them will make you feel guilty for buying them in the first place. The rest are just a pile of junk and you know it.

The “SOME” that work only work to the extent of giving you quick results for a short period of time. Did you know that your body can adapt to any routine within 4 to 5 weeks? Why wait that long and get disappointed?

You should already be aware of the fact that muscle burns fat. The more muscle you gain, the leaner you get quickly. So why not get the double advantage of building muscle by picking exercises that build lean muscle, and also create the largest calorie expenditure that burns fat like crazy?

- Pick total body compound movements like Deadlifts, Squats, Weighted Pushups, Chinups and Pullups for hard core muscle building and fat burning. No isolated movements would give you the same results at such a speed.

- Focus on achieving a new personal record in every workout. Try to increase weight, get more reps or sets in the same time or LESS time in every workout. This increases intensity and muscular shock.

- Eat to build lean muscle not fatty jiggle. Focus on feeding your body with low GI carbs, fruits and green fibrous vegetables to build the lean, ripped body you need. Stay away from junk food.

- Get rest. This might come as a shocked to you but rest is necessary to build muscle. You don’t build muscle during the workout. It happens during the time you give you rest for your muscles to complete repairs. Take a week off every 8 to 10 weeks for optimum results.

- Focus on free weights and bodyweight exercises. Never use a machine unless it is for something like a kneeling cable crunch which is a great exercise for the abs.

These 5 tips will get you way ahead of the game to build more muscle and burn fat fast, but if you interested, visit my site: Heath and Fitness Site for more tips and resources.
