How to Do Lactic Acid Training for Weight Loss

In intensive physical training, the body enters into oxygen debt and lactic acid is produced as the byproduct of the oxygen-less (anaerobic) process. This lactate in turns produces growth hormone, which not only promotes muscle growth but also triggers fat loss. If you want a super-effective, but somewhat merciless, method of losing fat then follow these steps to do lactic acid training for weightloss.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Start an interval base. Chances are that you don't do much interval training. To get yourself started, pick a few simple exercises like situps and pushups. Combine the exercise and a stretch of fast running (400 meters is a good starting point) to super-set the exercises. That is, go from exercise to exercise without taking breaks in between. Then take a short break and begin the circuit again.
2. Move to weights. To really get lactic acid and growth hormone pumping in your body you need to start doing intervals with weights. Pick a circuit that uses big muscle groups. A circuit of squats, deadlifts, chinups and a sprinting run is an excellent way to start. As a rule, minimize rest time throughout the entire process.
3. Pair sets. To take your lactic acid training up a notch, start pair sets of different exercises back-to-back to increase intensity. For example, take a large muscle group, such as the back. Pick three different back exercises, like chinups, lat pulldowns and upright rows. Move rapidly from one set of each exercise to the next, only taking a break at the end of the third exercise. Then continue on to the next major muscle group.
4. Eat correctly afterwards. The intensity of lactic acid training requires that you eat extremely well after the training, especially if you want to promote weightloss. Immediately after a workout, get a good deal of protein in order to help muscle growth. Also, start to eat lots of greens and drink water to give yourself the natural vitamins and minerals that you need.
