I had to find out the hard way how to burn body fat, but you won't have to because I'm going to tell you exactly what I do that works.

   Everyone wants to know how to burn body fat so they can lose weight. I'm going to tell you the truth and the truth is it's hard. However, if you are willing to do what it takes you can do it. The good news is that once you build up intensity in your workout it get easier.

   The first thing you have to do is START! So many people put it off, they keep saying tomorrow, next week, next month and sometimes even next Year. Don't do that! Start now, today if possible, the sooner the better

2. 

   The second thing you need to know about how to burn body fat is the best way to do it and that is to do a combination of cardio and weight training. The higher the intensity the more fat you burn. Don't worry you don't have to start out trying to kill yourself, it's a progression. Therefore, start out easy or at a pace you can do and not end up excessively sore or fatigued.

3. 

   Now that you know you need both for best results let's go into a little detail on each one. I always do cardio first this is so that muscles will be warmed up and circulation will be pumping good by the time I get to the weights. If you can do cardio 25-45 minutes, 3-5 days a week that's great!

   Start at a level that challenges you, but doesn't wear you out. You need to save some of your energy for weight training.

4. 

   Okay, you've finished cardio and it's time to switch gears. Weight training requires focus you can't just space out like you do while on cardio machines. Strict form is a must, along with proper breathing and counting reps. I recommend a trainer to show you how to do this if you don't already know. Then you will have amazing results!

   It's best to start with legs they are they are the largest and hardest muscles in the body to work. If you do your upper body first you may not have the strength and energy to work them as they need.

   To start do 1 set of 8-10 reps on each leg machine along with squats and lunges. Once you do legs move on to chest, back, shoulders, arms and abs. Start with 1 set of 8-10 reps on each machine. Before you leave the gym you should have worked all major muscle groups.

   Every week you should add another set and not rest as long between sets this will increase intensity which burns more fat and boosts metabolism as well. This is how to burn body fat and lose weight.

5. 

   Stretching is a very important part of how to burn body fat because the muscles need to be prepared for the work they do. I recommend stretching before, during and after this is a great way to take care of your muscles so that you can prevent injury and avoid excessive muscle soreness. It also gives you a better developed muscle.

   Don't have a no pain no gain type mentality, minimal soreness is the goal. If you are so sore you can barely move or it hurts to move you have over trained.

Tips & Warnings

• Always do warm up and stretch BEFORE weight training

• Rest muscles 24-48 hours after weight training
