Great Fat Burning Exercises

Exercise is the best way to remain fit and lean. Fat burning exercises help melt away all the excess fat that accumulates in your body. These fat burning exercises sculpt your body, and make you look and feel much better. What's more, they make you look great! So whether you are wearing your favorite slim fit jeans, an ultra short skirt, or that new bikini, you will have legs that make heads turn. When you choose an exercise plan, it is a good idea to choose it in such a way that you exercise every part of your body. You should create this exercise regimen in consultation with your doctor and trainer. It is not essential to exercise each body part every day. You could exercise some parts on one day and the others the next day.

The 5 Best Fat Burning Exercises:

Exercise for Arms:

The best way would be to tone the arms while at the same time losing weight with basic aerobic exercise. The best exercise for toning the arms are single-joint movements. Examples are curls and triceps kick-backs. These exercises place direct stress on the bicep and trice muscles of the arm causing them to firm up much more quickly. In fact the triceps muscle at the back of the arm make up two-thirds of arm size so it would probably be best to work more at toning the triceps muscle of the arm.

Exercise for Legs:

One part of the body which usually resists fat loss is the legs. Here are a few general thigh exercises that will get you super toned legs:
• Aerobics
• Brisk walking
• Skipping
• Swimming
• Working a cycle exerciser

Exercise for Abs:

Abs crunches are probably the most popular abdominal exercise. However, there's many ways you can crunch these muscles, some of which burn fatter than others. You can start simply with sit-ups and work your way toward abs crunches on a weight machine or on top of a Swiss ball. Augment your Swiss ball abs crunches by holding a medicine ball or other hand weight while you crunch.

Exercise for Back:

You can get rid of back fat rolls by doing some back extensions. Using a back extension station, you can position your legs beneath the leg roller pads and stretch out on the bench, stomach down. Raise your upper body and lower it down again using your lower muscles instead of your arms and shoulders. This will challenge the muscles you don't often use.

Exercise for Your Whole Body:

One of the best ways to burn fat is cardio workouts on a treadmill or elliptical trainer. Cardio will work many parts of your body all at once and help you burn hundreds of calories at a time.
