Improve Your Looks

So you want to improve your looks? I don't know exactly what you want to do but I can give you some insight into burning fat, building muscle and developing a body you would want to take to the beach.

Let's take a look at the fundamental situation, a pound of fat takes 3,500 calories of energy to burn. This is an awful lot when you consider that the average person only burns about 2,000 in an average day. Now, when you consider that you can run a few miles or even spend an entire hour on the Stairmaster and only burn about 500 calories you see why most people fail to lose weight.

That is why you need to rev up your body's fat burning abilities by using a kettlebell to do high intensity interval training.

If you're not familiar with a kettlebell it is a piece of equipment from Russia that looks like a cannonball but it has a handle attached to it. Because of this it is possible to swing it and there are actually hundreds if not thousands of exercises you can do. Now, swinging a weight doesn't sound like it would do too much. But, you'd be amazed. Because you can swing it there is a cardiovascular element that allows you to burn up to 20 calories a minute and lose as much as 1% of body fat a week.

Now if you do high intensity interval training which is doing an exercise, resting briefly and then doing another exercise this will increase your fat burning ability even more.

But, that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you'd like to find out more click here http://www.absnotflab.info You can also read plenty of other fitness articles at http://absnotflab.blogspot.com/
