A new half marathon workout that burns fat and builds endurance and speed.

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I have been using a long run workout the last two weeks that I feel is helping me burn more calories on my run, thus losing weight quicker. It is also increasing my endurance and speed at the same time.

I do this workout twice a week. I start out at around a 6 MPH pace on the treadmill and increase the speed by .1 MPH every 15seconds until I reach 10 MPH. Then I drop the speed back down to 6 MPH and start the process over again until I reach the 30 minute mark. Once 30 minutes is reached, I just run the next 30 minutes based on how I feel, but keep it at a comfortable pace.

Burn Fat, Lose Weight – The Secret to Burning Fat Naturally

The easiest and quickest way to burn fat and lose weight is to get your metabolism revved up by eating small protein-rich meals at regular intervals of three to three-and-a-half hours throughout the day. This forces the body to maintain a steady insulin level that prevents excess insulin being released, thus avoiding fat build-up. Instead, your body must use the energy right away, keeping a consistent fat-burning level.

Fat Burning Exercises
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gary_Gresham]Gary Gresham

Fat burning exercises are the slow, aerobic, long duration types of exercise that involve most of the major muscle groups.  Your body will burn a higher percentage of calories from fat with lower intensity cardio exercises.

Fat burning exercises include walking, jogging, running, elliptical exercise trainer workouts, cycling and swimming.  The key factor to keep in mind is the more muscle groups you use, the more fat you’ll burn.

Different type of exercises will burn more sugar rather than burning fat.  Sugar burning exercises involve brief spurts of movement followed by rest which results in more sugar that is used for fuel instead of fat.
