How to do an effective fat burning workout if we are just starting out? A lot of people tell me they have NO results despite hours on the treadmill in the gym or at home. What is not working? To not all of them I can answer as I would like, that is: “to burn fat you need to have muscles!” , because many women don’t want to go to the gym to make machines or weight room.

Rightly or wrongly, it is right to respect the needs of each of us, and think about an easy and feasible fat burning workout for everyone. An idea could be to differentiate the type of training according to our abilities.
Fat burning workout A for those who are very sedentary, B for those who have already tried cardio for some time but would like better results.

BURNING FAT WORKOUT A
Having said that in this article we will only deal with cardio, let’s see how to train for fat burning if you are just starting out. In this case (but also for those who do cardio after particularly intense workouts) the steady state method associated with the right time to eat (timing) could be valid.

Steady state is cardio work (which can be done on an elliptical, on a cycliette, on the treadmill) in which the maximum heart rate is on average 70%: so we work moderately, but for a long time. This type of training is continuous. For an hour, the same trend, improving the duration from day to day, up to an hour and a half of training. An example on the treadmill would be speed 5.6 and incline 2. Having a heart rate monitor can be very useful.

This type of training has the advantage of being suitable for everyone: those who love running can do it with the elliptical, but basically on the treadmill it has zero contraindications. To understand how to eat for more results, we can make the carbohydrate meal after training, preferring protein and fat first. In this way we would have the same results as training on an empty stomach.

For example, if we train in the morning, breakfast with a yogurt and a handful of almonds, then training, lunch with a first course and fruit, protein dinner with fat. If we train in the evening or in the afternoon: protein and fat breakfast and lunch (and vegetables, but no fruit, bread and pasta or rice), training and carbohydrates at dinner.
Instead, let’s see what those who are already using cardio can do without results, are already trained and have little time.
