Keys to Optimizing Fat Loss with Exercise


Increase Exercise Volume Increasing the volume is possible either by increasing the lifting load or increasing the number of repetitions. The best strategy is to mix things up and engage in Escalating Density Training and German Volume Training.


Escalating Density Training (EDT)

In short, EDT is the completion of as many repetitions possible in a specific timeframe. Many EDT programs place the timeframe between ten and twenty minutes depending on the specific needs of the student. The goal of EDT is get your muscles to hypertrophy.


German Volume Training (GVT)

GVT is, also, a high-volume exercise program. With GVT, most personal trainers shall instruct students to do 10 sets of 10 reps with 60-second rests between sets. The most successful programs use either antagonist muscles or compound exercises.


Decease Rest Between Sets Decreasing rest between sets leads to the burning of more calories during the exercise and after the exercise through the afterburn effect. If you are sweating between sets, this is a great sign that your body is burning calories.


Choose Full-Body & Compound Exercises You shall expend more energy if you utilize more muscles in your body, thus, choose exercises that work into exercises basic foundational movements such as Push, Pull, Lunge, Hinge, Squat and Carry.


Rest & Recovery A body shall never be able to burn fat in a sustainable manner without rest, adequate nutrition, hydration and an overall healthy lifestyle.
