This weeks article is taken from the daily blog of Alwyn Cosgrove.
In my view Alwyn is currently the world's best Fat Loss expert.
His daily web diary is read daily by 40,000 people and can be found at http://alwyncosgrove.blogspot.com/
He has helped me a great deal with my fitness career so far so I hope you find his article useful.
Have you ever had anyone come up to you and tell you that their excess body fat was a problem?Don't buy it.Let me explain -- excess fat is never, ever a problem. Excess fat is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath.In real simple terms - it means that you have consumed and stored more calories than your metabolism is set to use up.It's pretty simple to change too -- just deprive yourself of calories and reset your metabolism.Simple. Maybe not easy.Your metabolism is like a thermostat. If the temperature in the room is 75 degrees. chances are good that the thermostat is set for 75 degrees. Is it possible that a window is open and is cooling the house, so that the temperature drops to 65? Sure. But the thermostat will kick in and pretty soon you'll be back at 75.What if the window is open and it's hot outside? The room temperature will increase but, again, the thermostat will kick in and bring the temperature back to 75.The only way to PERMANENTLY change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat.In the same way, the only way to change your body fat level permanently is to reset your metabolism. You can try anything else you want -- but in the end -- without increasing metabolism all the tools in the world will be useless to you.The cornerstone of your fat loss training?
Activities that burn calories, maintain/promote muscle mass, and elevate metabolism. Metabolic resistance training will definitely provide the most bang-for-your-buck.
