What if I were to tell you that 99% of all people who are trying to lose weight had the wrong goal in mind?

You would probably laugh… but maybe a little part of you is curious about if the goal isn't weight loss, then what?

The answer lies in these 3 secrets to making fat burning programs work for you. Did you catch it?

1. Maximum Calorie Burn

Weight loss should properly be renamed fat loss and in order to lose the most amount of fat, you need to burn maximum calories. Your calorie intake breaks down like this…

If you eat too many calories, your body will process what it needs to make your body work for the time being and then store the rest of those calories. These extra calories get stored as fat.

If you eat too few calories, your body will need to tap into your energy reserves. These energy reserves mainly come from fat. So burning maximum calories at a safe level is the key to making fat loss work.

I know saying a safe level is vague. Lets put it this way, if you are going to go calorie deficient, never go 300 below your normal intake.

2. Endurance Training

Now we're really getting into some meat that makes fat burning programs work so well. All fat burning programs are designed as endurance training.

Endurance training has a longer time under tension. That means that you muscles are holding a resistance load for a longer period of time. The longer they hold a load, the more they are working and therefore the more calories they are burning.

If you remember from the 5 Weight Training Programs You Can Use To Burn Fat Now article, you should alternate muscle groups when using super sets to burn fat. Now, use that technique along with an endurance training program to burn maximum fat.

3. Cardio Training

If you have been reading my articles or watching my videos, you know that I have a thing for cardio. Usually a bad thing. However, cardio can and does have an important role in fitness.

You need it whether you are building muscle or burning fat.

I suggest you implement a difficult cardio circuit program in your off weight training days. This is mainly for the person who wants to get in incredibly shape, but doesn't plan to run any marathons.

Cardio training when done right is a great fat burning program because it boosts the calorie burn and if you activate some muscle… like weight lifting, it can boost your metabolism.

So if your goal is to lose weight, redefine your purpose…
