How to Burn Fat
Are you a golfer looking to drop a few pounds while
getting in the best shape for golf? The principles of fat loss for golf
begin with three key elements: fat burning nutrition, interval training
and social support and accountability.
Fat Burning Nutrition
Fat burning nutrition begins with making good food
choices to support your fat loss goals. While there are many strategies
to cutting calories, the most basic areas to monitor are liquid calories
including the beloved Starbuck’s drive by’s as well as sodas and juice
drinks. Sugar calories add up
fast and make you hungry faster. It is also helpful to increase your
fiber intake with fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts. Research has
continually shown that adding just a handful of nuts to daily meals can
help you lose weight. The most significant impact, however, on the size
and depth to your stomach fat is in making a commitment to your intended
eating plan and adhering to it.
Interval training is one of the quickest and easiest
ways to get fit and lean to play better golf. With an interval training
workout, you alternate between periods of hard exercise and easy
exercise. The effort level is determined by you and your current fitness
level. As your fitness level increases so does your effort and ability
level. Cardio interval training begins when you increase your intensity
to a "harder than normal" pace for 30-60 seconds and then bring the
intensity down to a cool-down pace for 1-2 minutes. You'll repeat that
cycle up to 6 times total for a massive fat burning and metabolism
boosting effect. The end result is a real quick workout that takes only
20 minutes. Australian research published in 2006 shows that 20-minute
interval training workouts are more effective for burning belly fat than
40-minute long, slow cardio workouts.
Social Support and Accountability
As an important third component, assign some level of
accountability to yourself or someone else on your behalf. There are
different forms of accountability that work for different people. Some
dieters like to tell a friend or family members for support. Others like
to use a journal to record their exercise and eating behaviors. Some
dieters use a trainer to meet each week. Again, the actual type of
accountability is less important than the fat that you are holding
yourself to your commitment.
