Some of the best exercises for fat loss are:
1) aerobics- aerobics has been around since exercising became hip in the 70s because it’s a great cardio workout
2) Swimming- it will really challenge you, and its good for low impact needs due to injuries
3) Spinning- the rise and fall of the energy level in this program is a great calorie burner
4) Walking- the pace needs to be brisk, and if you can integrate hills, it will improve intensity
5) Kickboxing- my recent experience with a Kempo DVD has reinforced what a great calorie burner this exercise is.
The important qualities to a fat burning exercise are the intensity (this is easier to measure with a heart rate monitor), duration (how long you exercise), and how often you are participating. Find an exercise you enjoy and those qualities will fall into place.
