What Are The Most Effective Fat Burning Exercises?

The two main types of exercise are: aerobic, and anaerobic:

Aerobic exercise is a low-intensity, low-pulse-rate endurance type of exercise. The aerobic system runs at a turtle's pace - slow to moderate. The heart rate, on average, is between 127 and 130 beats per minute (bpm). Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, mild treadmill, biking, light jogging, light swimming, light cross-country skiing and other activities where the required heart rate is maintained.

Anaerobic exercise is a higher-intensity, higher pulse rate resistance type of exercising. The anaerobic energy system kicks in at a much higher pulse rate, around 145 beats per minute or more. It can even get activated with a slow pulse rate if the intensity is high enough. Some examples of intense exercises that use the anaerobic energy system include running, fast jogging, fast treadmill, soccer, hockey, swing dancing, weight training, sprinting and boxing. It can also include activities such as bike riding and swimming, if the activity is done intensely to the point where a higher heart rate is achieved.

Whether you use aerobic and/or anaerobic, and to what extent, depends on which of the four basic body types you fall into. The four body types are Adrenal, Thyroid, Liver, and Ovary.

If you are an Adrenal body type, the most effective fat burning exercises are aerobic exercises, because the adrenals will have been overworked already. High intensity exercise will make things worse for the adrenals. Over-stimulating the adrenals glands can trigger the stress hormone cortisol, and cortisol can make you fat. The body's ability to be rejuvenated and repaired will be hampered by intense exercise for the Adrenal body types. It is even possible that exercise can cause them to gain weight.

A combination of both aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise is appropriate for the Ovary body types which works best on their lower body and cellulte fat. Anaerobic exercises are the most effective fat buring exercises for both the Liver body types and Thyroid body types. Both aerobic and anaerobic exercise can be an effective fat burning exercise for athletes and young people with a high metabolism regardless of their specific body type.

So, in a nutshell, for adrenal body types the most effective fat burning exercises are aerobic exercises, for the liver and thyroid body types the most effective fat burning exercises are anaerobic exercises, while the ovary body types respond well to both aerobic and anaerobic exercises.
