Often times finding a better fat loss method means going against what seems like common sense or common knowledge. After all, you just want whatever works. So what does it mean to embrace inefficient exercise to burn more fat and most importantly does it work?
The more effort your body has to put into doing an exercise, the more fat your body actually burns. Because of this, if you are looking to burn fat you actually want to find exercises that you are terrible at doing and then as you improve you switch to something else. This keeps your body constantly burning fat, and although different than what you would do to become athletically proficient this is something that works for fat burning.
This is the reason that many new cardio exercises seem to work so well for the first couple weeks and then you always plateau or have to do twice as much for half of the previous results. This is great for getting healthy and being athletic, but having your body adjusts makes it harder to burn fat. This is how you can see people with a beer belly who can still run 3 to 5 miles at a time.
Better Fat Loss Methods: Push Ups & Kettlebell Swings
This inefficiency helps to explain why kettle bells are so effective. This is a full body movement that takes a time of energy and is not especially efficient for moving that weight. You can constantly add more swings or more weight and because of the type of movement it is extremely hard to become very efficient at the swings.
If you really want to bump up the fat loss ad push-ups to your kettle bell swings and then add in some goblet squats. Doing that in combination is extremely powerful and if you just can’t to kettlebell swings do goblet squats and push-ups. The fat will just melt off.
