Tips
Walk.
Buy yourself a good pair of walking shoes. Don't skimp on this,
it will make all the difference in the world to your feet. Take care
of your feet. A fast paced walk is the best fat-burning exercise you
could do. Time yourself, and increase your average speed. Learn to
challenge yourself, and find a circuit that includes hills of both a
long & gradual grade, as well as steep grade. Don't be
discouraged if you cannot go 4.5 mph, or do 7 or 10 miles. Work up
to those distances if you want to. If you don't want, find a goal
that will encourage you to fitness.
Forget
the weights and exercise machines

I
use, and am a huge proponent of, body-weight exercising. Body weight
exercising is just what the title says - body weight only. A
simple push up is an example of a body weight exercise. There are
huge benefits to this type of exercising, which we go into in depth
in our Go From Fat To Fit program.

Stretching
Make
sure that you do ample stretching before engaging your workout.
Skipping the stretching portion of your routine will do harm to your
fitness goals, and maybe literally do harm to you. In Adrian's Go
From Fat To Fit program we spend a significant amount of time
stretching. We show you a large variety of stretches that are
designed to hit those places you didn't know you had places. We
want you to have maximum function with your strength and endurance,
so having maximum flexibility will be important to that as a reality.
Why
I'm so big on walking
I
said walking (not running) is the best fat burning exercise there is.
Does that seem odd? There's a physiological reason that is so.
Your body has a built in preservation mechanism that, when your
activity is high (such as when you're running), it doesn't take
long for the brain to receive a signal to preserve fat because it is
going to need the energy it stores at this pace of expenditure. When
you get to an aerobic level of exercise, this signal will be
triggered. Walking allows you to keep a high level of energy
expenditure while staying under the aerobic level and that signal
does not get sent to your brain. Whatever exercises you do, while
burning fat is your main purpose, stay anaerobic and you'll
optimize your ability to meet your goal. Besides, walking is a lot
easier on your feet and knees.
