Spinning to lose weight

What we all seek when we talk about weight loss is to lose weight. And surely what we really want is to lose fat. To find out if we really are losing fat or not, we only can guide us with our weight.

Spinning is an aerobic exercise, using the legs have the larger and stronger muscles of the body, this energy-consuming is what makes you lose fat. Because fat is stored energy on the body.

Any physical activity or the maintenance of life needs energy. These are calories that feed the muscles and the whole body energy reserves as fat and others in the form of glycogen.

The body first uses other energy reserves such as ATP or glycogen, when it ends (in a few seconds the ATP and glycogen in about 30 ') is when it starts to use the accumulated fat. These fats may be in the blood.

It is important to maintain the level of exercise more than thirty or forty minutes, to give the body time to deplete the energy reserves are not as fat. Some experts recommend warming after about ten or fifteen minutes, making the series a few minutes for another ten minutes, to burn all the glycogen accumulated in the legs and the body only twenty minutes of starting the class, begins to burn fat.

We are advised three or four days a week with each session lasting for at least forty minutes. Do not forget to warm up ten minutes before, this will help the muscle glycogen is up a little earlier and fat consumption was therefore initiated a little earlier.

Make a trip to home after training to help you keep in fit and that the body continues to consume more fat over time.

If we lose physical activity is not essential but more importantly to have a slightly lower intake of calories to burn.
