When it comes right down to it, the best way to burn fat is to reduce the number of calories you consume and increase your level of physical activity. If you provide less quick energy for your body in the first place, fat becomes a more likely source of fuel. This provides fat burning around the clock, not just during your workout.
You can only reduce your caloric intake so much without becoming ill, so exercise becomes important to weight loss. The more calories you burn during your workout, the more weight you will lose. So, it stands to reason that the highest calorie burning exercises will burn the most fat. If that’s your goal, you should consider intense workouts such as cross-country skiing, biking, running, jumping rope, and boxing. If none of these exercises is your cup of tea, however, they are certainly not the right fat-burning exercises for you. If you don’t like the exercise enough to do it frequently, it won’t burn more calories for you.
The trick to burning the most fat possible is to find the highest calorie-burning workout you enjoy and stick to it regularly. If you get bored easily, it makes sense to switch between exercises or to try interval training. Whatever keeps you consistently physically active for the most time will burn the most fat for you.
