What is a good weight lifting routine to lose fat?

People have said to me that doing weights can burn fat just as much or better than other forms or exercise. What is a good routine specifically for losing fat?

  1. Lets not think about the weight lifting routine to use fat as a fuel source. I would expect by now you are training smart, and often. Think about not digging your grave with your teeth! Stop eating processed foods, white foods, and anything that did not have a mother. GET IT? I use a principle I learned from a great friend of mine Gunnar Peterson. Before every workout perform 10 minutes of cardio, mabey five walking forward 6-8% grade (incline). remember this is not a marathon, just a warm-up. Then the last five minutes flip around and walk backwards. SLOW IT DOWN 2.2- 2.5 this is the best v.m.o. enhancer this side of the equator. (tear drop muscle) After the workout do the 6,5,4 principle twice. Example get on the ellipticle for 6 minutes as fast as you can as hard as you can. If you cant say your enitire name and address with phone number slow it down! Then after 6, take it to the treadmill for 5 minutes, then jump rope or get on the spin bike for 4 minutes. Then repeat the cycle. This type of cross training is unaccostom stimulus and your body will react by utilizing fat a fuel substrate. Never, never expect different results by doingthe same thing over, and over. SHOCK IT!

  2. Dave Parise is right on using high intensity cardio to burn fat..but lets not forget that your weight training will lead to a higher e.p.o.c. ( more calories burned in rest and recovery ). so for that do full body circut training. best health!
