Tackling a Weight Loss Plateau With Exercise

Water and weights6) Interval training
Alternatively, you could combine the above with a comfortable pace in a technique called interval training. Research suggests that females achieve the best cardiovascular improvements and body fat reduction through interval training. An simple example of this for running would be:

4 mins at 6-7 our of 10 in terms of self-rated effort
2 mins at 8-9 out of 10 in terms of self-rated effort
4 mins at 6-7 out of 10 in terms of self-rated effort
2 mins at 8-9 out of 10 in terms of self-related effort
4 mins at 6-7 out of 10 in terms of self-rated effort
2 mins at 8-9 out of 10 in terms of self-related effort

In basic terms, you alternate between two different work rates which allows you to achieve calorie burning through intensity AND calorie burning through duration because the lower work rate allows you to partially recover and so train for longer.

Ideally try to incorporate all of the above into your exercise plan and you are absolutely going to be maximising your fat burning potential. It will allow you to get more consistency and continue with your great fat-loss success!
