You have set your fitness goals and now need to decide which exercises you want to add to your fitness routine to help you burn away that unwanted fat. The best way is to add a combination of both strength training and cardiovascular.

Strength training is the most beneficial methods of fat loss. By building muscle, you are in turn increasing your metabolism and helping your body to burn even more calories. Also with strength training, your body begins to burn a large number of calories even after you have finished training.

With strength training you have many options. For beginners or someone who doesn't have access to a gym or equipment, bodyweight exercises are a great option for fat loss. Another option is using the push/pull split. This is a great way to get in a total body workout that allows you to perform more exercises per workout and get more recovery time.

I do both strength training and intervals, even though I despise the cardio, I know its good for me. Keeping the cardio quick and effective is the way that I can get get through it. I also do circuits instead of machines, which really tend to kick my butt!
Everyone responds differently to training when trying to lose fat.  Strength training done in an interval format is one of the best ways to lose weight.
