15. What about body fat percentage? Acceptable body fat percentage for women is 25% to 31% and for men, 18% to 25%. Abdominal fat should also be decreased as much as possible because high abdominal fat has been shown to be a precurser to diseases like cancer.
16. Is there a fat loss target heart rate? Research and my experience proves that high intensity interval cardio training will give you more calorie burn during and after your workout. You will also burn more fat. This will usually be a heart rate of about 80% to 85% of your maximum training heart rate. Your maximum training heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. So, if you are 30 years old, your maximum training heart rate would be 190 (220-30).
17. How do I break thru my fat loss plateau? There are several ways to break thru your fat loss and weight loss plateau. Change up your weight training routine about every 2-3 weeks (or weekly if you like) to keep your body from adapting to your routine. You might need to cut sugars and processed foods from your diet. Or, you might need to increase the intensity of your cardio workout.
18. What does basal metabolic rate have to do with fat loss? Find out your basal metabolic rate--BMR (amount of calories you would burn if you did nothing all day). You will use this rate to set the amount of calories you need each day to maintain a caloric deficit (burn more calories than you consume). You also need your BMR so you don't eat too little and encourage your body to store fat!
19. How do I speed up my metabolism for fat loss? Regular weight lifting (including bodyweight exercises) and cardio exercise will give you a higher metabolic rate. Building muscle speeds up metabolism because the body has to work harder to maintain muscle. Specifically, a combination of circuit weight training and high intensity interval cardio will get your metabolism "revved up."
20. What about metabolism slowing down with age? In general, your metabolism slows down at a rate of 5% per decade after age 40 (source: WebMD.com). The easiest way to keep a healthy metabolic rate for life is to engage in consistent weight training and interval cardio. This way, you will maintain important muscle mass and burn fat. About 35 to 50 daily calories are burned by one pound of muscle!
Some factors that affect metabolism include age, heredity, gender and lean muscle mass. Men tend to have faster metabolisms than women. Thyroid problems may also cause your metabolism to slow down.
