Fitness Guru: What Fitness Routine Is Right for You?

Those who want to lose weight and burn fat face a big question: which workout is the best at burning fat? Here's one answer from The Kitsap Sun:

Deciding to exercise is one thing; knowing what type of exercise to do is another. Should you walk, run, do weights, take a yoga class?

With the holidays behind and a New Year ahead, this is the time of year that many exercisers are working out to lose weight. And the best workout toward that end can be summed up in two words: fat burning!

Stretching and strength work should be done as well, but the bulk of your workout week should be spent on cardiovascular activities. Here are three different workouts that fall into the "I want to lose weight and tone up" category.

One: Walking Briskly

Walking is an excellent form of aerobic activity. It's also ideal for beginning exercisers because it's something everyone can already do.

Five to six days each week warm-up, stretch and walk briskly for 30 minutes. If 30 minutes seem too difficult, walk for shorter durations and increase your workout time as your level of fitness progresses.
