Building up your muscles will cause you to burn fat more efficiently. Good, strong muscles will not only make you feel better, but your metabolism will be increased and you will burn more calories. To build muscle, high intensity, not long duration exercise is needed. Just walking for hours on a treadmill lacks the intensity necessary for efficient burning of body fat. It's this high intensity that's going to let you get a full, fat-burning workout done in just 12 minutes. See, you'll burn some calories during that 12 minutes, but you'll burn a lot more during the following 24 hours. Muscle burns a lot of calories. Why? Because your body is working away - even when you're sitting - building new muscle fibers and repairing old ones. All of this activity burns a lot of energy. For every pound of muscle that you put on, your body will burn an extra 40-50 calories a day. Consider this: muscle takes up less space than flabby fat because it is more dense. And of course it will look fabulous. A firm, attractive, well-muscled body will look fit and fabulous. To burn fat, you'll need to do your exercises in a short-duration, high intensity workout. This is how you can get fit and fabulous in just 12 minutes. You won't be wasting hours in some low-intensity exercise like treadmill plodding. Set yourself to three day when you will exercise. Whether it's Monday, Wednesday, Friday - or any other combination that fits your calendar - be sure to get in your 3 times a week. After all, it's only 12 minutes a day!. Equipment needs are really minimal and your exercise routines can be done allmost anywhere at all.
