How To Burn Calories

What is a calorie? Most of us are familiar with the concepts of counting calories and cutting calories but aren’t exactly sure what we’re counting and cutting.

Have you ever seen the TRX on The Biggest Loser?. It is one of the hottest new pieces of exercise equipment. Even elite athletes like Drew Brees are using the TRX to burn fat, build muscle, increase flexibility, and improve balance.

Here’s the technical definition of a calorie: “The amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram (1 liter) of water 1 degree Centigrade.”

This doesn’t do a whole lot to help you know how to burn calories does it?

Well, stick with this a little and I think it might help you more than you think.

A calorie is simply a measure of heat energy. When food is burned, it releases a certain amount of heat or energy. The amount released depends on the type of food. The more calories in the food, the more energy that will be released.

This energy in food can be released or it can be stored. It gets stored in specialized cells called adipocytes. There’s another name for these that might interest you. They are called fat cells.

So, excess calories equals excess belly fat equals health problems. There is a very good reason, therefore, to learn how to burn calories. Your ideal waist size not only makes you look better, it helps you avoid many serious health problems.

Back to what is a calorie? Calorie is a word that is used interchangeably with the amount of energy in food and the amount of energy stored in the body as adipose tissue or body fat and glycogen (stored carbohydrate).

Think of body fat as your storage tank for energy. So, when we talk about how to burn calories or how to burn off body fat, we are really talking about releasing calories from this storage tank.

If you are an inactive person the body fat just sits there in the storage tank until you need it. If you are an average 185 pound man with about 18% body fat, you have 33.3 pounds of fat tissue. There are 3500 calories in each pound of body fat. So, you would have 116,550 calories of reserve energy in storage.

The bad news. Our bodies are incredibly efficient fat-storing machines. You probably already could testify to that!

The good news. By understanding calories and how to balance your calorie input and output, you can lose belly fat and achieve your ideal waist size.

As you can imagine, the science of all of this is really very complex. Obviously not many people are successful in learning how to burn calories. If it was that easy we would see more people with flat abs.
