Hundreds of products come out every single day claiming to help you burn fat and build muscle in minutes, days or weeks. If you are intelligent enough, you should know these stuff don’t work. You either end up using that product and screwing yourself up, or you listen to others who bought the product and screwed themselves up.

Of course there are some that DO work, but they are short cuts that don’t give permanent results. Most of the products come up with a single routine to follow forever. Your body adapts to any routine within 4 weeks. Don’t you wonder why you suddenly get stuck when trying to burn fat and build muscle?

Did you know that muscle burns a lot of fat just to survive in your body? If you build more muscle, your body will use the fat as energy and everything else to help sustain the muscle and increase muscle growth. So why focus on cardio and aerobics when you can focus on building muscle that will automatically help burn the fat?

- Got for total body exercises that target major muscle groups like Chinups, Squats and Deadlifts. These exercises work the major muscle groups to their greatest potential, and also utilize the smaller muscle fibers in the process. This is a great way to burn fat while building muscle.

- If you want real muscle growth, you need to work hard in every workout. Go to your max. Compete against yourself in your previous workout. If you did 8 reps Bench Press with 150 lbs last week, go for 9 or 10 reps with the same weight in your next workout. Or increase your weight and train to failure. Keep progressing in every workout.

- If you want to BURN FAT and build muscle, then you can’t just keep eating everything at sight. Building muscle doesn’t give you permission to go dirty on food. You need to eat clean. Stick to organic food, whole grain carbs and lean protein and you are good to go.

- Get rest. This might come as a shocked to you but rest is necessary to build muscle. You don’t build muscle during the workout. It happens during the time you give you rest for your muscles to complete repairs. Take a week off every 8 to 10 weeks for optimum results.

- Stick to bodyweight exercises and free weights. They are 1000 times better than machines. Never use a machine unless it is for something like a kneeling cable crunch which is a great exercise for the abs.

If you want to burn fat and build muscle fast, these tips will help out a great deal, but for more information and advise to get optimal results, read more articles on this fitness blog! You’ll learn a great deal!
