Burning Fat With A Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper

If you are asking the question: "How can I lose fat?" burning some of it off with a Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper is a very good idea. Moderate exercise is always a good idea when you are trying to lose weight as it speeds up the process.

The Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper is a good idea as it does not take up too much space and can be folded and stored very easily. This is ideal if you do not have a lot of space.

So, how long should you spend on a stepper each day to help you get rid of those extra pounds? Well, to tell the truth, even ten minutes will help. As long as you increase you heartbeat you will be burning fat. Remember the old method of calories in and calories out will always apply.

To burn fat you do not have to become a marathon runner, every bit help. For the maximum benefit, though, it is good to exercise at 60% of your maximum heart beat for at least 30 minutes.

1. How to work out 60% of your maximum heart rate:

First you have to start with 220 minus your age. To work out your optimal heart rate, for fat burning, take 60% of that and you have your maximum heart rate for burning t. As an example if you were 42 years old, the formula would look like this, 220-42= 178x60%= 107. Divide that by 6 and you have a 10 second count if you are checking your heart rate manually. All you have to do now is count the amount of beats for ten seconds and you know if you are exercising at the correct heart rate.

For the purposes of burning fat, working harder as that will be counter productive. Exercising at this intensity has to be kept up at least for 30 minutes, 40 would be better. If you have other fitness goals, you have to adjust for those, of course.

So, start getting your beach body by working out with your Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper. What is so good about it is that you can even watch TV while you are doing it. Some ideal multi tasking for you!

Remember to have fun. Do not kill yourself. Build up to the desired intensity and duration until you are fit enough to do it without too much stress. Another important point, never start on a training program before getting your doctors go ahead.
