Fine tuning tips

 We know that in order to maximize caloric expenditure, we need to maximize the amount of oxygen we are consuming.  We utilize more oxygen when we involve more muscle mass.  So any activities that involve more muscle mass will make burning calories and body fat easier.  So if your goal is to maximize fat loss, consider these points:
· At least one or two of your primary aerobic activities should involve activities during which you stand to perform them like running, power walking, fitness classes, cross-country skiing or stair-climbing.  If your muscles have to support you in an upright position, they must expend more energy to do so in comparison to a seated, body-weight supported position.
