If you’ve been around the fat loss block for some time, then I’m sure you’ve heard of the all important “fat burning zone.” In case you’re not familiar with this term, it is the heart rate you’re supposed to achieve while performing cardio if you want to stand any chance of losing body fat with your workouts. What I’m going to reveal to you is going to blow this myth right of the water. I’ll be showing you that by targeting your heart rate to be in this so-called fat burning zone is actually the opposite of what you should be focusing on in your workouts if you truly want to lose ugly belly fat.

The Front Squat:

The squat is tops (along with deadlifts) as one of the most effective overall exercises for stimulating body composition changes (muscle gain and fat loss). That’s because exercises like squats and deadlifts use more muscle groups under a heavy load than almost any other weight bearing exercises known to man.

If you’re bored with your current fat loss routine, I’m going to show you how EPOC (postexercise oxygen consumption) can kick start a new epoque of fat loss for you.

I can hear you asking, “So Egan, what on earth is EPOC?”

The answer, my nubile friend is that EPOC deals with the energy consumed by your body during the periods after your workout. In case you didn’t know, it takes time for your body to reach homeostasis after a workout.
