These same experts will also tell you that cardio exercises will thwart weight training. Weight training builds muscle by putting the body into an anabolic state, meaning the hormones are at an optimal level to add to muscle tissue and make them grow. Cardio training does the exact opposite by throwing the body into a catabolic state where the hormones released will burn fat and muscle tissue. Hence, they are counterproductive for the serious body builder who doesn't have the desire to build muscle while losing fat.In order to build muscle while losing fat, you will need to implement both weight training and cardio exercises with the right diet. Diet should mirror a muscle building diet with one exception. The build muscle while losing fat diet should be high in proteins and amino acids to build muscle, high in good carbs to assist the proteins and to add energy, and plenty of water for muscle and body hydration. The exception is that the caloric content of the diet should be kept in check while losing fat. Calories can be added later once the fat is gone and you are concentrating on just building muscle.
Weight training should be kept at three times per week. If you want to build muscle while losing fat you should be careful not to keep the body in a constant anabolic state. Warm up before weight training with a cardio exercise like a brisk walk for about 30 minutes. On another three days per week do strictly cardio exercises to allow the body to burn the fat. Your off day cardio workout should last at least 45 minutes, but no more than an hour and a half. On the seventh day, rest and let your body do its thing.Once the fat is gone, then you can concentrate on some hard body building. Until then, combining cardio and weight training, along with the proper diet, is the best way to build muscle while losing fat.Is it possible to burn fat and build muscle at the same time? Some say no, it is not possible because you need the fat in order to feed the muscle.
