I need help!is it the correct workout for burning fat?

I am in no way an expert. However, ANY exercise is better than none at all. You will NOT get bulky by lifting weights, you will get leaner, tone, and burn fat.

Good luck!

only time to breifly skim your post, however...

Often times, yes, there are lots of concerns from women I know that weight training will make them "bulky" or look like one of the body builder girls. In short, You do not have to worry about that. For a guy, let alone a woman, getting that kind of physique is EXTREMELY difficult. Getting toned is hard enough (not to discourage you, just to allay any concerns you're going to get massive muscles)

In fact, to burn fat effectively you HAVE to put on some muscle. I read that each pound of muscle you add, your BMR increases by approximately another 50 calories or so. So you'd burn an extra 50 calories a day just by existing with that extra pound of muscle. Not sure how accurate that is, but the basic part is true. more pounds of muscle = more calories needed to sustain them. If your diet stays in check, then the extra muscle will help burn off fat reserves. That is the other sad part, like 75% of fat loss is keeping your diet under control (but luckily you have myfitnesspal.com)

You should look at doing some basic moves to add strength and tone to your body, and then move on to some circuits and some high intensity interval training to shread the fat off. I wish I had more time to write here, but I'm sure others can expand (or refute) what I'm saying. Just PLEASE don't believe the common misconception of...

"if you want to burn fat, just do cardio" that's BS and any good trainer will stress the importance of building/maintaining muscle mass for any long term fitness goal.

Also, while there are dangers in it if you don't get the form of the moves down pat, crossfit is an excellent all-around strength/conditioning/fat shreading. I don't go to a crossfit club, but I happily grab their workouts online and use at my gym.

1) It takes testosterone to build big muscles. Unless you have some kind of hormonal imbalance, you don't have enough natural testosterone to "bulk up" in the way that women tend to fear. If you look at the "bulky" female bodybuilders, you'll probably notice that many of them have very masculine facial features. They weren't born that way: it's a tell-tale sign of steroid use and hormone supplementation.

2) It's going to take muscle to burn fat. Period. Without muscle, your metabolism will rapidly plummet and you'll constantly be eating fewer and fewer calories every day without losing any weight. Can you lose weight without building any muscle? Yes. But then you'll be "skinny fat." You'll look flabby at whatever weight you wind up at because in losing weight you'll also be losing what muscle you already have if you're not doing any kind of resistance training in the process.

3) Fat pretty much follows the "first on, last off" rule. If that's where you gained it first, then you can bet that it's the last place it's going to come off. Regardless of what anyone might tell you, it is impossible to "spot reduce." Exercising your thighs isn't going to make the fat come off your thighs any faster than doing any other kind of exercise. It will come off when you have burned enough for your body to use it - no faster and no slower.

4) With regard to the specific program, the real answer is "anything that gets you moving and active." There is no such thing as a "best" program other than "one that you'll stick with and keep doing." So long as you're burning more calories than you're eating, you will lose weight. That being said, the bigger the muscle that you're using to exercise, the more calories you're burning. For example, doing squats is a big calorie burner because it involves using the biggest muscles in your body - your quads and glutes. On the other hand, arm curls or ab crunches are practically useless for burning calories because the only muscles being used are the relatively small biceps or abdominus rectus muscles. The back, chest, and thighs are your biggest muscles. So when you're selecting exercises, try to find those that engage your larger muscles rather than isolating small ones. If you're not familiar with which exercises work which body parts, then I would recommend exrx.net which has a very good kinesiology breakdown of the muscles and which exercises are good at working them.

I dont' see anything about your nutrition plan. Exercise doesn't matter all that much if your nutrition isn't good. Exercise can help augment or "prime" your body for weight loss, but ultimately the nutrition must be there.

QFT. I love this explanation. I don't post here often, but I read and lurk a lot and I wish every person would read this simple explanation of the basics. I know there is more that goes into all of this, but on a basic level this is great information.

"healthy" and "junk" are subjective terms.

how much are you eating vs. how much you're burning?

so how much are you trying to lose?

are you measuring everything you consume?

how many cals are you shooting for?
