Are You Use it In the Right Way?

When you are at gym, you work so hard to burn fat on your body. The question is are you using it in right way? Here some fact that you must read
Rowing Machine
YOUR FORM
The mistake: Your hands bump your knees, and “everything gets jumbled,” says Mike Irwin, University of Pennsylvania lightweight varsity crew coach.
The fix: Think of the stroke as a dance, counting 1-2-3 and 3-2-1. On 1, push with your legs; on 2, “swing up” your body by leaning back; on 3, draw your arms to the bottom of your rib cage, spinning the flywheel. Then reverse it: 3, extend your arms; 2, swing your body forward from the hips; 1, bring your legs up after the handle passes your knees. “It should be a fluid motion when you tie it all together,”says Irwin.
YOUR WORKOUT
The mistake: A long, steady slog. “You probably won’t be able to maintain your power and form for the entire workout,” Irwin says.
The fix: With medium resistance, do four to six 10-minute sets of rowing with 2 to 3 minutes of rest in between. “Your heart rate won’t come all the way down, but you’ll be able to regroup and start fresh,” says Irwin.

Treadmill
YOUR FORM
The mistake: Too much up and down and not enough levelheadedness, says Zack Barksdale, an exercise physiologist at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. You’ll tire out your joints–and yourself–too soon.
The fix: Improve flexibility to smooth out your stride. Try leg swings–hold the handlebar, stand on one leg, and swing the other back and forth, keeping your upper body still. “It will loosen and warm you up, making your legs more pliable,” says Barksdale.
YOUR WORKOUT
The mistake: Too many long, steady, flat runs.
The fix: Run shorter and harder, mixing speeds and inclines. You’ll fatigue your muscles and your energy source more quickly, making this a more efficient fat burning exercise that will keep working throughout the day. Start with a 2 percent incline, and over several sessions work up to 10 percent. (Just walk at this point.) The more intense the workout, the shorter it can be.
