Abstract: Present investigation was done in order to "Carry out a Fat Burning Training Program on the Fat Proportion of University Students. To fulfill the purpose of the study, researcher themselves, invites the students of Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University to attend the training program. The total of seventeen students (N-17), age ranging from 23-27 years old from the different departments had joined the program at the first day, But due to lack of motivational techniques used, overload of the training program or may be due to the personnel reasons eight students (N-08) had dropped the training program. As per the Administration feasibility, expert's views and the researcher's own understanding, the Skin Fold Caliper was used in order to know the fat proportions of the students. The data was taken from the different surfaces of the participants, name as given below: Biceps Skin Fold, Triceps Skin Fold, Sub Scapular Skin Fold and Supra iliac Skin Fold. The training protocol under went in side the well equiped gym of the university. The obtained data on the Fat Burning Training Program on the Fat Proportion of University Students were analyzed by applying Descriptive Statistics and Paired t-statistics at level of significance 0.05.Results reveals that significant difference was found in the Pre test and Post Test of the Biceps, further in the pre and post test of Sub Scapula and also a significant difference was found among Pre test and Post test of the Supra-iliac whereas an insignificant difference was found among the pre and post test of Triceps at a level of significance 0.05. I. Introduction Physical Activity affects a lot in preventing and treating the obesity among the students at stages of life, ((Sung, Yu, So, Lam, & Hau, 2005). Resistance exercise programs that include effective leadership can not only educate participants about body mechanics and physiology, but also promote greater body confidence and a chance for obese children to experience success (Faigenbaum, 1997; Faigenbaum, 2000; Faigenbaum, 2001; Stratton et al., 2004). The chance to experience success and an increased perception of confidence among obese youth can also increase their intrinsic motivation to continue with an exercise program (Raustorp et al., 2005). Although physical activity is an essential component of successful weight management programs, obese children may have physical barriers to compliance. Excess fat weight adds to the perception of exertion and increases the intensity of weight-bearing aerobic activity, such as brisk walking or jogging; aerobic metabolic pathways cannot be maintained (Sothern et al., 2000; Sung et al., 2005). Resistance training has also been shown to be an effective way to increase fat free mass (FFM) and bone mineral density while promoting fat loss in overweight and obese children and adolescents (LeMura & Maziekas, 2002; Yu et al., 2005). II. Methodology Selection of Subjects Present investigation was done in order to "Carry out a Fat Burning Training Program on the Fat Proportion of University Students. To fulfill the purpose of the study, researcher themselves, invites the students of Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University to attend the training program. The total of seventeen students (N-17), age ranging from 23-27 years old from the different departments had joined the program at the first day, But due to lack of motivational techniques used, overload of the training program or may be due to the personnel reasons eight students (N-08) had dropped the training program. Selection of Tools As per the Administration feasibility, expert's views and the researcher's own understanding, the Skin Fold Caliper was used in order to know the fat proportions of the students. Criterion Measure The data was taken from the different surfaces of the participants, name as given below: Biceps skin fold Triceps skin fold Sub Scapular skin fold
