Fat Loss Cardio

The truth about fat loss cardio is that most of the time cardio does NOT work. In fact, I’ve written an entire book about it, called “Just Say NO to Cardio”.

In the shocking studies I cover in the book, you’ll discover that 300 hours of cardio in one year helps men and women lose only 5 pounds, and in another study cardio caused some men and women to overeat and gain weight!

You must re-think your fat loss cardio program if you want to burn belly fat and lose inches. Do you really have 300 hours in a year to devote to long, slow boring cardio. Sure, you can watch TV while you do that, but wouldn’t you rather be at home with your family or friends?

A typical, ineffective fat loss cardio workout looks like this. Six days per week you had to the gym for at least an hour. First, you start with 5 minutes of light walking on the treadmill or 5 easy minutes on an elliptical machine.

Next, you take your heart rate using the machine heart rate monitor, and you do a bunch of weird calculations to help you stay at 60% of your maximum heart rate so you work in the so-called “Fat burning zone”.

After 30-40 minutes, the machine says you’ve burned 300 calories, and you’ve had enough, since you’re bored out of your mind. You do 3 minutes cool-down, “fake” a couple of stretches and wander through the weight machines for 15-20 minutes, using a light weight and lots of ineffective repetitions, and then when you think you’ve done enough “toning”, you pack it in and head for the lockers.

On your way home, you realize you’re really hungry, so you stop at Starbucks and grab a coffee (with cream and sugar – adding 100-200 calories to your day) and you treat yourself to a small cookie or biscotti (because you “earned” it doing cardio).

Unfortunately, you just ate more calories than you burned on the cardio machine! And did you know that almost every cardio machine over-estimates the number of calories you burn in a workout?

So those extra calories in and fewer calories out are what is holding you back from burning your belly fat. Doesn’t that sound terrible? Isn’t that frustrating? Aren’t you sick of this 1 step forward-2 steps back fat loss cardio program you are using?

If you’ve had enough of the ineffective cardio marathon mentality, it’s time you switched over to Turbulence Training, using research proven, belly-fat burning interval training and muscle-sculpting resistance training.

In one study, Australian researchers compared interval training head to head against cardio workouts that were TWICE as long as the intervals. At the end of the 3 month training program, only the women in the interval training group lost belly fat! The long, slow fat loss cardio program did NOTHING for fat loss.

So here’s how your new fat loss interval cardio lifestyle will look. First of all, you only need to workout 3 days per week for 45 minutes rather than 6 days per week for at least 60 minutes. You can even do all of these workouts at home without fancy, expensive machines.

Second, you start each of those workouts with a general circuit of bodyweight exercises, and then you do resistance training supersets of bodyweight and dumbbell exercises, allowing you to get more work done in less time. Then you move on to the research proven fat burning interval training.

Intervals are the REAL fat loss cardio program you should be using. After a 3-5 minute warm-up, you alternate between 1 minute hard and 1 minute easy. You can do this on traditional cardio equipment, running or biking outside, running in place at home, doing jumping jacks, swinging kettlebells or dumbbells or even a medicine ball.

After 6 intervals, you’ll finish with a 3-minute cool-down, and targeted stretching for tight muscle groups. That’s it! On your off-days, stay active with fun, stress-reducing activities, but don’t even think about trying to estimate how many calories you are burning.

Just have fun! Try this new fat burning routine as a replacement for your fat loss cardio and you’ll lose fat fast!
