Is Cardio dead ?
I had the chance to meet someone who is a well known expert when it comes to fat loss by the name of Alwyn Cosgrove. Alwyn is a man who does a lot of research and came up with some interesting statistics about fat loss.
Working at a health club, I'm able to see many people constantly run to the stationary bikes, or get on the treadmill with a magazine or a book. Now what are we trying to do here? Yes I know cardio can be boring, in fact to ME it's absolutely boring. But if your goal is to drop fat, and finally fit into those pair of jeans ladies or for men, you're looking to get rid of that beer belly, then it's time to take a different approach to your cardiovascular program as well as your normal exercise routine.
It's important that you know key terms like metabolism because what you want to eventually do is burn calories at a higher rate ALL day long. You do burn calories when you're on the treadmill for 60 minutes, but after that your body returns back to normal. The key to shedding unwanted pounds of ugly fat is not only burning calories while you workout though, but after the workout is over you still want to keep that fire burning.
What do I suggest ???
Well first off, if you're not lifting weights, I suggest you meet with a certified fitness professional to learn the right form when performing weight training.
Secondly, leave the magazines and books in the lockers! If you're reading a book or a magazine you're not working hard enough, period. There's no need to be on a cardio machine for 75-90 minutes if again your goal is fat loss.
The most important thing here is intensity. The harder you work, the more calories you're going to burn relative to time. So it's important that you bust your butt in the gym so that you're not only burning calories during the workout, but you're burning calories after it's all set and done.
I'll talk more and more about this. But again definitely start to make the change now, because traditional cardio training literally is holding you back from seeing some significant results.
