I get sick of getting these emails with the revolutionary fat loss programs that are supposed to melt flab fast, and all they are is slow cardio routines. The truth is that traditional cardio workouts suck and they waste time and they aren’t going to help you. Reveal your cardio experiences in the weight loss forum.
Now I can tell you about one more study where cardio was done with alternating intensity to burn fat effectively. For example, I’ve seen research that compared biking at a constant rate, maybe 2/3 maximum) for a whole hour.
Keeping the intensity the same, the hour was split into two 30 minute rides with a twenty minute rest in between. After alll the data was in, the study revealed that the same amount of calories were burned in bothe workout sessions.
Another point of the study showed that the fat burned during the recovery period was more for the group that split the ride.
I don’t think this means a lot at all.For starters, twenty minutes of intervals would be enought to get even more results than both of those two workouts combined. Cardio will not promote rapid weight loss.
Another thing is that I can’t see anyone wanting to work out this way. Besides, it takes more time.If you’re able to comprehend that even with that kind of percentage difference, that we’re probably talking about a caloric differential of fifty or so.
When you see people there at the fitness center, what do you tell the pople waiting around reading as they burn those fifty extra calories between their cardio iterations?
I don’t have the time to sit around reading magazines that long, do you? I want you to know that traditional cardio is totally worthless: even the studies that are supposed to promote cardio prove what I’m saying is true. Only intervals will help you lose 20 pounds.
