Your Cardio Routine is Keeping You Fat ?
When most people think of a cardio routine one thing comes to mind. About an hour of jogging at a moderately intense pace, 3-5 times per week. However, so many people follow this plan without seeing any results.
Then they start thinking to themselves, "I need to eat better, I must be different, why doesn't anything work for ME?!"
If this is you, then start questioning the source of your information, NOT why your body is so different. The truth is that moderately intense cardio is one of the worst ways to burn fat off your body.
Every other day when you jog half-heartedly for an hour, your body starts to burn fat off your body at a certain point through your workout. While this sounds good on the surface, it is the reason that so many people see little to no results from this type of workout.
When your body starts to burn straight fat during your workout, it has run out of carbs (available energy). By getting to this stage, you are communicating to your body that it better start storing fat again so it will have something to utilize for energy the next time you go for a run.
So you burn some fat off during your normal cardio routine, then the next time you eat, your body starts to store fat for your next workout. This is exactly what we don't want to happen!
To get the results you're looking for, start doing VERY intense workouts over a shorter period of time.
Lifting weights is an excellent idea, but if you want to stick to just cardio routines, change your hour long jogging session into a 20 minute sprinting session.
First, you'll find that you have 40 extra minutes every day that you workout. Which is extremely valuable in itself!
But you will starting getting much better results.
Doing shorter, more intense workouts will give you more strength, burn fat off your body quicker, as well as beefing up your lung capacity and heart strength.
