Using Intense Cardio

Using Intense Cardio

The popularity of intense cardio activity is in the rise these days as more people come to realize the wonders of engaging in these types of vigorous physical activity.
The old style cardio training of long arduous training sessions with plenty of cortisol released into the bloodstream is definitely out and the new method of intense but rapid short bursts of activity is in! Cortisol tends to destroy the muscle and this is apparent if you see the skinny disposition of marathon runners.
These are strong evidence that lengthy session of physical activity wends to destroy muscles cells apart from burning energy.
In comparison, just watch the sturdy muscles of a sprinter. This is the muscles we want-strong, toned and yet the lacks the skinny-like definition of those marathon runners.

The human body is an amazing machine. It can adapt itself to any kind of stimuli it is subjected to. If you perform regular short burst of vigorous activity, it will tend to build muscles so it can withstand their pressure it is subjected to.
But if you engage in lengthy activity, it will want to burn off muscle to enable it to adapt to this form of intense activity.

So if you are sold on this concept and want to start training with this form of intense short bursts of physical activity, here are some suggestions you can use.

100m sprints-find a nice place where you can get yourself engrossed in a short 100 meter dash across the open area. No, this is not an obstacle race with hurdles and all but rather you would want somewhere you can run easily without worrying about tripping over chairs, toys, shoes, your grandmother's wicker chair etc.
Find an open field where you can run and still enjoy the scenery/fresh air. Do this three or four time per session.

If this is not possible if you do not fancy the idea of a 100 meter sprint, get yourself a stationery bike and perform intense workout for five minutes before your slow down for twenty minutes. Repeat this cycle again.

Exercise: Cardio that burns Belly Fat Fast!

Exercise: Cardio That Burns Belly Fat - Cardio Workouts


Everyone knows that cardio burns belly fat. But still most people who do cardiovascular workouts fail to get real results, even if they exercise for hours each week.

The reason is that all cardio is not made equal. If you want to get real results, you need to focus on maximum fat burning cardio workouts and do them in a way that helps you achieve optimal results.

Here are 2 tips:

1. Focus on the the kind of workouts which tend to be more intensive as these workouts will generally burn more fat faster in a shorter time, allowing you to spend less time at the gym and still achieve better results.

Some of these workouts include:

Running
Rowing
Kickboxing
Spinning
Rock climbing (also a strength workout)

Some of the less effective workouts (which are still better than nothing) are:

The elliptical machine
Walking at a slow pace
stationary bike riding (if not spinning)

A good way to increase results is to change your workouts from time to time so that your body doesn't get used to a specific workout.

2. When you do your workouts, you need to do them as intensively and as time efficient as possible. The old belief that the longer you do cardio the better is obsolete. You need to focus on making the most of your time and this means that you need to work hard.

For your cardio to burn belly fat, you should make each workout count. The best way to do that is to do interval training. This means that you change the pace and intensity of the workout you do every few minutes.
For instance, you can sprint for one moment, walk the next, run at a medium pace the following moment and so on. After all, you can't sprint for 10 minutes straight, so changing your pace allows you to sprint at high intensity, and still be able to do a long enough workout to burn off fat.

The kind of cardio that burns the most belly fat fast, combine high intensity workouts with interval training. You will get the best results.

Explosive Cardio Workout

If you are looking for a way to gain superior cardiovascular fitness then you have got to attempt the following workout.

The old mindset of "cardio" being thought of as only "aerobic in nature" is thrown out the window right here. Keep reading to learn what I am talking about.

First of all, if you want to achieve REAL cardiovascular fitness then you have got to ramp up your intensity. Cardiovascular training doesn't only consist of "aerobic" training.

For this workout you will need 2 items. You will need a set of stairs or bleachers and a single barbell or a pair of dumbells of moderately heavy resistance.
Start out the drill on flat ground with the barbell.

Squat and pick up the bell with both hands.
Next perform a series of double-arm overhead swings for 30 repetitions.

As soon as you are finished set the barbell down and sprint up the flight of stairs or bleachers. Try to sprint a height of about 2 to 3 stories if possible. If the bleachers or stairs you are using are less than the recommended height then sprint more times. Learn to manage with what you have.

This is a great barbell cardio workout. By combining both of these drills you stand to make some serious gains in your cardiovascular fitness.

Trust me, if you want to step up your cardiovascular conditioning then you have got to step up your cardiovascular exercise! Train hard and give it a try!

Build Muscle, Burn Fat and Stop Aging

Build Muscle, Burn Fat and Stop Aging

Wouldn't be amazing if you could build lean muscle - burn fat and stop aging ?

For sometime Pro athletes, movie stars, regular men believe that they will become stronger and stay young by taking H.G.H ( human growth hormone ) and they could be risking their lives.
People will spends thousands of dollars to get stronger and younger no matter the cost they don't care- and they could pay with their lives.

H.G.H is produced by the pituitary gland and as we get older we simply don't produce a lot of H.G.H and we tend to lose muscle mass and put on more fat, but there is an answer.

Without spending money on drugs their is a effective way to produce H.G.H naturally with no side effects, and that is with short but intense bodyweight workouts, it has been know that one of best H.G.H boosters is short intense sprints and better yet, is hill sprints- and this is supported by research.

A better way to build even more H.G.H is combining bodyweight exercise with short but intense sprints, vigorous exercise pushes the body to release a surge of growth hormone; eating foods that keep your blood sugar stable and getting a good night sleep H.G.H is secreted most actively at night.

As you become more fit you will still produce H.G.H even when you don't exercise.

1. Short and Intense workouts.

2. Eat low glycemic foods.

3. A good nights sleep.

Look at a sprinter- almost all sprinters have a low percent of body fat and are very lean and muscular; distance runners are usually thin and don't have much muscle.

If we look at how the sprinter trains, he trains doing sprints he doesn't run long distances and the distance runner doesn't usually run sprints.

Try it for yourself:

Find a place you can run for 15 to 20 seconds, a soccer field, football field or a track.

1. Sprint for 15 to 20 seconds- then drop down and do 10 pushups as explosive as possible then 10 mountain climbers.

2. Walk for 15 to 20 seconds- repeat over for 15 to 20 minutes.

Do the best you can with this simple and basic workout, it will work wonders!
