Ban the Treadmill! The Role of Cardio Exercise in Losing Weight and Burning Fat

You may be wondering how it is possible, when we said in the past that cardiovascular exercise is the key to fat loss. My answer to this question is "no sense" - And for many of you this is fantastic news, because there are very few of us who really like running on a treadmill of "destination anywhere" for hours at a time.
I saw him many times.  


After registration at the gym, most people thing is to get on the treadmill, ride 04/05 to 05/05 km / hour, and walk for an hour while watching the television screens. After an initial improvement, months would pass with little visible change in appearance. Has this ever happened to you?

Do not feel bad if you've fallen into this trap. Has been teaching in our initial and fitness professional for cardio to be effective, we must exercise at a rate of 55-65% of our maximum heart rate for 45-60 minutes, to ensure that we remain in the 'fat burning zone.


 "This is very boring, so many customers are distracted watching TV, reading books or listening to your mp3 player. I think this is a waste of time, because I now understand that" unconscious "moves without approach leads to decreased motivation and draws.

This means looking at the problem from an emotional point of view. The science behind breaking the hard cardio "myth" LISS is that this kind of hated exercise increases stress hormones, growth hormones decreases and leads to overeating.


 The stress hormone I mean here is "cortisol" - responsible increased fat in the abdomen (abdominal fat) and growth hormones are responsible for building muscle and burning fat. By continually participate in Liss, you may lose a little weight at first, but the end result will be a limp body "skinny-fat" tone without definition.

At this point you may be thinking, "Great, I'll never have to redo aerobic exercise" ... not so fast! The heart is a muscle, and when we do not use our muscles are consumed. Increasing your aerobic capacity is very important in your overall health ... is the type of aerobic exercise that is about to change from now.


I would like to introduce a high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the key to getting all the benefits of cardio exercise program in the office of the fat, increase growth hormones and change the way you look in a minimum time. HIIT training is the -COURTE periods "interval" of intense exercise followed by periods of rest / recovery.  


There are many ways to do HIIT, you can try a simple example would today be running (fast!) For a block and walk two blocks, repeating the cycle seven times over a period of 15- 20 minutes. Another way is to turn the intensity on an elliptical machine for a minute and then turn down for two minutes, repeating the cycle 6-7 times.

For fans who like to ride your bike, a natural HIIT circuit would be an area with lots of hills and valleys. Those who love swimming can swim a few laps, tread water for one minute, then repeat this cycle over a 15-20 minute period. There are so many possibilities, and when combined with an activity you enjoy, you are sure to get results, because it is a program that certainly respect.


HIIT has so many benefits ... the most important for me is the feeling of "high" that I need when I finished my training because I am a firm believer that a positive emotional state is within the key to looking good on the outside. Other benefits include more efficient burning fat, decreased muscle loss, increased resting metabolic rate (RMR), improved oxygen consumption (VO2 max), improved insulin action and better athletic performance .


In short, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain to stop these endless cardio sessions ... slipping of the feet of the machine, watching the endless clock, stupid TV program on screens n 'choose and lost all the time and energy. I encourage you to check references below and take a minute to reflect on this knowledge.


Good luck, and I hope you try HIIT cardio session today ... you'll be glad you did!
