I don't know about you but I find cardio tedious, dull, boring and mundane and let's face it there are about a thousand other things we would all much rather be doing with our time than spending it sweating away on a treadmill, xtrainer or bike...
For me, I do cardio for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to burn fat! Specifically to elevate and boost my metabolic rate to put my body into a state of maximum calorie and fat burning so it goes to work for me and melts as much body fat from my physic as humanly possible.
As far as I'm concerned that is the main purpose of cardiovascular exercise in the gym! And in my 15 years experience of being in the gym environment, the health and fitness industry and working one to one coaching and training my private clients, it seems that is the same for the majority of people who do it too.
However. Must people go about it all-wrong and simply waste their time, energy and effort on ineffective, unproductive and inefficient cardio workouts!
What if I could give you a way to get twice the results in half the time and literally turn your body into a calorie and fat burning machine in regards to your cardio workouts?
So if Fat Loss is your primary goal then let me give you the absolute best investment you can make in the gym when trying to burn more calories and fat in less time.
Take advantage of High Intensity Cardio Intervals.
It's really quiet simple... set up your chosen piece of equipment or exercise, whether it's running, cycling, climbing or whatever, it doesn't matter. You can even do this swimming! Then once you have warmed up you do a fast hard, high intensity burst of exercise for 30-60 seconds (30,45 or 60 seconds) then follow that immediately with a 60-120 second period of low intensity recovery.
For example you would sprint for 30 seconds as fast as you possibly could, then walk for 60 seconds to recover. A ratio of 1:2, work to recovery, works best. Then repeat this alternating between the two intensities of high and low for between 15-20 minutes.
If you do this correctly, get the intensity right and put the effort in you should feel your have worked to your absolute max by the end of the 15-20 minutes. Quiet simply the more intensity you create the higher your metabolic rate will go and for the longer period of time it will be raised for resulting in your continuing to burn even more after the workout has finished for hours and hours and yes... hours!
This is by far the absolute best invested use of your time and effort in regards to cardio for fat loss and will get you twice the results in half the time if done correctly of most importantly consistently.
Aim for 3-4 times per week and track your progress and you won't believe the results... A new leaner lighter fitter you in no time!
