Cardio is a Waste of Time for Fat Loss

Training for Fat Loss
While the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic exercise is a
great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users know that interval
training is the better way to burn body fat.
Still not convinced?
A recent study published by the North American Association for the Study of
Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60 minutes of aerobic
exercise per day for 6 days per week for an entire year.
Given the amount of exercise, you'd expect weight losses of 20, 30 pounds,
or more, right?
Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female subjects
was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6 pounds of fat over
the year. That's over 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a measly 6
pounds of blubber. Not time well spent, in my opinion.
So what's the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using interval
training and strength training to get better bodysculpting results. With
intervals, you'll achieve more fat burning results in less workout time.
The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval
training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline that can
challenge you for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120 seconds, and repeat
up to 6 times.
If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or
speed to safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the
normal pace for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary
bike, or even an elliptical machine to do intervals.
But whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective
cardio exercise workouts and stick with Turbulence Training for your fat
burning program.
