Aerobics Cardio - Boosting Your Metabolism With Interval Training

Click Here To Lose 10 Pounds Fast

Over the past year, I have observed hundreds of people in the gym that have been told to strictly perform 30-60 minutes of cardio, between 3-5 times per week, and they look exactly the same as they first started. If I just described the results of your exercise program, then read on because you are finally going to understand why you might never achieve the results you are hoping for.

Here is the scenario that is playing out in gyms across the country right now. The fitness trainers put their clients through 6-7 hours of aerobic training every week for several months at a time. Towards the end of that cycle, the clients become frustrated because their physique never really changes. So the reaction of the brilliant trainers is simply to encourage them to stick with the program, or even worse…increase the hours of cardio.

So how do you overcome this problem? Do you really need to add more cardio? Absolutely not! Adding extra aerobic activity to your gym routine will solve the lack of results issue. Surprisingly, performing 6-7 hours of of cardio will not help boost your metabolism. As a matter of fact, it most likely will slow down your metabolism!

The misconceptions about aerobic training run deep in practically all the gyms I’ve been to in the past. Most people have been led to believe that aerobic training is the silver-bullet to weight loss. There seems to be a huge gap of common knowledge about aerobic training which most people are not aware exists. The fact of the matter is that aerobic training is not the solution to weight loss. From now on, I want you to forget about all those long and boring cardio workouts. Going down that road is not going to get you the washboard abs that you are striving for every time you visit your gym.

Let me take you through a brief explanation of why people mistakenly believe that steady-state aerobic activity (i.e. running for 30-60 minutes) is the solution to losing fat.

Let me start with a real-life example. If you compare the best long-distance runners (people that run for several hours) and the best power sprinters (less than 60 seconds), which one do you think is leaner? If you said the long-distance runner, you are wrong. Let me explain…

Where to exercise?

If you have a backyard pool your exercise room is as close as your backyard. Unfortunately in several parts of US back yard pools cannot be used year round because of the weather conditions. A heated pool is much superior especially for those seniors who have stiff & painful joints from arthritis. The warm water will make the workout routine much simpler.

What eventually happens is quite astonishing. As you engage in increasingly more aerobic activity, your body begins tapping into your muscles for energy. Your body will literally break down muscle tissue in order to meet those energy demands. That muscle tissue gets converted to glucose for supporting all that aerobic activity. So what this means is that you are creating a less efficient fat-burning machine; your metabolism is actually getting weaker.

Remember the following principle the next time you lace up your running shoes… steady-state cardio training does not build muscle - and doing too much quite possibly can actually make you lose muscle.

So if steady-state cardio training does not achieve optimum weight loss then what is the solution? The solution is called Interval Training. Interval Training, or commonly referred to as Anaerobic training, consists of moderate to high intensity cardio activity.
