Are You Still Using Old Fashioned Ineffective Exercise In The Hope That You Will Lose Weight?
Do you believe that if you want to lose weight the longer you do some type of cardio activity the better and the more likely you will be to burn off that excess body fat? Maybe you are the reason why they put time limits on the cardio equipment at the gym. You may also have reached a fitness result plateau and feel like you are all \"cardio-ed out\".
You see, when you perform the same \"cardio\" type of activity week after week, your body will adjust to whatever you are doing, put the brakes on and you will fail to make any further progress with your results. Anyway this type of exercise is extremely old fashioned and ineffective if your goal is to lose body fat. You see, you need to speed up your body\'s engine - your metabolism to truly get results. The modern focus is now on what happens after the exercise session is over as opposed to the old model of what happened while you are performing the exercise session. Speeding up the metabolism can only happen when the exercise is of sufficient intensity (degree of difficulty) to stimulate the release of the \"fitness\" hormone called human growth hormone. When you exercise with this purpose in mind you will allow your metabolism to give you greater fuel burning every minute of every day even when you are resting. Low intensity, low resistance, long, slow, mind numbing boring types of exercise will simply never ever achieve this. What you need is proper exercise that involves strength building and maintaining activity. Using large movements utilizing multiple muscle groups together you can crank up your metabolic rate to chew into those fat stores faster than you ever believed possible. Strength training exercise should be a very large part of your exercise program if your goal is to lose excess body fat. It is also very important that you learn correct exercise technique and the intensity level has to be at the right level.
Enlist the help of a fitness professional to help you set up the program and teach you what you need to know so you can get results as quickly as possible. If you have been spinning your wheels for weeks, months (even decades) getting very little to no results from your exercise program it will be a pleasant surprise to see a leaner, stronger and fitter you emerge when you get the correct program in place. Aim for a minimum of two strength training sessions per week as the base of your exercise program.
You can also add one or two interval training sessions per week involving high intensity segments of activity (bodyweight exercises, running, cycling, rowing, skipping etc) for shorts bursts of 10-20 seconds then a minute or so of rest. Repeat these bursts 10-12 times to really kick your metabolic motor into action.
Combine this with a natural, whole food diet of 4-6 small meals every 2-3 hours throughout the day for a perfect recipe for weight loss success. Shoot for as much unprocessed food as possible for even better results. By dropping out the endless ineffective \"cardio\" type sessions you will have more time to spend preparing your food for the next day. So wherever you are you have a couple of meals already sorted with you so you should not have to grab unhealthy food when you are hungry and need feeding. If you can stick to this simple program for even 80% of the time you will get results faster than you could ever imagine. You will be kicking yourself that you have wasted so much time doing something that has produced so little results. Never mind just get started and you will soon make up this time. It is only when you continue to do what isn\'t working that you will truly lose out. Remember exercise harder - not longer for weight loss success.
