Ladies Stop Making This Big Exercise Mistake
Over the years there has been so much misinformation about weight loss, fat loss, and fitness that it’s no wonder so many women are so wrong. A lot of what they do to try to achieve their goals is actually counterproductive. This is the number one fat loss mistake women make.
Biggest Myth of All: The age-old cardio myth is based on the notion that you need to burn more calories to have less fat on your body. And while this is true, it’s not true that aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, or bicycling) is the most efficient way to burn extra calories or stimulate fat loss. It is the least effective way to do this.
There is nothing less efficient than cardiovascular/aerobic activity when it comes to creating a toned, firm, strong, healthy and feminine body. Nothing. Let’s look at the facts. If you jog for thirty minutes, you’ll get a thirty-minute boost in your metabolism, which is the engine of your body.
If instead you had to do thirty minutes of strength training exercise:
o Increase the speed of your metabolism because it depends on the amount of toned muscle tissue in your body. This is a good thing and you will become a smaller person as you lose body fat.
o Burn more calories in actual training.
o Create a metabolic boost for several days (depending on intensity). This means you’ll burn more calories for days to come, even when you’re sleeping or resting.
o Improve your physical condition. A heavy set of squats will leave you breathless as will all your strength training exercises if you do them correctly and put some effort into them.
Remember that what you consider to be cardiovascular activity means that your heart/lung system is only working because your muscles tell it to. You can’t go running with your heart. Your legs run and “ask” the heart and lungs for a greater supply of blood and oxygen to feed the muscles, not the other way around.
Imagine the time you will save when you are exercising that will give you great results. Of course, you can still walk, bike, or swim or do any other recreational activity. But these things are just part of an active lifestyle, not a substitute for a proper exercise program.
Your muscle tissue is your best friend when it comes to getting in better shape and losing excess body fat. Spend the time and have your strength training program set up correctly by a fitness professional who can teach you not only the technique of the exercise, but also the intensity (degree of difficulty) you need to perform those exercises for best results. .
Add one to two interval training sessions each week for the perfect exercise program. These are short bursts of vigorous activity followed by recovery periods. An example of this would be 15 seconds of running followed by one minute of walking. Repeat 8-12 times for the ultimate anti-aging and anti-oil boost on the planet.
Make the switch today and see for yourself how quickly you will progress towards what you have always wanted, a lean, strong, energetic and healthy body.
