Lose Fat-Aerobics Is A Waist Of Time

By Bryon Zirker

It is time to get off of the Aerobic kick to lose fat, regardless
of the media. There is a better way to lose fat and get in shape
with a lot less time. What was that, you don't believe me?
The North American Association for the Study of Obesity did
a study where subjects aged 40 to 75,did 60 minutes of aerobic
exercise each day, six days per week, for 365 days.

Now with all that exercise you would think that as a group they
would lose hundreds of pounds of fat, yes?Surprise, the average
fat loss was only four pounds of fat for female subjects and lost
6.6 pounds of fat for the men. Not time well spent in my opinion,
to lose six pounds of fat after over 300 hours of all that Aerobic
exercise.

Get the same if not better results with a lot less time used up to
do it. Try this, when walking outside, locate an incline and challenge
yourself to run up it for 60 seconds, then slowly walk down for 60
to 120 seconds. Repeat up to six times. When you are walking on
a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to challenge yourself for 60
seconds, then return to a normal pace for 60 to 120 seconds. Repeat
up to six times.

When you are doing interval training focus on doing each session
at a level that forces you to catch your breath during the rest
periods in between sets.
