Best Fat Burning Exercise

fat loss – your gain – weigh the odds

Fat loss doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive, like those diet programs, and those high-priced equipment purchases, or those gym costs, not to mention all those hours spent. It can be done at home, in your private corner, at your leisure, when you have the time to devote. And you can start with no equipment, or just a couple of dumbells if you want. And following a little advice on eating habits helps too. What are the best and what are the worst foods. Fat loss or gain, you make up your mind.

Some people do cardio exercises for more than six hours a week. Some of them still have fat to burn, and others make some progress. However, in a study done by British researchers on thirty- five overweight men and women the fat loss results were quite surprising. After exercising five times a week for twelve weeks they lost an average of 8.2 pounds. But damn, that’s a lot of exercise! And the best subject lost over thirty-two pounds, but the worst actually had a gain of almost four pounds. The reason was that some of the participants got hungrier after the workouts and the increase in appetite wiped out the effects from the exercises.

Few people ever lose as much as 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio workouts. And few even lose 8 pounds with aerobic exercises. Some curse, huh? So what you should do to beat this curse is use high-intensity turbulence training. Bodyweight exercises combined with dumbell exercises for fast fat loss in as little as three times a week – 45 minute sessions for the experienced. For beginners you start out with introductory exercises to work your way up to the high-intensity ones. And you can choose between exercises designed for women and those for men who desire more muscle gain.

Don’t Waste Your Time on Cardio for Fat Loss

Cardio is a Waste of Time 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.
