Slow cardio sucks part 2

Hi guys.

Part 2 of Slow cardio sucks

You might have heard of mention of HIIT ?Its called high intensity interval training.It is a period of short tough cardio followed by short period of recovery.For example you sprint 1min hard follow by 1min walk and perform this 5-10 times.Its definitely time saving ,physically and mentally challenge and fun. You will never get sick of it(at least to me sprinting is better than running).Actually all sports are considered high intensity exercise.As you improve it gets harder and harder.You can increase the sprinting time and decrease resting time.I guarantee you will sweat profusely and  force you to suck for air. You will get abit light headed after completing HIIT.Dont worry you wont faint :)  but promise me that you really sprint hard as if someone is chasing after your life.


When doing high intensity exercise,your body will be in oxygen debt known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption(EPOC).Very intense exercise can keep your metabolism elevated up to 24-48 hours and you sure want your metabolism as high as prossible when seeking fat loss as i have mention in my previous post.

You may get a lucky dip as an small increase amount of muscle mass.You didnt hear that wrongly.Yes muscle gain because high intensity training favors fast twitching muscle fiber which have the greatest chance for hypertrophy.Girls that are reading this dont worry about getting big because your hormone wont allow you to  and getting big isnt easy or else everyone will be named "The Hulk".And gaining some muscle sure helps with fat loss as it increase your metabolism.Isnt HIIT great?Burning fat and building muscle :)

Howver,you may not have to do sprinting. You can choose rope interval or body weight conditioning like push up,lunges,squat...You know,just be creative and think of ways to make it fun and enjoyable.Success is yours if you want it and i believe everyone is cabaple of achieving the body of their dream provided you are willing to work hard.





Last word ,dont over do it and everything in moderation
Train hard,train smart and train safe.

low intensity cardio sucks

Have you seen alot of  people doing hours  and hours of long/boring cardio each week?Im sure you do and here im going to explain why it sucks and what you should do to burn more calories.

1)Time consuming:Most people spend like 40-60mins of slow/moderate cardio in a day,3/4 times of cardio in a week.Thats a maximum of  4hours a week.Do you have that much time to spare ?Maybe you do but imagine what you can do with that extra time.

2)WAY 2 Boring:Running on a treadmill /cyling on a exercise bike for 40mins?HELL NO!

3)Low calories burn:You may be lucky if your able to burn a whopping 300calories on a treadmill for 40mins.You may not know 1pound of fat is equivalent to around 3000 calories.Consider that if you do 4 times of cardio a week,you maybe burning only  1200 calories .Thats Not even half a pound of fat.

4)No post activity metabolic benefit:You might not know that after high intensity exercise ,you will still be burning fat for the next 24-48 hours(due to after burn,i will talk more in my next post).You might be thinking that its too good to be true however this is a fact.Long and low/moderate intensity exercise do not provide this and no prolonged elevation of metabolism(the higher the metabolism,the more burn calories you burn).Truth is metabolism is back to square one as soon as the exercise ends.



So slow intensity cardio isnt a good solution?What is?
Short duration+High intensity =lesser time+better result.Thats all,its that easy.

Bear in mind , i dont know if your 20 or 30lbs overweight,you will still be able to exercise with intensity.
Train hard,train SMART,train safe=100% result.
