Are Your Exercises To Lose Weight Actually Hurting You?

by Heather Hughes

Most exercisers today do long-duration cardio and aerobic
activities as exercises to lose weight. They think this
will help them lose fat fast, but this is a huge mistake.
Recent studies have shown that long-duration cardio exercise
doesn't work to burn fat. When this is what everybody's
been doing, how could it be wrong?

There are many reasons, but I'll focus on the two most
important. What happens when you exercise on a treadmill or
bike at moderate intensity is that your body does burn fat
during the exercise. This sounds like what you want, but it
isn't.

Your brain is wired to keep you alive. So what you're doing
is sending a signal to your body to keep fat around for the
next time you exercise. It's unbelievable, I know, but what
you really telling your body is that "you'll be doing this
exercise again, so keep some fat around". It is true that
you're burning calories during a workout, but as soon as the
workout is over your body goes to storing fat again for the
next one. Obviously, this is not what we want. What we
want is to burn fat as fast as possible.

The other thing that happens with medium intensity aerobic
activity done several times a week is that your body becomes
really good at it. Your training your body (lungs, heart,
muscles, etc.) to become super efficient. You may be asking
"What's wrong with that?". I know it sounds good to make
your body efficient, but is not very good for you. What's
happening is that you end up working within what you're good
at, and never improve your aerobic capacity.

This is important, because your aerobic capacity determines
how well your body handles all kinds of stress. If you
don't expand your aerobic capacity, and that's what happens
with this type of exercise, you are probably actually
diminishing your long-term health, not to mention not
letting your body burn the fat should.

How about some good news? There is no reason that you have
to live with those effects. You can actually quickly
reverse them by using high-intensity resistance training
instead of moderate cardio. The best thing is that these
workouts only take about 20 minutes, and you only have to do
them about two days a week.

These types of workouts are amazing. They burn carbs during
a workout. This is important, because when you do this over
the next 24 hours your body will reach into its fat stores,
and burn the fat that is on your hips, thighs and tummy.
Isn't that a neat trick? That is the best kind of exercise
to lose weight.

In order for this to work the exercise must be performed
correctly. You need to have enough intensity and you need a
short rest periods of less than 60 seconds between sets.

When you use this type of exercise program to lose weight,
you will be getting the result that you want. You'll be
burning fat and losing bulges. - 15668
