Aerobic Exercise is THE Secret to Burning Fat and a Healthy Heart
Aerobic exercise benefits your body in so many ways... why would you want to miss out on those benefits?
How do six pack abs sound? How about the leanest body you've ever had? What about a strong and healthy
cardiovascular system? Skyrocketing energy levels? Endurance that will last in any situation.
Doesn't that sound great? If you want those benefits, you MUST perform aerobic exercise regularly and progressively.
Here's What MOST People Do Wrong When It Comes to Cardiovascular Exercise... Do You Make These Mistakes?
Some people don't do enough cardio... sometimes close to ZERO cardio while others do way TOO MUCH aerobic exercise.
Most of the time, men and women who are trying to gain muscle mass very fast decide that cardio exercise does not help
them reach their goals. So they cut out all forms of cardio and rely only on the cardio benefits from weight training.
Then you have the people who only do aerobic exercise ALL THE TIME and never get results. They never get results because
their body has adapted to them doing SO MUCH cardiovascular exercise.
Today, you're going to learn how to do aerobic exercise properly for burning fat at the fastest possible rate. Weight
lifting does not burn fat directly -- cardiovascular exercise burns fat directly.
So, we're going to teach you how to have fun doing cardio and get the fastest possible results too!
Weight Lifting VS Aerobic Exercise Why You Need to Do Both ALL THE TIME...
Weight lifting is a form of anaerobic exercise. Cardiovascular exercise,
of course, is a form of aerobic exercise. Do you know the difference in the two?
During aerobic exercise, energy is created through the use of oxygen.
Energy for anaerobic exercise is created in the absence of oxygen.
The use of oxygen to create energy is a far more efficient process in your body than
creating energy in the absence of oxygen.
Because of the higher efficiency of creating energy with oxygen, you can perform
aerobics for much longer durations. Anaerobic exercise consists of short
bursts of about 2 minutes or less due to the lack of oxygen in creating energy to sustain
the exercise.
Sometimes it's hard to draw the line between aerobic and anaerobic with certain
forms of exercise.
Weight training and sprinting are anaerobic while jogging, cycling, and swimming for longer
distances are classified as aerobic in nature.
Football is mostly anaerobic while soccer may be classifed more as aerobic. Most
sports have periods of low intensity followed by bursts of high intensity. Lower intensity
is mainly aerobic while higher intensity turns to anaerobic -- in general.
Use Anerobic Exercise for Building Muscle And Strength... Use Aerobic Exercise
to Burn Fat from Your Body
For fat burning and cardiovascular health, aerobic exercise is definitely the
exercise of choice. Nothing else compares.
Body fat cannot be burned directly from your body without the presence of oxygen.
This means that you CAN burn body fat during aerobic exercise. You cannot burn body
fat during short bursts of activity as in weight lifting and sprinting.
Increased muscle mass and burning calories from those anaerobic activities will
help you 'indirectly' burn fat but never directly during those short bursts of
activity.
Now aerobic exercise is a different story. If you perform the right activities at
the correct intensity for the correct duration, you will leave each aerobic workout
with less body fat than before you started.
And that's why you need to incorporate cardio no matter what your goals
may be... even if you're trying to build muscle, you MUST do cardio but keep it to
a minimum.
If Your Goal is to Build Maximum Amounts of Muscle, Here's What Your Approach
to Cardio Should Look Like...
I've been in this situation before. I focused on building maximum amounts of
muscle mass before. And I made many, many mistakes.
I eliminated cardiovascular exercise completely because I listened to some of
the so-called experts on forums, message boards, and other websites.
No matter what
you do, you should never do ANYTHING that will hurt your health.
And that's what I did by eliminating cardiovascular exercise completely.
Here's what happened...
I went from about 155 pounds body weight to 240 pounds body weight over the
course of several years. My goal during that time was to build muscle as fast as
possible. So I cut out all aerobics and focused on weight training only.
WRONG MOVE. Guess what happened? My blood pressure skyrocketed when it had always
been perfect. My cardiovascular system was not accustomed to carrying around so much
weight... and this wasn't body fat either... I gained mostly muscle.
So, I HIGHLY recommend that you always perform at least 3 aerobic exercise
sessions PER WEEK during your muscle building cycles on the WLC Program. You need to let
your body become accustomed to the extra muscle mass weight by doing cardio regularly.
If Your Goal is to Lose Maximum Amounts of Body Fat, Here's What Your Approach
to Cardio Should Be:
You should always start out with the minimum amount of cardio... that's 3 cardio
sessions per week for at least 30 minutes each. You only want to do as much cardio
as needed to lose about a pound of fat each week.
One pound of body fat is equal to about 2 cups of body fat. So, should strive to lose
about 2 cups of body fat each week with no muscle loss.
Aerobic exercise will easily allow you to lose 1 pound of body fat each week if
you're doing everything right.
When fat loss begins to slow down, you start adding cardio workouts to facilitate
more fat loss.
On the WLC Program, you will always opt to add more of the right types of cardio
before you decrease the amount of food you are eating. You'll learn to BURN FAT instead
of starving your body.
When you starve your body, you WILL lose muscle mass. And you don't want that...
so that's why the WLC Program allows you to burn body fat by eating more instead
of starving yourself and losing muscle mass.
So, when fat loss slows... increase the number of aerobic workouts for
the upcoming week. Fat loss will increase IF you follow the WLC Program guidelines.
