Kick Butt Cardio Exercise and Weight Loss





MAKE CARDIO EXERCISE A PRIORITY!

You know who you are. You come up with every excuse in the book to skip your workout.

"I have to mop, do the laundry, fold the clothes, pick my kids up from school, go grocery shopping, I have to work late, I'm too tired, blah, blah, blah.

Look, I understand. Who has time for an hour of cardio exercise 5-6 times a week on top of Strength Training ? Not me! When it comes to working out, time seems to be the biggest obstacle. Having said that, we have to find time for it.

Kick Butt Benefits

Treat your cardio exercise workouts like an appointment...cancelling is not an option! Making time for ourselves must become a priority because the benefits long outweigh the sacrifices...

BURN CALORIES...LOSE WEIGHT!

Bottom Line: You need cardiovascular exercise if you want to lose weight and get in shape!

The Strategy

We have been programmed to think that steady-paced cardio of 30, 45, or even 60 minutes is the key to weight loss. That is where we are going wrong!

It is a fact...our bodies will adapt to these long heart pumping sessions when the same intensity is maintained throughout. In other words, our body adjusts, conserves energy and burns less calories.

Okay, let's boost your calorie burn and make the most of your time.

Interval Training

Yes, interval training will get you the most bang for your buck. By intervals, I mean regular bursts of intensity followed by periods of recovery. Your body won't be able to adjust and you'll burn more calories

Added Bonus: The high-intensity intervals create an "after burn" - not only do you melt more calories during but also for many hours following your workout

You can incorporate calorie blasting interval training into any kind of cardio exercise.
