The biggest mistake most people make when trying to lose weight is, doing too much cardio. I know this statement flies in the face of all that you have been taught about fat loss but the fact is that cardio is not the most efficient way to lose weight. Today I was at the gym doing my interval conditioning and noticed something. Most of the people there perform the same routine every time they set foot into the gym and a year later they haven’t lost a pound. What exactly have they been spinning their wheels with you ask? CARDIO.
Lets face it, when people want to shed a few pounds they lace up their sneakers and hop on the treadmill hoping that a few 30 minute jogs will magically produce their dream body. Nothing could be further from the truth. The human body is an extremely adaptable machine, meaning it will always adjust itself to whatever you do. If adaptation doesn’t occur the result is often injury. So from a fat loss perspective this means you must always find new ways to challenge the body.
Mixing up a combination of resistance training, conditioning drills and some cardiovascular activity is a sure fire way to melt off the pounds. For more information as to how to structure the ultimate fat loss program order The Drop Your Freshman 15 fat loss manual HERE
