How many hours per week do you spend doing cardio?
Everyday spinning classes? Boom, overuse injury.
Elliptical lover? Zero results.
Dreadmill intervals? Death by boredom.
Now we have a NEW problem with cardio. Scientific research has
exposed the dangers of excessive cardio.
In late November 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported on the
harmful effects of excessive cardio on your heart. According to
the WSJ, research to be published in the British journal “Heart”:
Running 20-25 miles or more per week eliminates the benefit of
the exercise as you grow older and causes excessive wear and
tear on the heart.
Damn, that’s bad news if you’re an exercise ADDICT. The sad
thing is, most of these folks will ignore this blatant fact
and continue on their merry way.
But the truth about cardio is this:
1.You can get more effective fat burning workout in less time
2.Spending less time exercising means less wear and tear on your
heart, joints and muscles
3.You can free up a TON of time, at least 200-250 minutes/week
if you’re running a 10 minute mile, and spend it doing more
important things
Three strikes and you’re out. Game over.
Even Dr. Kenneth Cooper agrees. The father of ‘aerobics’ has
said, “If you are running more than 15 miles a week, you are
doing it for some reason other than health.”
So is a grizzly bear chasing you? There’s a valid reason to
get your run on. But in all seriousness, there are no bears
where I live in New York City (just other scary people) and
as you can see, the fat loss benefits of “cardio confessional
time” are minimal.
As an avid marathon runner, plenty of my friends pointed out
this fact to me. The thing is, my marathon training programs
no longer involve running more than 12-15 miles/week, or even
longer than 60 minutes continuously in a session.
Instead, the workouts include training with total body
movements and lifting heavy to get stronger, metabolic
resistance training and tortuous high intensity intervals.
Each workout typically lasts no more than 20-35 minutes.
The shocking thing is this works! No overuse injuries, no carb
loading and it helped me shave 54 minutes off my marathon time.
So listen, if you want to exercise for health, fat loss while
increasing your energy and vitality, you need to train with
bursts of intensity in shorter workouts.
That’s why I created Fat Loss Accelerators. <– Get 31 workouts here
