subject: Do You Trust Your Weight Loss Program? [print this page] Many people excersing today still rely on long duration slow paced aerobic exercise as their routine to burn fat fast. But recent studies have shown that this is a big mistake. In fact, you could say that the whole aerobics bust of a few decades past was one of the biggest mistakes ever seen in the health and fitness industry. Why?
There are many reasons, but lets focus on the two main issues here. When you exercise at a slow pace for extended periods of time your body is burning fat during the exercise. As this sounds like a good thing, it's actually quite the opposite.
A signal is sent to your body to keep a certain amount of stored fat available for your next workout. What you're doing is telling your body that it needs fat available to burn, since you'll be doing this exercise again. So while we may be burning some calories during this exercise, after the exercise is over, our body begins storing up some fat for the next workout. Obviously not what we're looking for in terms of maximum ability to burn fat fast.
The other big concern with moderately paced aerobic exercise performed several times per week is that it trains your body to become efficient., and become used to the exercises. This may sound good, but what is actually happening is bad for long term health. You are working only within your existing aerobic limits, without improving your aerobic capacity. And the bottom line is that you will not be able to correctly lose weight.
The reason this is so important is because your aerobic capacity is what determines how your body responds in times of physical, emotional, and mental stress. If you reduce your capacity for work, as you do in this type of exercise, you're reducing your long term health, and definately any chance of burning off any fat.
The good news is, you can reverse these effects instead focusing your workouts on high intensity resistance training, with workouts that last 15-20 minutes on average, and can only be performed 2-3 times per week.
These workouts will burn carbs instead of fat during the workout, and will cause your body to use its fat stores to replenish the burned carbs over the next 24 hours, after the workout is done! This type of work will also increase your reserve capacity and thus your ability to handle all types of stress, leading to lasting health and fitness and 24/7 fat burning.
But the exercise must be performed correctly to be effective, and that means using sufficient intensity, and keeping your rest periods between exercises and sets down to 60 seconds or less. If the conditions do not continue, your final result will differ from that of what you want
