You Are Wasting Time Doing Cardio

If you go into any gym across the world I guarantee that you will see loads of people doing slow boring cardio on the machines. This is what the mainstream fitness media still believe is the key to burning fat. Turbulence training users on the other hand know that interval training is the most effective method to burn fat.

Not convinced?

In a recent study by the North American Association for the Study of Obesity subjects aged between 45-70 were instructed to train for 6 days a week for a whole year doing aerobic exercise (cardio).

With the serious amount of training every day you would expect dramatic fat loss results over the year right?

To the great surprise of many, (but not me) the fat loss results were quite disappointing. Men on average lost 6.6 pounds of fat and women only 4 pounds over the entire year. Do you think that over 300 hours of cardio exercise was worth it just to lose a measly 6 pounds of fat. In my opinion; NO WAY.

So what's the alternative method; Turbulence training. Using body weight strength exercises and high intensity interval training will give you far better fat loss results, in a much less time too.

If you tend to train outside, next time you are walking or jogging the streets try incorporating some interval training into your workout. If you find a hill, run as fast as you can up the hill for 30sec then rest as you walk back down. Repeat 6 times. Or, a favorite of mine is sprinting in between street lights e.g. Sprint from one lamp post to another, jog to the next then sprint to the 3rd. Repeat this until you do 6 sprints.

If you are in the gym you can do a interval workout on the treadmill, cross-trainer, bike, steeper or the rower.

So if you want to burn fat, stay away from long boring cardio. Try Turbulence training for your fat burning program.
