Cardio for Fitness
Many fitness models spend hours on the cardio machines in
the hope that the cardio will lead to supreme fitness.
Usually this isn’t the case.
Now don’t get me wrong. Doing cardio for 1-2 hours a day will definitely burn some body fat.
After all, most experts say you need to do at least 20-30
minutes a day just to get into the fat burning zone.
So that means the first 20-30 minutes is just a warm up
basically. Then whatever time you spend after that is the fat
burning zone.
The problem with this is that it is not very efficient. There are
several other things you could be doing to get into a fat burning
zone in a few minutes, not 20 to 30.
The other problem with long term cardio for fitness is that once
you stop the fat burning stops.
You get absolutely no after burn effect.
The after burn, which with some exercises can last 48 hours or
more, is what you are really after. And it is much more
efficient.
In just a matter of minutes you can burn way more calories and
body fat than you can by doing 1-2 hours of cardio.
Then you will have more time for family and friends. Which will
be a lot more fun than grinding it out on the cardio machines.
Tomorrow we will look at a way to really change your cardio
into a fitness machine.
Exercising regularly is so crucial for overall fitness. This article and numerous others on websites like http://fitnessforu.info do provide a certain motivation to keep fit. Rest is on an individual.
