The Truth About Exercise
It
is almost clear that you have already done hundreds of sit-ups, you have tried
all those “miraculous” gadgets they show on TV, you may have even went to the
gym to exercise on that instrument which helps improving your ab. After all
your endeavors, you realized that everything was in vain, that your belly is
“embellished” with that same old fat. All that physical exercise consisting of
sit-ups, movements of the crunch type made with the help of that special
exercise machine left your belly as it was to begin with. This kind of exercise
is actually useless and that is how it will always be. If all the physical
exercise you do is composed of crunches and sit-ups, then you should expect
some unpleasant changes going on with your belly. Why? Because the muscles on
your abs get bigger and they will push against the fat, giving you the
impression that you have just added new layers.
Remember
that supplements are absolutely useless. You could even be surprised to
discover that they might just cause fewer calories to be burnt when you get to
eat actual food. So, what results will you have by swallowing all those “fat
burning” supplements? Absolutely none. The only pills that can actually burn
fat are those prescribed by the doctors which, unfortunately, are extremely
dangerous.
You
must have spent thousands on all kinds of pills, very “effective” fat loss
pills, all sorts of fake products, you must have tried every existing exercise
of the cardio type, from the really fast and demanding ones to the slowest
cardio programs ever invented. The result? Zip. Your flabby, horrible belly is
still there, faithful as always.
It
has been demonstrated that physical exercise such as interval training is
actually more efficient than slow cardio meant to burn fat, and similarly,
heavier resistance training is an exercise that manages to eliminate more belly
fat and calories than the useless “high reps get you cut” type of exercise.
Specialists
of the Laval University from Quebec decided to compare in one of their studies
about interval cardio training, the steady, slow-moving cardio training with
other type of exercise called interval training. The specialists discovered in
amazement that those who did interval training managed to shake off more body
fat, as opposed to those who did cardio. It is surprising because 99% of all
the programs for fat loss recommend slow cardio as the most effective exercise
for fat burning.
Physical
exercise has been intensely studied during the past twenty years. All those
exercises regarding fat loss which could be found in the magazines of the 80’s
but also the 90’s are considered to no longer be effective exercises. Today,
nobody will recommend steady physical exercise in the gym to work on one body
part at a time, and then get bored with one long hour of slow cardio. This kind
of exercise requests a lot of time and, besides, it is not that efficient.
An
exercise device such as a treadmill was considered to work wonders when it came
to losing body fat. Wrong! It was terribly expensive and nothing more. All fat
loss programs which imply long, slow exercise are most likely to be almost
totally inefficient. They may even cause injuries. There is another kind of
physical exercise, which actually manages to burn fat efficiently. Such an
exercise is able to burn more fat than the standard, traditional cardio
exercise and it is based on strength training.
A
traditional exercise for fat burning says nothing about strength training
because most people cannot understand the principle that makes strength
training be such an efficient exercise for fat loss. In the case when your
program suggests strength training in order to lose fat, it might refer to the
usual high reps to low weight, but that is actually futile as it has no influence
on body fat.
Your
exercise intended for fat loss must always include strength training provided
that you want to have six-pack abs, flat stomach and defined arms. This type of
exercise is very good for the protection of the mass of lean muscle which is
usually lost during those stupid starvation diets but also in the case of a
physical exercise such as slow cardio. Avoid such situations because you will
lose 60 pounds in half a year, but then you will put back 70 in just three
months’ time.
Physical
exercise intended for the abdominal muscles is not efficient for burning fat,
on the contrary, it might make you look even worse. No matter how many hours
you will spend riding the bicycle, jogging or tread milling, no fat will be
burnt. Do not forget that!
