My Secret Counter to the Cardio LIE

Here’s the truth: cardio’s effective for fat-loss if the exercise is done with intensity. There were some studies done recently that spearated twenty seven overweight females into 3 categories: a control group, a Low Intensity Exercise (LIE) group that worked five days out of seven, and an High Intensity Exercise (HIE) group that worked 3 days out of seven. Who do you think got the rapid weight loss?

Intensity means that the Lactate in the blood has already build up higher than it can be dissipated. At this level, there is a certain amount of discomfort that makes it difficult to deal with for more than half an hour.

The trial discussed had the women work off a certain calorie count rather than elapsed time for each session.The individual subjects burned 400 calories in each session.

This meant that those who were at the lower level took more time to workout than the higher level did.

In the end, the more intense group showed much better results. In fact, the low intensity group was the same as the control group. They looked as if they did nothing. Do you want to lose 20 pounds or not?

Now you know the reason for my distrust of less intense exercise.More intensity produced dramatic fat loss.

To review, let’s see what we know for a fact.

More exertion is going to have a positive effect on your weight loss.You’ve only lard to lose if you work intensely.You are better off doing nothing than to spend your days doing less intense exercise.

The obvious drawback is the time. Even with more intensity you have to spend at least half an hour just to use four hundred calories. So if you want to get your body composed of less fat and more muscle, your best bet is with HIE, unless you’re willing to do intervals. Just get away from the cardio LIE: it’s going to nothing but frustrate you and make you lose time. You can talk about this in the weight loss forum.
