One of the most frequent
questions that I get from my clients is how to lose
belly fat. You see, many folks are confused and need
to know whether or not cardio exercises is better for getting
rid of stubborn belly fat than weight training. Or they wonder
if the usual aerobic exercises is superior to interval
training. The truth is, aerobic or cardio exercises is NOT the
best way to get rid of belly fat. Interval training exercises
give you a much BETTER fat melting workout that will reduce
your stomach fat.
With over fifteen years of
experience helping my clients, training my body, training for
athletic competition, spending tons of time in the health club,
AND applying laboratory research on various exercise methods, I
am fairly sure which exercises works and which ones
don't.
However, I want to "box" my
responses. I'm going to tell you what works for folks that have
a limited amount of time for activities, mainly because I
expect my readers don't have the ninty minutes per day put
aside for a workout. Most people are NOT represented by the
typical audience of a major fitness magazine.
This is why there is a big
difference between some of the health and fitness infomation
found in these periodicals and the ability of the reader to
apply it to their lifestyle.
I think you will agree with
me here that we just don't have six to eight hours every week
for robust activity, nor do we need it. If you're a triathlete,
you might need that, but not someone that just wants to lose
belly fat and gain muscle tone.
So the bottom line for getting a
better body is...
Use bodyweight exercises to
warm-up, strength training sets to build your muscles, and then
end your workout with interval training to blast off your fat
in a short amount of time. I've structured my Turbulence
Training system so that you are in and out of the health club
in 45 minutes or less, no more than three times per
week.
And you'll start off by doing
five minutes of bodyweight exercise routines to warm-up. This
is a much more efficient approach than spending 5 minutes
riding on a club bicycle, which really doesn't prepare you for
anything except more riding on the stationary
bicycle.
Next, we will move into the
strength workout supersets, where we use 2 exercises done right
after each other with minimum rest between each set. This will
cut down our workout time, while still giving our bodies the
maximum results. We only need twenty minutes for this phase,
and we'll just use simple exercises, and sometimes use more
more bodyweight exercises, depending on the client's goal for
muscle toning and fat loss.
For the grand finale, we'll
do just eighteen minutes of interval training. A warm-up
followed by 6 quick intervals at the individualized fitness
level for the client. And sure, you will have short amounts of
low intensity recovery time and finish off your whole workout
with a cool-down routine. The total amount of time? forty five
minutes!
If you compare the exercise
routine above to what most people are doing -- which is
running, jogging, cycling or using the cardio machines for
forty five minutes straight. Sure, that will burn off calories,
but it WON'T build a toned and sleek body.
To be honest with you, there
are "dark sides" to long slow cardio exercises and they are for
example, overuse injuries, and inefficient for of exercise. If
you only have thirty to forty minutes for your workout routine
and you spend it all on a cardio machine, how are you going to
train the rest of your major muscle groups and sculpt a better
body?
In my expert opinion, the
very best way to burn belly fat is following a combination of
strength training and interval training
routines. My
exercise routines are fast, they work and they are
definitely more fun!
If you want to know what is
better for fat loss than doing the same old boring cardio, then
