SHORT DURATION, HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE~!
By: IPL
Burning fat all day long really only requires
that you understand how to do two simple
things:
#1 - Increase your metabolism for extended
periods of time.
#2 - Create and maintain a fat-burning
hormonal environment within your body
at all times.
I'll talk about #1 today and hit on #2 in a
couple days.
Okay, so let me do a little explaining so you
get it.
Step #1: Increase Your Metabolism
A lot of you know I'm not a fan or believer in
long steady sate activity when it comes to
maximizing fat loss.
Used on occasion or as an adjunct to what
I'm about to tell you, sure...but not as the
standard that so many women think they
need to perform.
Many of you have pedaled yourself away,
ran your share of 5k's and even plodded
along on the elliptical for mind-numbing
lengths of time.
Will those activities increase your
metabolism?
Sure, for about 10 minutes.
These types of "slow" exercise
prescriptions don't do anything
AT ALL for sustained fat loss.
Why?
Because they lack the fat-burning
properties of something much more
effective:
Short duration, High intensity exercise!
Simply put, if you're looking for the fastest
fat loss results, high intensity exercise is a
MUST.
It delivers the most bang for your buck
and puts your body into a hyper state
of fat burning activity compared to
steady state activity.
Want scientific proof?
No problem...

Effect of an acute period of resistance
exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen
consumption: implications for body mass
management.
Study: 30 minutes of resistance circuits
on metabolism.
Results: 38 hour increase in post workout
metabolism.
Here's another...it was on men, but it most
definitely still applies to women.

Influence of exercise training on physiological
and performance changes with weight loss in
men.
Study: Metabolic resistance training
effect vs dieting.
Results: 44% increase in fat loss compared
to dieting alone.
And you thought I was just making this
stuff up ;-)
Simply put, metabolic resistance training
performed as either a circuit or as intervals
is a highly effective approach to increasing
your metabolism.
It initiates a 44% increase in fat burning
and has your metabolism chewing up fat
for up to 38 hours AFTER your workout.
Stay Strong~~!!!
