Cardio to Lose Fat
I used to go to the gym a lot and do all those boring routines where I jogged on a tread mill for 20 minutes and then another 15-20 minutes on a cross trainer and then the bicycles and the rowing machine and ohhhhh my god is this boring. I mean when you do all this you often watch TV at the same time or reading the latest trashy gossip magazine just to know what is Britany Spears is doing lately, and forgive me if I did not spell her name correctly, I did not really bother checking how its spelled.
According to scientists old fashioned cardio exercises are not only boring but can also cause damage to your body.
Here are just some of the bad side effects of traditional steady pace cardio exercises:
Good Fun Cardio Workout You Can do At Home
There are many cardio exercises that you can do at home or around home, with little or no equipment at all that will burn far more fat and calorie in your body than the old steady pace traditional cardio. I am talking about highly variable cyclic training.
For example you can play competitive sports such as football, basketball, racquetball, tennis, hockey, etc. These type of sports are all comprised of highly variable stop and go motions. If you look at all the basketball, soccer and other sports players, they are all well built, muscly looking people. This is because all their training as well as when they actually play a game is made of bursts of excursion followed by a recovery period.
Playing a ball game is fun! Jogging for half an hour on a treadmill or any other cardio machine is DEAD BORING!
Playing a ball game will initiate a lot of positive reactions in your body that will make it to burn a lot of fat and calorie. Jogging on a treadmill or any other cardio machine may damage your body as outlined in the ball points above.
Now do not get me wrong here, if you go to the gym regularly and enjoy your cardio machine workout and seeing benefits from it, by all means, carry on doing that, all I am saying is that there are far more beneficial and fun cardio workout methods that you may want to consider.
Finally I would like to give you a series of intervals you can do... on a treadmill. If you are in the gym every day you may as well get some fresh ideas as to what you can do on a treadmill that would benefit you and your body much more than just a boring 30 minutes jog.
Good luck with your new training ideas keep at it and you will see results.
