More cardio is not the solution... ;D It will make you skinny fat. Society today makes us feel that having or doing more is better. Thinking of your exercise volume as you would a savings bank account is a dangerous scenario. You see, in a savings account, the more money you accumulate, the more you are rewarded interest (well, I know you received a lot more before 2008). Training for fat loss is NOT like this. You will save time with this method. This recent scientific study is the proof: Canadian researchers tested long cardio (30 minutes treadmill running) against bodyweight cardio workouts (4 minutes exercise: 8 rounds of 20 seconds of jumping jacks, squat thrusts, mountain climber or burpees with 10 seconds rest).The researchers concluded “extremely low volume bodyweight interval-style training” will increase cardiovascular fitness equal to regular cardio while giving you GREATER improvements in muscular endurance. SCIENCE FACT: 4 minutes of bodyweight exercise worked just as well as 30 minutes cardio. Reference: McRae, G. et al (2012). Extremely low volume, whole-body aerobic-resistance training improves aerobic fitness and muscular endurance in females. Appl Physiol Nutr Metab.
