If you’ve ever asked a doctor what the best way to lose weight fast is, then you know that the first thing they try to do is encourage you to do some low-to-moderate intensity aerobics to burn off that belly fat. This type of exercise is often referred to as cardio.
They recommend you do 30 to 60 minutes of slow cardio about 3 to 5 times a week. They claim that this keeps your heart rate at a moderate level.
However, before you get involved with such a routine, consider some of the latest scientific research that lends credence to the fact that these cardio exercises may not work so well for someone trying to lose weight quickly after all.
According to their research, our bodies are designed to perform physical activity in short bursts of exertion followed by recovery. Therefore, physical variety should be the key element of your weight loss training. For example, if you look at various sports, you’ll see that most athletes train with this “stop-and-go motion” (as it’s sometimes called).
Furthermore, scientists have known for decades that excessive endurance exercise lasting 30 minutes to an hour only trains the heart to a specific level. You just don’t fully engage the heart if you don’t vary your physical workouts.
To benefit your rapid weight loss goals more fully, what you need are the types of exercises that train your heart to rapidly increase and then decrease rapidly.
Well, I wish you the best of luck with all of your weight loss goals.
