Cardio Techniques

Good Morning,

So I didn't post anything yesterday my apologies, I did run across some interesting articles though on cardio techniques to help loose pure body fat.

The true technique to loosing body fat is to preform cardio after a weight training regimen, for no more then 30 minutes in one sitting. A Protein shake is advised before cardio activity, only because of the catabolic effect of extended training.

On days when strength training is not being preformed 45 minutes should be done of cardio slightly more intese. As far as intensity goes it should vary each time lower heart rate burns more fat, higher heart rate burns more calories but dont be fooled. Calories dont always equal pounds! Calories are calories yes but burning body fat is different. Remember muscle burns calories at rest, this is why most people who preform free weight workouts can get away with cheating on their diets occasionally and those who strictly preform just cardio will loose progress if they cheat a single time.

Cardio should not make up your entire workout regimin!
