Cardio for weight loss

This will be something that I am going to type quickly but the information is still important. Cardio alone will never make you loose a pound unless you are either 1 extremely over weight, or 2 you run or walk in excessive amounts. The reason is because most forms of cardio when done alone make the exerciser loose more muscle then fat.

Think in your mind of the average older woman who says she walks on the daily basis how her physique looks. I will not completely strip this hypothetical woman of all her dignity because her physique looks better then the older woman who doesn't walk or do anything at all. But how much worse is her physique then the older woman who has a personal trainer and mix's cardio and strength training together to look like she is 20 years younger then her actual age.... Have I made my point yet?

Cadio should be done as a SUPPLEMENTAL exercise to strength training. Which should be your primary focus! Each exercise should consist of 35 -45 minutes of strength training! then what ever other time you have left be it 10-15 minutes use that for your cardio and go home! that is the best advice I can give to someone who is either trying to tone up get jacked loose weight or just tighten up the extra body mass that seems to never go away! Try it and let me know how it works for you, because it has worked for my clients.
