Many people don’t realize that cardio is not necessary in order to experience fat loss. There are plenty of people who train hard and have lean bodies who never do any cardiovascular activities. Experience greater fat loss by ditching the dreaded “long” and “boring” cardio routine. Long and boring cardio is counterproductive and will make you fatter
Yes, cardio can help with fat loss, but the more you do, the more you put your new muscle and strength at risk… thankfully, there is something better… and much smarter… and much more fun.
Running on a treadmill has some of the same effects that running without one produces.
The fact is, most runners are not experiencing fat loss.
This is because running has the potential of becoming endurance training. The more miles you run at a steady pace the less likely you are to be losing fat.
What running does is make you more “efficient” at using fat as an energy source. On the surface this sounds fantastic, but it’s not.
Being efficient at using fat means you start to use fat at a slower rate and “better” to fuel activity.
To be more “efficient” at using fat as an energy source means to burn less of it, not more of it! You’re getting “more” out of “less.”
If you’re a hunter-gatherer, and your food is scarce, that’s great. If you’re an ambitious action-taker looking to strip fat, that’s bad.
With all that said… there is a type of cardio training, 8-minutes exercises per day to be exact, that can help you avoid these downsides of traditional cardio and also can add serious muscle to your frame!

The problem with cardio and running gets even worse…
As you become more and more efficient at storing body fat then your only option is to go longer and harder, which then in turn only enhances the effect of burning less and less fat as you get better conditioned!
It’s a deadly snowball.
Isn’t this the exact opposite of why you introduced cardio in the first place?
Eventually, you have to go LONGER to get the SAME effect and results as you did before, which is the law of diminishing returns and becomes counter productive.
This sets up a very bad situation for your body, sex-drive, and lifestyle.
WHY in the world would you participate in an activity where, after a while, you need to do more of it to get the same previous results?
Especially when there are easier, faster and smarter options such as this brand-new approach I created that is making huge waves in the industry right now:
In short, incorrect cardio reduces your calorie-burning machinery. It gives you a smaller and more efficient engine.
However, high intensity interval training is an exercise regimen in which you alternate periods of intense activity within a set amount of time with periods of lighter exercise or periods of rest.
If rest is chosen, then the period is characterized by total relaxation in which no activity whatsoever is done.
By alternating periods of high intensity with low intensity or rest, research has shown that more calories are burned for faster fat loss.
The way HIIT works is not by burning the calories immediately following an intense session, the real benefit is actually derived from the disturbance that occurs to your metabolism.
The research that has been done has sought to broadly compare the overall effectiveness of high intensity interval training as opposed to endurance training.
One research showed some astonishing figures, it turns out that two and a half hours of high intensity interval training is enough to produce the same results as ten and a half hours of endurance training.
This is truly remarkable information.
Another researcher found that the metabolic rate and fat burning potential of those involved in high intensity interval training was actually at its peak during the twenty four hours following the workout as opposed to those who did long stints of exercise at a slower pace.
As you have seen, high intensity interval training (HIIT) is a major component of the after-burn effect.
In recent studies HIIT training has also been shown to increase insulin levels while at the same time reduce body fat, this makes this kind of training promising for the reduction of diabetes.
Below in this video you’ll find a much better alternative for faster fat loss as I perform Barbell Complexes.
The entire circuit will take you 20 minutes to complete. The goal of doing barbell complexes is to do as many rounds as possible with NO rest.
A1. Barbell Push Press 10 Reps
A2. Front Squats 10 Reps
A3. Barbell Row 10 Reps
A4. Dead-lifts 10 Reps
A5. Back Squats
The research has been pretty clear that the older you get, your workouts are going to be much different in order to lose these stubborn fat areas on your body and keep you looking YOUNGER.
I just turned 40 this year and wanted to figure out a way for men and women who were approaching their 40’s 50’s and 60’s that don’t want to join a gym because of lack of time, dealing with the embarrassment of being overweight or simply looking for a way to look years younger.
