Attention! –If your goal is to boost your metabolism, shed fat and achieve results in the shortest time possible.
Is this you? listen up and get ready, this are the Top 3 Mistakes you are making that can destroy your metabolism, zap your energy and keep your body soft and flabby like JELLO.
1- Hours of Cardio?
Cardio is not the end-all be-all solution to fat loss. Working longer
and harder will not help you lose fat – in fact it can make you store
more fat! We have gotten hung up on the notion of "calories burned".
This causes us to obsessively look for ways to increase calorie burn
in the hopes that we are also burning more fat. Unfortunately you are
only risking the loss of muscle and receive little to no increase in
your metabolism once you stop.
Besides, why would you want to torture yourself with the unnerving
thoughts of minutes needed to burn fat? What if you miss a day or eat
too much? My buddy Craig Ballantyne refers to this punishment as the
"Cardio Confessional". We've all done it, but what results has this
habit rendered?
It's not how many calories you can burn per exercise, but how many
calories you burn 24-7. You already possess the most powerful fat
burner – your muscle! So why punish yourself and risk the loss of your
fat burning potential? Toss the notion of long bouts of cardio out the
window. INTENSITY is the KEY to getting the most out of your cardio in
the least amount of time. So revamp your cardio program with new,
energizing short burst intervals!
2- Target the Trouble Spots?
Jennifer Garner's toned arms and Fergie's fab abs is not created by
some "magic:" exercise that mysteriously melts fat off a particular
area of the body. It is time to banish the "Spot Reduction Myth" once
and for all.
There simply is no "one" exercise that acts like a "magic eraser" to
rid your body parts of unsightly fat. That's not how the body works.
If you want to loose fat, you instead need to challenge all of the
muscles in your body to boost your metabolism, so you lose fat all
over.
When it comes to fat loss, isolated, shaping exercises are a waste of
your time. Just because you "feel the burn" does not mean you ARE
burning the fat. One of the most effective ways in which to maximize
your fat-burning potential is through full body, short burst
resistance training. By working several muscle groups at once, short
burst resistance training saves time, skyrockets your energy levels
and incinerates fat and calories.
3- "I don't want to get bulky; I just want to get toned"
Think about what you are saying here. Toned, simply means you
have shed the fat that once covered your muscles – so we can see your
muscle definition. Muscle gives your body a lean, tight shape.
No you will not bulk up like a man. Women simply do not have enough
testosterone to get "bulky" nor, typically do they spend enough time
with weights to look anything other than lean, toned and firm. The
only reason some women feel like they look bulky is because they have
excess body fat while building muscle, but are not eating in a way
that supports fat loss.
Plus, muscle takes up less space than fat. The quickest way to drop a
jean size is to incorporate short burst resistance training into your
fitness routine.
If muscle makes you cringe, then you need to get used to a thin, soft,
flabby body. For lean, toned, fit bodies have low body fat and a lot
of lean muscle.
Instead of working hours on end month after month for little if any
results, try eliminating these fitness faux pas from your program and
start letting your body work for you to achieve your fat loss goals.
