“Time” Magazine Agrees, Cardiovascular Exercise Is A Complete WASTE OF TIME If Your Goal Is Weigh Loss!
Run don’t walk to your nearest newsstand and grab the August 17th issue with a cover story entitled “The Myth About Exercise.” The article conclusively shows that cardiovascular exercise is a complete waste of time if your goal is weigh loss and may actually cause your to GAIN weigh instead of lose.
It’s all about appetite, and when people perform hours upon hours of cardio, they get hungrier.
But, the article does NOT look at the effects of interval based strength training, which is the style of exercise I have touted for years not, which I know for a fact does NOT include the appetite increase associated with cardio.
Plus, you don’t have to do it for hours on end. 31 minutes of interval strength-training, performed three times a week, is a total of only 93 minutes A WEEK. That’s just over an hour and a half. You know you can do that and I know it produces amazing results – you not only lose weight, you lose major inches and your body gets tight and lean – for both men and women.
And, to make the interval strength option that much more appealing, you get a 38- hour AFTERBURN. Think about that, you exercise for 31 minutes and your metabolism keeps chugging for 38 hours and you keep burning more and more calories. That’s HUGE.
There is another a MAJOR flaw in the Time piece. It says that it takes 115 minutes of lifting weights to burn off 360 calories – that’s almost 2 hours. That data is wrong, wrong, wrong. It actually said that vacuuming took only 92 minutes to burn 360 calories. COME ON! Let me take your through a strength-training session and you would see what I mean.
Is both of my recent New York Times bestsellers, The Cardio-Free Diet and The 7-Day Energy Surge, I beg you to quit all the cardio for a number of reasons. If you didn’t believe me then, do you believe me now???
Make no mistake, exercise is essential for weight loss, because without strength-training, you will lose both fat AND muscle, and that will lead to a diminished metabolism. You must perform strength-training or you are doomed to fail.
