- Q: Are you really saying to never do Cardio again?
- Absolutely. If you want to lose weight, get in the best shape of your life and maximize every minute to get their as quickly as possible, never do "cardio" again. The type of "cardio" I'm talking about is the kind that 95% of people who say they do "cardio" are performing. I'm talking about going for a jog, a walk, a bout on the elliptical, a spinning session or a run on the treadmill. These traditional forms of "cardio" are a waste of your time and can, in many cases, be extremely harmful to your body, your motivation and even your heart.
- Q: Can Cardio really be bad for me?
- More than you know! The fact of the matter is that the consistent pounding of the body from traditional forms of "cardio" can lead to severe injuries in your back, knees, ankles and everything in between. Moreover, since most people choose it because they don't have to think about it to do it, they perform it using poor form and bad posture which only further exacerbates this problem. And if you're wasting hours and hours of "cardio", trying in vain to lose weight and keep it off, the whole ordeal can be extremely frustrating and demotivating. There's no quicker way to derail a newfound desire to take control of your body than to waste effort and lose motivation.
- Q: But don't you need to do Cardio for heart health?
- Heart health is extremely important and traditional "cardio" isn't always the best option to achieve it. You can receive all the heart-health benefits of a traditional "cardio" workout, in addition to some you can't get from it, by going Cardio-Free. Traditional "cardio" creates a continuous, extended state of stress on your heart with little or no rest, which can actually be detrimental to your heart's health. However, the program outlined in The Cardio-Free Diet incorporates exercise done at varying intensities which has been shown to promote optimal cardiovascular health meant for today's demanding world.
- Q: Isn't Cardio important for weight loss, burning calories and shedding fat?
- "Cardio" can burn some calories, but it doesn't burn nearly as many as you think. Many of the popular "cardio" machines are just plain misleading. The single most important thing you can do when exercising to lose weight and have a strong, lean body is build your lean muscle tissue. This will literally change your body's shape and boost your metabolism, which will help you burn more calories 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Q: What should I do instead of my normal Cardio?
- Every minute you devote to exercise should be spent on interval strength training. Cardio is a one-dimensional form of exercise, but being in the best shape of your life means addressing your flexibility, your lean body mass, your muscular and bone strength, your cardiovascular health and ability to stay injury-free. The Cardio-Free Diet exercise program encompasses all of those areas and does it through interval strength training, which means maximum results in minimal time.
- Q: What is Interval Strength Training?
- The Cardio-Free Diet includes an interval strength training program which means you will be performing exercises at varying intensities that increases your heart rate as you execute each lean-muscle-building set to failure and then lowers it briefly as you move to the next exercise. Interval training is widely known to be the most effective form of exercise for burning fat and by adding strength training to the mix, you are maintaining and building your body's most metabolically active tissue: lean muscle.
