*effective Fat Burning Cardio* By: @trent_mccloskey - 👋 Hi! So, real quick: Cardio alone does not equal fat loss. It should be thought of as an extra tool to use with your strength training & proper diet… - If you’re eating less than your body burns each day, your body has no choice but to tap into its stored blubber 😌 - Excessive cardio becomes an issue for folks when hours & hours are invested in it because: Your appetite gets ramped up 😟 - Your chances of losing muscle are increased 💪👎 - Your hard efforts can be ruined in one single snack 🥜🍎 - & it’s tough to stick to an intense schedule, especially with everything else you have going on 😣 - So, if you want to use cardio as a handy tool to speed up the process… ⠀ - HIIT Cardio (High-Intensity Interval Training) is my favorite for that 🙃 - It’s been shown to burn more body fat, lower the chance of losing muscle & the best part, you’ll spend less time doing it ✅ - HIIT Workout Example📝 - After a 3-5 minute warm-up of low intensity, you’ll be alternating between: - Max output (30 seconds) Moderate output (60 seconds) (active recovery) ⠀ - For the duration of 20 to 30 minutes without stopping in between 😅 - The treadmill, rowing machine, & bike are great for this method of cardio🏃♀️🚣♀️🚴♂️ - End with another 3-5 minute cool down… - Bonus: You can also do 15 minutes of HIIT & then 15 minutes of steady state cardio 😤 - 2 to 3 sessions a week is all you need so it doesn’t interfere with your workouts, & it’s your preference, but I always enjoyed doing HIIT on non-lifting days🏋️♀️ - And of course, this is not any magic solution — it’s a useful tool that may be a more enjoyable option for you to help stay consistent… - Along with using cardio more as a strategic tool, rather than doing excessive amounts 5-6 days a week 💯 - Have you tried HIIT before? - #cardiofix #cardiotraining #cardiotime #fatlossjourney #fatlossmurah #fatburning #burnfat #losefat #marathonmaniacs #marathontraining #elliptical #stairclimber #sprinting #sprinter #tabata #liss #hiitworkout #hiit #barbellcomplex #circuittraining #cuttingseason #shredding #getshredded #weightlosssupport #liftordie #liftinglife #doyouevenlift
