What Cardio is Best for Fat Loss ?

Oh boy … Technology is wonderfull … when it works !!! I have been without internet for a week and was suffering with a guilty conscience not being able to add more information on my blog for everyone.

So, on catching up on my email this morning, I received a newsletter from Craig Ballantyne, my favourite exercise author and owner of
Turbulence Training. I highly recommend signing up for his free newsletters (Click Here to go to his site to sign up for his free newsletters – I love them - Turbulence Training.)

This is an extract from his last newsletter I wanted to share with you:

Over 40 years ago, Dr. Kenneth Cooper invented the term "aerobics"
to describe what most people call "cardio".

Now I don't blame him personally for wasting the time of millions of men and women who were suckered into believing cardio was the best way to lose weight.

It's not his fault at all. The problem was too many uneducated trainers misunderstood the point of Dr. Cooper's aerobic workouts, and well, here we are.

In the past 2 years I've discovered 3 very interesting research studies...

1) One study showed interval training was better than cardio at burning belly fat (and cut the workout time in half)

2) A second study found that 300 hours of cardio per year helped men lose only 6 pounds (and women lost only 4 pounds). So that's about 50 hours of cardio per pound of weight lost - at BEST!

3) A third study found some folks start eating MORE when they start a cardio program. These folks end up gaining weight on aerobics.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying cardio makes you fat (as a few people have asked), but it might cause you to eat more, and therefore indirectly you might gain weight because of cardio.

After all, something is going on because I continue to get emails from women who are doing 5 or more hours of cardio per week and their thighs are getting BIGGER!

What a cruel, cruel joke your body must be playing on you!

So we've had 40 years of cardio's oppressing reign on the weight loss hopes and dreams of millions of men and women.

That's why I wrote my book, "Just Say NO to Cardio"

I also wanted to share with you the interval training revolution.

My mentors at McMaster University, where I did my graduate studies, were among the first scientists to recommend interval training guidelines back in 1981!

I stumbled across their research paper - and still carry it around in my interval training files - as my foundation for fat burning workouts.

I first used these programs in the mid-1990's while training clients on "the back 40" of the University training grounds. I tried hundreds of combinations of interval training programs, and each one helped my clients burn belly fat in record time.

Those were my first clients who were able to, "Just Say NO to Cardio"
and get faster results.

Only a couple of years later, while working in scientific lab, I would create the first complete Turbulence Training workout.

In my book you'll learn everything you need to know about how to burn fat and lose inches without doing slow, boring cardio again.

Viva la interval training revolution,

I have posted this (hope Craig does not mind me sharing it !!!) because I am a fanatical fan of Craig’s workouts and philosophies. Craig’s TT Training Manual introduced me to interval training, and I haven’t looked back. I love the fact that it only takes 20 minutes, and is fun to do. Interval training is also so versatile, because you can use anything from a stationary bike, treadmill, bodyweight circuits, to sprints up the hill outside your house ….

I have two AMAZING FREE reports written by Craig Ballantyne that he has given me permission to give to my friends, so send me an email at
" jstep@telkomsa.net " with “Cardio Reports” in the subject line, and I will happily send them to you (they are PDF files, so there is no cost involved – I love FREE STUFF !!! especially reports like these that have really great information in them).

Well, until the next time, have a great day and keep fit and healthy.
