Research shows how to start burning off excess weight today!

www.makeyourbodywork.com Recently I read a worthwhile quote that pertains to many areas of life:

"J.B.S. Haldane, one of the more eccentric and remarkable biologists in the 20th century, explained four stages in the acceptance of a new theory.

1. This is worthless nonsense. 2. This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view. 3. This is true, but quite unimportant. 4. I always said so."

It is legitimate. We don't like change, may it be change in the way we do things or change in the way we think. While I could think of many fitness-specific examples of this in action, Let me concentrate on only one: How people attempt to lose fat making use of cardiovascular exercise.

What is the simplest way to reduce fat? For a long time many people have figured eating less and performing lots of cardiovascular-based activities such as running, cycling, or taking aerobics classes can be a sure-fire approach. Extensively held is the completely wrong belief that additional cardio training equals more fat loss. Exactly like Haldane explained, it will require some time to shift the fat-loss paradigm towards a far more correct solution that demonstrates current analysis and comprehension.

To help move us along that path Make Your Body Work (www.makeyourbodywork.com) would like to share with you the results of an intriguing fat-loss study: "The effects of resistance vs. aerobic training combined with an 800 calorie diet plan on lean body mass and resting metabolic rate" in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.

I know you noticed the 800-calorie diet! This study is set up to replicate how people often seek to shed fat...The "all-out" strategy that includes lots of exercise and very few calories consumed. Here's how it performed: There were two groups (men and women, all age 38). For 12 weeks one group consumed 800 calories per day and did aerobic exercise (i.e. walking, running, biking) for 4 hours weekly while the second group had the same diet but completed bodyweight strength training exercises for 3 hours per week using a circuit of 10 distinct exercises.

What took place?

Both groups shed weight. But, the cardio group dropped far more muscle tissue weight and for that reason a lot less fat than the bodyweight exercise training group. Interestingly, the cardio performance of both groups increased at the same exact pace despite the fact that one group hadn't carried out any cardiovascular training throughout the experiment!

So if you would like to boost aerobic performance, get more muscular, and lose weight, use intense resistance training routines like the ones coached at www.makeyourbodywork.com. Perhaps it won't be long before everyone is saying, "I always said so."
