Do you have 4 minutes a day to dedicate to your fat loss success? Gone are the excuses that usually sound something like this, “I don’t have the time to exercise.”
A study was then done at Physical Activities Sciences Laboratory, Laval University, Quebec, Canada, that compared the impact of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and high-intensity aerobics on fat loss.
The results were that the low intensity group burned more calories during their workouts almost twice as many. But the high intensity group resulted in 9 times more fat loss for every calorie burned while exercising. Isn’t that amazing? Nine times more fat loss!
So how did this happen?
The high-intensity training continued to burn more calories when the workout was over. The high intensity group raised their metabolic rate to increase their Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) or “afterburn effect.”
What does this all mean to you?
Increase your intensity by taking your workout to a new high. You need to stop obsessing with the amount of calories you burn while working out. Instead a high intensity exercise program will require more energy output during the session and thus will result in a greater energy expenditure during your post-exercise recovery. You will burn more calories for 24-48 hours AFTER your workout!
For fat loss purposes, it is more effective to perform an exercise program that will induce your additional energy expenditure.
Stop obsessing about how many calories you burnt in your last cardio session and take your intensity to an increased high. The fat loss benefit to you is, increased results in minimal time.
Anyone can allocate 4 minutes a day to exercise. No more excuses just results.
Try this one…
Prisoner Squats 20 seconds
Push-ups 10 seconds
No rest and repeat
8 Sets
That’s it 4 minutes and you’re done! But say hello to your new increased metabolic rate!
Dedicated to your fitness success,
