Why Do 98% of Fat Loss Routines Fail?

Fat loss routines are an important supplement to the dietary changes that you'll have to make in order to burn off excess body fat.

Ninety eight percent of these fat loss routines are doomed to failure, simply because they require long sessions of moderate intensity cardiovascular routines instead of leveraging short bursts of intense cardio.

While these low intensity fat loss routines still do provide benefits, the results will be far less significant than what you would achieve by focusing on high intensity, low duration fat loss routines instead.

Many "experts" will teach you that you should be able to carry on a conversation while you are exercising.

It's thought that holding oxygen supply in a steady balance with oxygen demand will force fat to be used primarily for energy.

Unfortunately, this idea fails when you examine the big picture of fat loss routines.

This is because these cardio sessions only help you burn fat while you are exercising; there is no "after burn" effect.

Once you stop working out, you stop burning fat.

Let's take a look at what happens when you follow higher intensity fat loss routines instead?br />
An intense workout that pushes the body into an anaerobic state (where oxygen demand exceeds the supply) will force the body to burn carbohydrates for fuel.

High intensity fat loss routines that push your body to burn carbs instead of fat will "spike" your metabolism and produce a fat burn effect that lasts much longer than your workout.

It's true that low intensity fat loss routines burn more fat during a workout as opposed to short, high intensity routines, but the same high intensity fat loss routines burn a greater TOTAL amount of fat during the 24 hours after your workout.

The intense cardio turbo-charges your metabolism and "lights a fire" so to speak that will burn fat round the clock.

Low intensity, long duration fat loss routines do not spike your metabolism, so the fat burn stops the moment you stop exercising.

These fat loss routines are less effective overall because they can't provide these overreaching fat burning effects.

You can save time, boost your metabolism, and burn fat around the clock by switching from long, low intensity fat loss routines to a plan with short bursts of high intensity cardio exercise.

Finish your fat loss routines in as little as 5 minutes or stretch it for up to 20 minutes.

It's important to choose simple exercises that don't require a lot of skill, so that you can focus on generating a high intensity level.

Treadmills, recumbent bikes, and stair steppers are all great choices.

The "interval" setting on these machines is intended to work specifically with these fat loss routines. This means that you alternate between periods of intense paced exercise and slower paced exercise. Multiply the positive results of your fat loss routines with the addition of interval training.
