5 Reasons Why “Slow-go” Cardio Just DOESN'T Work

Tweet

Hi, Tyron here with really cool guest post from Joel Marion, fat loss and body transformation expert and creator of Cheat Your Way Thin, the "cheating" system to effortlessly strip away countless inches and melt stubborn body fat fast.

But before I get to that I just wanted to remind you of my 36 Day Rapid Fat Loss Holiday Program that I'm opening today, Monday November 30th.

People are always wanting to the fast solution to help them shrink the waist, hips and buns area…

… while there is no quick fix (I don’t care what the infomercials claim) I did go to the drawing board and crafted a new 36 day rapid fat loss program that’s right up your alley – if you want fast results.

You probably know that Resurrect Your Body Boot Camp's evening class is pretty much full, but we do have room for another small group so I thought I’d let you know that my NEW 36 Day Rapid Fat Loss Holiday program starts Monday, November 30th and the best part is that the 36 day program is discounted to only $147 and INCLUDES my Unstoppable Fat Loss Nutrition Formula Program to help you incinerate the body fat fast. That's up to 24 sessions of boot camp for ONLY $147 at a ridiculously low rate of $6.20 per session!

The only catch is that the camp is almost full and we can only take on 3 more participates. So if you’re ready to fit into your skinny jeans again and want to firm and tone your body all while dropping inches and pounds then make sure to register for our 36 Day Rapid Fat Loss Boot Camp.

Here’s how to register…

Now to why "slow-go" cardio DOESN'T work for fat loss.

---

Apparently, many people are still stuck doing long duration, low-intensity cardiovascular exercise — yikes!

Here’s the deal: if you’re looking to achieve maximal benefit from the time you put into your workouts, long duration “slow-go” cardio is NOT the way to go, and for many reasons.

Here are my top 5:

1. Minimal calories burned — 45 minutes on the treadmill may burn a whopping 300 calories if you’re lucky, the equivalent of ONE TENTH of a pound of fat. Exercise ten hours a week and you might just lose a pound!

Which brings me to my next point:

2. Way too much time involved — I don’t know about you, but I don’t have hours and hours of my time to pour into working out each week. In fact, very rarely do I ever exceed three hours of exercise weekly, and you know what? That’s ALL you need.

Beyond that, slow-go cardio is:

3. BORING as heck — Sitting on an exercise bike staring at the wall in front of me for 45-60 minutes? No thanks.

But perhaps even worse is the fact that slow-go cardio provides:

4. No prolonged metabolic benefit — Did you know that with higher intensity exercise it is possible to continue to burn calories for up to 48 hours post workout? It’s true. But you know what else is true? Long duration, low intensity cardio provides virtually NO prolonged elevation in metabolism. In fact, with slow-go cardio, metabolism returns to baseline almost IMMEDIATELY following the exercise session.

And finally, the reason that trumps all the others:

5. Minimal fat loss — Minimal calories burned during the session and virtually no additional calories burned afterward = minimal, if any fat loss results. And let’s be honest, the only reason anyone is doing cardio is for the “result”.

So if slow-go cardio isn’t a great solution, what is?

Short duration, high-intensity exercise. Less time, faster results — THAT’S what it’s all about. Circuit-style training where you go from one exercise to the next with MINIMAL rest. This REALLY gets the metabolism cranked up!

And keep in mind, “high intensity” is relative to you. I don’t care if you’re already in great shape or if you’re 40 lbs overweight, you can exercise with intensity.

So what about you? Are you stuck doing slow-go cardio or have you embraced the benefit of much shorter, higher intensity sessions?
