Walking for Fat Loss???Written by Jesse Cannone
Continued from page 1
Want more proof? Compare bodies of a walker, marathon runner, and sprinter. If you are not familiar with what a sprinters body looks like, it is very muscular and has little body fat while on other hand body of a walker will likely have opposite, little muscle and more fat. The sprinter does little or no low intensity exercise and does primarily short hard bursts of work while marathoner overtrains so much they burn off both body fat and muscle and that’s why they tend to look almost sickly thin. So what should you do then if your main objective is to shed those excess pounds of body fat? Two things: 1. Perform some form of high intensity cardio 2-4 times per week 2. Stabilize blood sugar to minimize storage of new fat I know some of you by now are saying “I can’t do high intensity exercise, I have a bad knee” and don’t worry, I have a solution for you. The good news is that high intensity is all relative to you and your current fitness level. For example, fast walking up and down hills may be high intensity for you... it all depends. So don’t think that you have to start running or something like that. Just slowly start to increase intensity of your cardio workouts while also maybe decreasing time because you can either work hard or you can work long. Also, you can make almost any activity or exercise high intensity.... here are a few examples: · increase your speed · use an incline or hills · increase resistance · perform intervals ( most effective method) Obviously, some exercises/activities or better suited than others but point is if you want to burn more fat and make your workouts as productive as possible you need to increase intensity. To learn more about high intensity cardiovascular exercise please check out following articles: · Forget Fat Burn Zone - http://www.achieve-fitness.com/forget.htm · In Search of Ideal Aerobics Routine - http://www.achieve-fitness.com/ideal.htm · Heart Rate Guidelines - http://www.achieve-fitness.com/cardio.htm Be sure to also check out my Burn Fat FAST! ebook and audio program here: http://www.burn-fat-fast.com - it covers everything from cardiovascular training to strength training to nutrition and more. As with any changes to your fitness program be careful and don’t over do it. Just because high intensity workouts burn more fat, don’t think that you’ll get even better results by doing it everyday - that will quickly lead to over-training and a loss of muscle which will only make it even harder to burn off fat. So if your primary goal is fat loss, don’t waste your time walking and instead focus on progressive, high intensity cardio to maximize effectiveness of your workouts.

Bypass Surgery is followed by new arterial blockage in only a few years. Balloon angioplasty is less traumatic, less expensive, and provides immediate results. More important is growing knowledge that diet can reduce, prevent, and even reverse plaque build up that leads to blockage. Various forms of diabetes and cancer can be prevented by good choices in diet, without those expensive pills and other treatments that are needed after disease symptoms become obvious. Of course, no one lives for ever, but good health practices can result in long and active lives. ****************************************** * Diet with FACTS, not Fat-Burner MYTHS. * ****************************************** For more pages in this health series, send blank email to snips@easyhealthdiet.com
