Cardio Training

I was reading this article today about a fad diet "Lose 18 Pounds In 4 Days".....that's just nuts and if you fall for that you will be sick and maybe hospitalized!

I have said this before so here it is again.....losing weight and burning fat is not the most important thing in your life (it improves the quality of your life)......television commercials try to make you feel that way because they are trying to sell you their quick weight loss program! Don't buy in! These programs almost always lead you to yo-yo dieting and even more weight gain and frustration...

I have been writing to you all week about doing fitness the right way.....this method takes more time but the results will always be you have a "lean and toned" body-----PERMANENTLY IF YOU KEEP EXERCISING! So, slow down and do fitness right!

It is safe to lose about 2 pounds per week (on average) as a part of your exercise program. At the beginning of your program, you might lose more weight and then level off in later weeks. So, if you want to lose 30 pounds the right way, then expect it to take about 15 weeks. Your genetic makeup and adherence to your nutrition plan are two factors that could increase/decrease this time frame.

What is the right way to exercise? A combination of interval cardio exercise (3-4 days a week) and resistance training (at least 3 days a week) is a proven effective permanent fat loss/weight loss duo. Resistance training will cause the majority of your weight loss to be fat-mass loss (increasing lean mass at the same time) and it will also speed up your metabolism.
