Can You Read A Book When Performing Your Cardio?
As a weight loss expert I’m at the studio more or less every day. I notice the same people trying to lose weight. They get on a treadmill for example and start to read a good story or the latest Hollywood gossip in a magazine.
What do you thing happens to those guys? In 5 months – or even a year – they will weigh the same, and they’ll be wondering why? They’ll say ‘I go to the gym 4 days a week, why am I not losing weight?’ I’ll tell you why.
Trust me, if you can read a novel or a magazine during your cardio session, you not pushing yourself hard enough! When you do your cardio, reading a magazine should be the last thing on your mind. You should be focused on your breathing and trying to catch your breath!
People who get the greatest results are the ones who push themselves outside of their comfort zone. I accept that long slow cardio can be good for form and when you need a change once in a while. But if you really want good results – Express Fat Loss- go with the interval training and push hard!
How can you perform the interval training? I prefer to use the treadmill but you can use the stair master or the bicycle. Don’t forget to start with your warm-up (5-10 minutes), and amplify your speed (or resistance) slowly. When you are done with your warm-up, really up the pace (or the resistance) and sprint for 1 minute. Then, slow your speed and jog or spin gently for 1 minute. Repeat the pattern 10 times. Let me know if you can read a novel with this workout! If you still can read, you’re not sprinting fast enough!
This is the best way to make your cardio work to the maximum, increase your heart capacity to transport oxygen to your muscles, and get the greatest results for weigh loss. Best of all, you don’t need to stay on the cardio machine for 60 minutes. That way more time for you and your family or for doing other activities!
This is the same technique I used for the lean body challenge from Lee Labrada – Labrada Nutrition- last year, and I became the grand champion! Next time you hit the cardio machine, forget your magazine, bring a towel and your water,enjoy the ride and lose weight.
