How to Burn More Fat with No Cardio
There is a wrong mentality going around these days from people that have an exercise lay off attitude. All too often they say to themselves "I'll do cardiovascular for a few weeks and loose off the weights before I start training to build muscles". That is one fatal fat loss mistake.
The fact is you can burn fat without cardiovascular exercises! Although this is shocking and controversial to what most experts say, it's true.
Myth: cardio burns fat, weight training adds bulk
Truth: muscles reside where fat is burned up, training it to adapt to stress and growth, you will burn more fat than you would ever do while performing cardio alone. Cardio is simply a supplement to fat burning efforts. Most people do with it the wrong way.
Many people think they can burn off their fat by doing just cardio, this is simply not the case, not if you want to look good at the end of the road.
The cardio that most people have in their mind has barely any true fat loss enhancement effects. The metabolism increase is only slightly, but nothing compact to training and lifting weights to maintain muscle size.
It is understandable if you want to do cardio for a first good few days to ease back into exercising, but you must do cardio first to get into the habit, keeping it no longer than three days before starting on your weight training routine.
Prolonging any longer and you risk sacrificing muscle tissue and totally literally sabotaging your fat loss efforts!
The best way to get into exercising again after a long lay off is to perform 2 to 3 full body the weight routine sessions per week, keeping them light to moderate in their intensity. After you have got through the first 4 to 6 week of workouts, you can begin strategically ramping up the intensity of your metabolism and burn your fat 24/7.
Below is a sample of full body routine to get you started:
