The right way do cardio effectively is with short, high-intensity intervals.
Interval cardio triggers your anaerobic metabolism, which will skyrocket your heart rate and melt the fat -- without eating away your muscle tone. Remember, you need to keep your lean muscle so you can keep burning more fat and calories.
In fact, interval cardio is so effective that you will KEEP burning calories around the clock -- up to 48 hours after your workout is over.
How Can That Be!!
Well, because MAX Workouts is intensity dependent (not time dependent) it triggers a powerful physiological effect known as EPOC (a.k.a. "The After Burn"). Let me explain...
EPOC is a scientific term used to measure your body's rate of oxygen intake following a high-intensity activity. The higher the intensity of the activity, the more oxygen and energy are needed to restore your body. As a result, your body continues to burn calories for up to 48 hours afterward.
So the "calories burned" counter on the treadmill means nothing anymore because your body is going to burn calories for up to TWO DAYS after your workout!
SCIENTIFIC FACT: Short, high-intensity interval training burns calories up to 48 hours AFTER your workout. That means you burn calories while you sleep!
SCIENTIFIC FACT: Lower-intensity aerobic (cardio) activities only burn calories while the activity is being performed
SCIENTIFIC FACT: Anaerobic Strength-training) workouts increase EPOC much more than aerobic exercise does
If there's one major point I want you learn from this article, it's this: fitness is intensity dependent,not time dependent.
So you see, the secret to shrinking your waistline and getting rid of belly fat permanently is NOT to workout longer. You just need to know how to workout SMARTER, which is exactly what you're going to learn with MAX Workouts.
