I feel that steady pace cardio is a very ineffective way to train and a waste of time in my opinion that could be better spent on variable intensity (interval) training, or
more high intensity resistance training (weights, bodyweight training, etc).
If you're not already
making high intensity resistance training (weight training) the foundation of your exercise routines, start putting more focus on this, and less focus on the boring cardio exercise routines.
The good news is, you can reverse these effects by instead focusing your workouts
on high intensity resistance training, with workouts that last 15 - 20 minutes on average, and can only be performed 2 - 3 times per week.
High Intensity Resistance Training (HIRT), which is the technical term for the style of lifting I just described, burns far more calories than just about any other type of exercise you could be doing, in the shortest amount of time.
In my experience,
the higher intensity your resistance training, the quicker your results will be.
A cardio workout WO N'T cut it for this... it must be
high intensity resistance training to deplete enough muscle glycogen to handle restaurant portions of carbohydrates.
There are many alternatives for turning on EPOC, for this article we'll show
you High Intensity Resistance Training.
