I often get asked, "What's methods to reduce weight and lose my belly?" Many people want to know if aerobics is way better than weight training, or if traditional cardio exercise is much better than intervals.
Actually, to say I've done all of them would be an understatement.
With over many years experience helping many people, training myself, training for sports, spending countless hours in the fitness center, AND actually conducting laboratory research studies on different exercise methods, I'm pretty confident in knowing what works and exactly what does not.
However to start with, I'd like to frame my responses. I am about to discuss about what works best for people that have a little period of time to exercise, typically because I expect your readers will not have 90 minutes daily to devote to a workout, unlike the typical people of a fitness magazine.
That is why there's a big disconnect between some of the information found in magazines and the ability of the reader to use it to their lives.
We just don't have 6-8 hours per week for doing exercises, nor do we need it. For anybody who is a tri athlete, you'll need that, but not someone that just wants to lose fat and gain muscle.
Having said all that, the bottom line for getting a much better body is...
Benefit from bodyweight exercises to warm-up, strength training supersets to build muscle, and complete training session with interval training to shed weight in a very short period of time. I've structured my system so that you are in and out of the gym in 45 minutes, three times each week.
You are going to do 5 minutes of body weight exercises to warm-up. This is a additional efficient approach than investing 5 minutes walking on a treadmill, which really doesn't prepare you for anything except more walking on a treadmill.
Then we switch in to the strength training supersets, where we use two exercises performed back to back with minimum rest between each. This reduces our workout time, while still giving us most efficient results. We only need 20 minutes just for this, and we'll use basic workouts, and sometimes even more bodyweight exercises, according to the client's goal for muscle building.
Last but not least, we can do 18 minutes of interval training. A warm-up, followed by six short intervals at the appropriate fitness level for the client, interspersed with small periods of low-intensity recovery. End with a cool-down. And that is the workout. Again, about 45 minutes total.
Comparing that to what most people do, which can be run, jog, cycle or use the cardio machines for 45 minutes straight. Sure, which will burn calories, but it does not build a better body.
Believe it or not, there are some "dark sides" to long slow cardio, including less-than-optimal results, the potential for overuse injuries, and it is an inefficient form of exercise. If you only have 30-45 minutes for your exercise and you spend all of it on a cardio machine, when are you going to train all of your muscles and sculpt a much better body?
For that reason the best ways to burn belly fat is with a variety of strength training and interval training. It's fast, it works, and it is fun!
