A Cardio Workout That Burns Body Fat Like Mad
If you have been researching the topic of burning body fat with cardio, you
have most likely noticed two types of cardio being pushed.
Target Heart Rate Cardio: This is also referred to as steady state cardio.
The idea is to do cardio for an extended period of time at a steady rate. The
intensity level is low, as this is shown to burn fat for fuel.
High Intensity Interval Training: Also known as HIIT, this is a way of
alternating intense efforts for a period of time with lower efforts for a period
of time. This is done in alternating fashion usually between 10-20 minutes.
The benefit is this burns a lot of calories in a short period of time and
increases HGH allowing your body to burn fat all day long.
Cutting Edge fitness author, Lyle McDonald, calls this routine the
"Stubborn Fat Protocol" due to its ability to burn body fat in "problem
areas". It works well to burn lower body fat on women and abdominal
fat on men.
