5 Reasons to Avoid Cardio for Fat Loss


Hi,

Maybe you've been told that cardio is the best way to lose
fat...but if you're not getting results with that long, slow, boring
program then I have shocking news for you.

Recently, Men's Health and Women's Health fitness expert
Craig Ballantyne emailed me the top 5 reasons why trainers
should stop telling their clients to do cardio.

I was surprised by all of the research that is out there showing
just how ineffective cardio is for fat loss.

I know I sure won't be using it to burn belly fat in the future.

Now sure, cardio is good for endurance athletes and for your
health, but when it comes to fat loss, here are the 5 reasons to
kick cardio to the curb:

1) Cardio machines over-estimate the number of calories
burned by up to 31%. (reported in Mens Health, Feb 2009)

2) One research study found that when men and women did 6
hours of cardio every week for one year, they only lost 6
pounds. (Reference: Obesity 15:1496-1512, 2007. Exercise
Effect on Weight and Body Fat in Men and Women. Anne
McTiernan*, et al.)

3) When some people start a cardio program, they end up eating
more, and may even gain weight because of this. (Reference:
International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).

4) Even scientists admit that cardio does not burn as much fat
as you'd expect based on the number of calories burned in a
workout. (Reference: Br J Sports Med. 2009 Sep 29)

5) And finally, head-to-head research has shown that interval
training works better than slow cardio for fat loss - even
when diet is not changed. (Reference: Int J Obes 2008
Apr;32(4):684-91).

Wow!

If you're like me, you would never have known about that
research if it wasn't for experts like Craig Ballantyne exposing
the truth about cardio.

Now you might be thinking, if cardio doesn't work,
then WHAT DOES?

Well, don't panic. Insider experts like Craig have known for
years that nutrition, interval training, and resistance training
are the 3 most important secrets for helping you lose belly fat.

In fact, Craig's workout programs have been used by millions
of men and women through his articles in Prevention, Men's
Health, and Women's Health magazine, plus through his
Turbulence Training program.

Now I'll be honest with you, and don't tell Craig this, but while
his workouts in the magazines are good, they aren't nearly as
fun and effective as the workouts in his Turbulence Training
System.

In fact, I want you to try my very favorite Turbulence Training
workout that you'll find here:

It's fun, fast, effective...and doesn't require any long, slow,
boring cardio or fancy machines at your commercial gym.

So skip the cardio, because research and results prove that it
just isn't worth your time.

To your success,

Jorma Persson
