Fitness Guide and Diet Tips

You may find that shocking, but true. Aerobic exercise actually burns muscle and reduce fat and your metabolism. All that causes loss of muscle is not desirable, considering that as we age we lose 30% of our muscles alone, approximately 1-2% per year. We can not afford to lose more. This muscle loss will be increased so if low-calorie diet is used in conjunction with aerobic exercise.

Now I know some of you may think, “Ah, so, a little muscle loss is worth if I lose the fat.” I would say that you think about it, it sounds a little scary, but true. muscles are missing not only from your body, but also their vital organs and bones. That’s the heart, liver, kidneys, etc. If your organs to function with reduced speed, then so do your hormones.

There are enough studies have been done to show the importance of diet and exercise. To be healthy, you must have a healthy lifestyle and this means having the right diet and exercise.

While many people opt for aerobic exercise to keep healthy, so they do not know is that anaerobic exercise is also necessary. Anaerobic exercise is done for a short period of time followed by rest. Activities like weight lifting or sprint anaerobic exercise are considered. Although anaerobic exercise does not burn fat as aerobic exercise that strengthens muscles, which is good when combined with the benefits of aerobic exercise. (more…)

While we know that aerobic exercise is beneficial for the heart and lungs, most people want to know whether to choose to walk or jog. Comparison of standing before jogging to aerobics all depends on what goal or purpose you have in mind.

Here are some of the pros and cons of standing before jogging for aerobic exercise, which actually took place on the basis of studies conducted by the University of Melbourne.

While both running and walking are good for the body, the question is which is better.

* When it comes to weight loss, needless to say that running is better than walking, because you burn more calories per minute to work. To get the benefit of half hour commute, you’d have to walk for an hour.

* The intensity of running better than walking does, but you can walk uphill to get the same kind of benefit. (more…)

While the mainstream fitness-related press still insists that aerobic exercise is a great way to lose weight, Turbulent Training users know that interval training is a superior way to burn body fat.
Still not convinced?

In a recent study published by the American Association for the Study of Obesity in subjects aged 40 to 75, they were instructed to perform 60 minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days a week for an entire year.

Given the amount of exercise done serious expectation of a loss of 20, 30 pounds or more right?

Well the surprising results showed that average weight loss among women it was only 4 pounds over the year, while men lost 6.6 pounds of fat over the year. This means that it took about 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a paltry 6 pounds of fat. In my opinion the time spent was well spent.

Well what is the best method? Stay with Turbulent training using interval training and strength training to achieve better results to sculpt your figure. With the help of the intervals, you could do better and burn more fat in less time for exercise.

The next time that you are exercising in the neighborhood do one interval workout. If you are walking or running, look for a rise to a challenge by at least 60 seconds, then lower walking at least 60 to 120 seconds, and repeat until about 6 times.

If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to a normal pace for about 60 to 120 seconds, and repeat until about 6 times.

You can also use a rowing machine, stationary bike or regular or even an elliptical machine to do intervals.

That does not matter if you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio and continue using the Turbulent training in your program to burn fat.
