Do You Know What Is The Best Aerobic Exercise For Fat Loss? Part 2

This is the moment you have been waiting for... Part 2!

As I mentioned in Part 1 -- interval aerobic training kicks ass over the slow, plodding, steady and more importantly -- BORING steady cardio...

With that in mind -- let's cover more ways to lose excess body fat -- which is the main goal for most of us...

And truth be told... you probably have noticed that no matter how much you work out... you STILL cannot rid yourself of stubborn body fat and belly fat...

The reason for that is probably you hit the fat loss plateau so to speak.

So let's deal with that problem and get your fat loss workouts back in gear. The key thing to keep in mind is add VARIETY to your workouts!

You can do several things. You can change your workout plans every four weeks. You can modify your training.

Here are some things to consider:

1. Switch methods of training -- do bodyweight exercises instead of free weights or machines.
2. When doing interval training -- go shorter or longer on the high intensity part of the workout.
3. You can include more or less high intensity intervals during your workouts.
4. You can rest longer or shorter in-between your weight sets or cardio intervals.

The next thing we should talk about is what kinds of interval aerobic training you can do based on my experience, these are all very good:

• Sprinting on grass at your local parks
• Bodyweight sets and reps
• Running on the treadmill at home or at the gym
• Stationary cycling machines
• Stairmaster machines
• Rowing machines
• And if you don't have anything better, sure, use the Elliptical machines

The next obvious question you are going to ask me is, "How exactly do I do interval aerobic training and are you serious about using bodyweight exercises in place of the more traditional aerobic/cardio training?"

For the first part, keep reading and yes, I'm serious about using bodyweight exercises. It is one of the BEST ways to pump your body up using just your bodyweight, you can do this at home and you won't need to buy a bunch of expensive equipment...

Are you ready? Then here we go!

I suggest that you ramp up with a 5 minute warm-up on your choice of aerobic activity. Then start your interval aerobic phase...

And then speed up to almost near your maximum speed of output and hold for thirty to sixty seconds. Then slow down to a recovery speed for double the intensity phase.

Do three to six intervals per workout.

To use an example: I could jog for five minutes to get my heart rate going a little and warm up my muscles. Then I would sprint near my maximum speed for 30 seconds. Then slow down to a jog for 60 seconds. Then I could run fast again for 45 seconds. Slow to a jog for 1.5 minutes. Then speed up for 1 minute. then jog for 2 minutes. I could repeat all the previous intervals for a total of six intervals for a complete workout.

And you can do this for all the other types of interval aerobic workouts including bodyweight training. One more thing... depending on your fitness level -- listen to your body. After completing your interval aerobic workouts -- you should be tired but you shouldn't feel like crap or gasping for breath. If you are, slow down partner! Just work your way up... Rome wasn't built in a day, you know!

The great thing about interval aerobics is you are going to burn your fat. Even when you are done for the day and watching the TV. Intervals are part of the secret for fat loss.

Now go, go, go! You will notice the change in your body and improvement to your overall health and fitness.
