.At the magazine rack, I'm bombarded with headlines screaming, 'Lose 10 pounds before summer!', 'take inches of your waist without dieting!', 'burn 1000 calories an hour with this workout!'. It's hard to sort through what info is legit and what's not.
I, like most people, want to blast fat. So what's the best way to do this? Is it cardio? weights? diet? According to eDiets, it's a combination of all three, but the key to burning fat specifically lies especially in the cardio, particularly the type of cardio your doing. Interval training is the way to go, meaning that your best alternating between short bursts of intensity and periods of rest. This is better at targeting your fat than just hopping on the elliptical trainer and doing the same level of resistance for the duration of your workout. Interesting -- this certainly sounds more exciting than doing the same level or cardio the whole workout through.
What do you think -- quality advice or not?
