Blowtorching Body Fat In Record Time (Part 2)

Recently interval training, where periods of high intensity effort are broken up with periods of lower intensity effort has become all the rage. In terms of marketing this is being hyped as a new fad to the masses even though its effectiveness has been known by those in the know for more than 50 years. The beauty of interval training is that it allows for a much higher average work rate that also creates great metabolic and hormonal changes in favour of fat burning. Proper interval training is one of the keys to transforming yourself into a true fat burning machine.

The thing is to do it properly at the necessary intensity, safely and sustainably is challenging. This is especially true for the masses as various ‘systems’ have popped up promising rapid fat loss results in just 20 minutes or even less of ‘work’. This marketing fad bullseyes the whole ‘quick and easy’ hot button by bastardising solid science that found interval training is more efficient than LSD in terms of fat loss in a given time frame. The reality is that just because you are doing intervals doesn’t mean that you can shorten your work time and expect magical results. To get the best results you still need to put in the time, intervals will just make you work harder so you get leaner faster.

Interval training has great value but it is challenging work. It needs genuine effort and intensity to work otherwise it will turn into just a short low intensity session that burns very few calories without the metabolic benefits. For most people it is also very easy to over do it in their zeal and not have correct work to rest ratios and tire out too quickly or worse injure themselves. Depending on the method chosen (such as running/sprints) it can also be quite taxing on the body including the joints meaning that you may not be able to do it as frequently as you need to. Thus to get the most from intervals, you ideally need a well-managed program to drive the necessary intensity as well as prevent injuries and overtraining.

Despite all the current hype surrounding interval training, it is wrong to say LSD has no value in a maximised cardio program. Again it is a case of understanding how your body works and thus seeing how the advantages of LSD training can be maximised as a fat loss tool. Its strength is that it is relatively gentle on the body meaning that it can be done frequently (which adds up to a decent amount of calories over time) or in addition to interval training for additional work without taxing recovery or even as a form of active recovery. The other key trait is to really emphasise the “long” part of the equation. As great as intervals are, you can’t do them for 6-8 hours let alone for several days but with LSD training you can and if you get creative, this is where it really comes into its own as a fat stripping powerhouse.

To MAXIMISE your cardio and fat loss training it is a matter of harnessing the inherent advantages of both long steady distance and intervals. In theory, to burn off stubborn fat stores as fast as humanly possible you must create a training environment for long steady distance where you could keep the heart rate elevated in the fat burning zone for several hours sustainably to burn a significant amount of calories with a high proportion of them being from fat TOGETHER with finding a way to perform intervals as often as possible at the necessary intensity by not impacting on the joints and carefully managing work to rest ratios and recovery to reduce muscular soreness.

Once you understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various pieces of cardio equipment in the gym as well as being a little creative exploring other fat loss training options it is very easy to create a practical fat loss training system for yourself that perfectly matches the theoretical model and will rapidly incinerate fat when combined with your customised nutritional system.
