Get off those over hyped cardio machines because when you jog along on a steady pace you do not make your body work properly to burn fat and calories. It is like driving a Ferrari in town all the time, the engine wants to go on the open road fast. That is what it has been built for. Driving it on 50km/hour all the time will ruin it.
Here is why you should start do bursts of exertion exercises rather than steady pace ones:
It is not healthy. You train your heart at one heart rate which is very low, that can cause blockage in the arteries when your heart rate accelerates and your blood pressure goes up. Think about all the times you get really excited about something or scared or stressed which we all do on a daily basis, these are the times you want to prepare your heart to be ready to deal with these situations.
You will not lose weight. What you want is to produce hormones like testosterone and growth hormone that will create action in your body that will burn to ashes calories and fat even when you sleep. Only fast motions activities will create those hormones in your body.
Steady state endurance exercise does burn fat but only for a couple of hours after workout. So what about all the pizza and other junk food you eat after workout. Burst of exertion exercises will carry on working for you and burn fat and calories for up to 48 hours after your workout, that is why you burn fat even when you sleep.
Fast bursts are fun. Seriously - put your hand on your heart, look me in the eyes and tell me that you really enjoy those brainless boring jogs on a treadmill in the gym or cycling or any other steady state endurance cardio you do in the gym. I have never heard anybody who actually enjoys them. Now lets look at sprints you can do in the park, playing soccer, basketball, racquetball, tennis, combining a few fast motion body weight exercises that you can actually do at home, and there many more options of those bursts of exertion type exercises which are much more healthy cardio for you than your current gym work.
Truth About Abs offers all that and way way more.
