There is a new thing causing a bit of a stir among us health freaks called Turbulence Training, that claim all those old boring so called experts and doctors are dead wrong. You should NOT do hours and hours of running, pedaling and stepping... or whatever you're told by them to do.
Recently, several new studies have revealed that long, slow and boring cardio workouts actually SABOTAGE your natural ability to burn ugly belly fat. Instead you should do it all relatively fast and in one go... Sounds like a good business plan to me, 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts - so why do endless amounts of cardio and redundant strength training exercises?
In fact, research shows that all those different treadmills, elliptical machines and stairmasters can actually train your body to STORE fat instead of burning it. Other studies again show that cardio not only makes you fatter, it also ages you faster.
In a study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness (Vol. 52(3):255-62), sixty overweight young women were separated in 3 groups. The Turbulence Training group achieved significantly “better results than those in the cardio group.” And they did it in less time and lost 9 times more fat per calorie than the long, slow and boring cardio group!
This actually makes a lot of sense to me, I have often wondered why all those people spend all of their free time in workouts and gyms. Heck, a few I know even go there on their lunch break!
