Why Cardio Does Not Work In Me?

Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up.

After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others. British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren’t previously exercising.

The subjects exercised for 12 weeks, 5 times per week. That’s a lot of exercise and it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, but it worked better in young men, who need the help the least!

If we analyse the results we’ll find some surprises. The best subject lost 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, but the worst subject actually gained 3.74 pounds. That’s an immense variance in fat loss erms.

So, these were not good news for the scientists. At least not for the ones that wanted to go home. They discovered there were 2 groups of people, they called them “compensators” and “non-compensators”. The first ones were hungrier and consumed extra calories every day, whipping the slate clean in cardio results terms. So, they lost just small amounts of weight.

You have to check your appetite and calorie intake to see if you are “compensating” for your efforts. If you want to eat more than nothing after your cardio training, then maybe you are in the compensators group and need an special cardio program designed to your needs. It may be better for you to use it’s better for you to use a program of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence Training ) for your weight loss efforts.

As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research, interval training increases hormones called catecholamines. And increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-burning benefits.

In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds with aerobic exercise.

Well, first of all, you have to check your appetite and know a little more about your condition. There’s a lot for you to do to get the look you want (or need, for medical reasons). Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity turbulence training /p>
