Another Reason to do High Intensity Training
Another exercise study completed by Tremblay A, Simoneau JA & Bouchard C at Laval University in Ste-Foy, Quebec. In this study they took 2 groups, one with a 20-week endurance (low to moderate) workout and the other group with a 15-week high intensity-intermittent workout. They found that the group that worked out for a shorter period of time at the higher intensity-intermittent training lost more body fat.
It’s time to ditch the lower intensity exercises if you don’t have a lot of time to spare and you want results. That means walking doesn’t count as an exercise and neither does a low-intensity elliptical training session. Unless you have a lot of extra time on your hands and don’t want to reduce your fat levels. It is time to start re-examining your workout and the results you want.
If you want to reduce fat & increase your metabolism, the choice is clear high-intensity intermittent workouts, paired with metabolic-resistance training and some other activities, like a yoga class to keep you limber is the way to go.
