Cardio Routines That Burns Fat Fast
Ranked #51,486 in Healthy Living, #609,099 overall
Focusing on cardio when you workout is a great way to burn plenty of fat while boosting your endurance levels. Something very few people know however is how inefficient traditional cardio is. This article is going to explain what makes a good cardio routine. The cardio routines you will learn here is far more efficient and will provide better results in less time.
The routine I am going to talk about is called High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT for short. If you spend 20 minutes doing HIIT you will get more out of it than a whole hour of traditional cardio. A significant reason for this is the high levels of fat burning hormones HIIT helps the body create.
Your muscles consist of 3 different fibers:
The First is the Slow Twitch
The Second is the Fast Twitch
The Third is the Super Fast Twitch

You should focus on your super fast twitch muscles if you want to boost the creation of fat burning hormones (HGH). When you undergo HIIT you take advantage of your super fast twitch muscles and your body creates greater levels of these hormones. HIIT can work with almost any cardio you can think of, however when you first start the best cardio to partake in is with a recumbent bike.
This is how you undergo HIIT:
Star off with a warm up for around 4 minute, move at around a speedy walking speed.
After you have warmed up speed up to a quick jog for half a minute.
After 30 seconds push yourself as fast as you can go for 15 seconds.
After this 15 minutes go back to rest mode and move at a fast walk again. Doing all of this equals a single interval. You want to carry out 8 intervals to complete a set. Do not push yourself too hard, limit the amount of HIIT you do to twice a week. Good days to do it are on Tuesday, then take Wednesday off and finish up on Thursday. Many people will ignore this method because it seems so vastly different from the traditional "run for an hour a day", however it is far more effective.
These are the benefits you gain from HIIT over traditional cardio routines:
When you stop traditional cardio your body will stop burning calories, so if you run for an hour you will only burn calories for an hour. However if you implement HIIT your body will keep burning calories for hours after you finish. Another benefit of HIIT is how quickly you improve your endurance and stamina.
With the increased fat burning hormones you will burn fat quickly but also slow the aging process. The ratio speaks for itself, the results you get from an hour of traditional cardio can be mirrored with just 20 minutes of high intensity interval training. Think of it like this, you save yourself 40 minutes of your time! Have you ever watched the Olympics and wondered how all the sprinters have such amazing abs? You may assume it is thanks to endless sit ups and crunches, however this isn't the case, it is all down to their continual sprinting. You feel less hungry when you undertake HIIT. I don't have to remind you that eating less is a big part of losing weight. The best time of the day to do HIIT is in the morning. If you do it before you eat you will burn more fat. If you leave it too late in the day everything you have eaten that day will help power you through the workout thanks to the stored glucose.
However when you just wake up you haven't eaten for a number of hours, upwards of 8. This means your body eats into its stockpiles of stored energy to power you through the workout.
