FAT LOSS:
The Truth on Fat Loss and how to Achieve it!

By Mandy Gibbons

To maximise your potential to burn off calories much more efficiently include weight / resistance training AND cardio into your program. (click here to view the full article)

I've included some examples below of training routines to give you an idea of a typical program to help combat body fat. For those of you who are genetically gifted with lean muscle and a higher metabolism OR who aren't too keen on getting lean then as low as two cardio sessions per week can be ample.

Beginners:

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Full Body Workout Cardio Full Body Workout Cardio Full Body Workout Cardio OFF
If your metabolism is slow then you will probably need to add an extra day or two of cardio per week.
Around 4-5 cardio sessions per week.

Intermediate:

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Split Routine Cardio Split Routine Cardio Split Routine Cardio OFF
A sluggish metabolism will require around 5 days of cardio per week.

More advanced:

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Upper Body Lower Body Cardio Upper Body Lower Body Cardio OFF
If you're trying to maintain your fat loss then 5 days a week of cardio will more than likely be necessary. If you have a special occassion coming up perform 6 cardio sessions per week.
 

Vary the time of your cardio sessions from 30 mins through to 50 mins - depending on your fitness and the intensity of your workout. Don't go getting yourself caught up in the mindset of thinking that you have to perform two hours of cardio each workout - because you don't. Just keep your body guessing by changing the format of your cardio routines so you and your body don't become bored. And if you hit a plateau that's ok, in fact it's great, because it's your body telling you need a change.

If you're short on time and want to perform extra cardio sessions on a weight training day then seperate the two eg... cardio in the morning and weight training at night etc.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Happy Training!
