Has your trainer told you this...part:II


The shake-up of current BS of fitness, crushing the myths and lore
...giving you the info so YOU can start enjoying results in rapid fashion and OPTIMIZE!

1. The most arcane & insane is: What the so-called experts try and tell you about Fat-Burning, and the elusive "fat-burning" zone that all the Manufacturers of treadmills, steppers etc... have programmed into their machines.

Let's call out the Bullshit...
... Which you know anyway, because YOU, or anyone who does it is no different to when they started!!!
Yeah! Get over the deceipt and lies, and get some “YEAH” (meaning shouts of “yeah’ I’ve achieved!)

Here's some more evidence that highlights the conspiracy of ‘fat-burning’ zones and ‘cardio’ workouts.
PS. Burning fat – tells your body that fat is a valuable fuel-source, so makes your body actually store fat – as it quite obviously thinks it clever to store the ‘valuable fuel source’
And cardio! Well that’s just heart-rate response to moving your muscles. The more muscles that move, and the bigger the range they move in – the higher your heart-rate response!

Irving et al.
Effect of exercise training intensity on abdominal visceral fat and body composition.
Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2008 Nov;40(11):1863-72.
a.) Group A - No exercise
b.) Group B - Low intensity 60 mins, 5 x week
c.) Group C - High Intensity, 20 mins, 3 x week

Group A and B = NO change
Gp C = significant reduction in FAT

Basically the only way you should exercise is short, intermittent and with intensity. Just like at the start of mankind (and just like we’re designed!)
IF you want to exercise for hours – fine! Just remember it’s a ‘leisure activity you’ve chosen’ – it’s not efficient training
You have a biological ceiling
the ground-breaking study by Calabrese & Baldwin and published in the Journal: “Human and Experimental Toxicology 21:91-91” in 2002.  was further empowered by a potent article in the world- famous J.Physiol. 2008;586;1-2, titled, “Specificity of Training Adaptation:

“The Long-held view that the training response/adaptation is directly linked to the volume of exercise undertaken is wrong. There is obviously a threshold volume/duration beyond which additional stimuli do not induce further response and work capacity you have a – ‘Biological Ceiling’
