Cardio Enthusiasts: Discover a More Effective Training Method for Fat Loss and Heart Health!

Most people falsely believe that moderate intensity cardio training is the best way to lose body fat and improve your heart health. I disagree! Moderate intensity cardio not only increases catabolic hormone production, and breaks down muscle tissue, which leads to a lowered metabolic rate, but also does not train the heart to handle everyday stress and the associated rapid increase in blood pressure and heart rate. On the contrary, highly variable cyclic training and anaerobic training maintains muscle tissue, increases metabolic rate, and teaches the heart to handle stress. This creates a much leaner and healthier body.
