I love reading some of the so called health pages on various news websites, and it becomes clear what propagates ineffective methods of fat loss and weight control. This article at the BBC health webpage gets my juices flowing because as with many articles/studies/papers/reviews etc etc in relation to fat loss, they bear little resemblance to the real world.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7530345.stm - Hour’s exercise to lose weight.
The article states that women should be exercising 5 times a week for at least an hour to lose weight and keep it off.
Sounds like a hell of a lot of training!
Obviously these guys have never heard of interval training where 25 minutes of total workout time can produce a much greater fat burning effect.
They have probably never heard of doing resistance based routines as well, not lasting more than 40 minutes, to boost your metabolism creating a much more sustainable body shape and better structural health too.
Combine the 2 together 3 times a week and you’ll be still out the gym before these guys!
In the real world getting the most out of training is not about time spent in the gym, but more the effectiveness of the routines you perform.
In the real world myself and other top quality fitness professionals from around the globe get amazing results from short intensive routines.
In the real world we don’t have time to waste hour upon hour doing “moderate” exercise
In the real world we are never going to maintain that level of training for the rest of our lives.
Get Real BBC, University of Pittsburg, Professor Paul Gately! Start studying how real results are obtained!
Tim climbs gently off soapbox :o)
