Body Types and Fat Loss Part 1<\/b><\/p>\n
Wow! What a response we received as a result of our last article, \u201cFat Loss without Kardio\u201d.<\/b> We heard from a few naysayers who insisted that it is impossible to lose significant amounts of body fat without doing lots of cardio work. But, most people were relieved to know that weight loss doesn\u2019t have to include long, boring sessions on the treadmill or stair-climber. Many people told us that they actually hate to do that kind of cardio work, and, that the results they are striving for are, to say the least, not evident.<\/p>\n
For the people who have not read Fat Loss without Kardio please visit the link \u201cFat loss without Kardio\u201d to get caught up. Just a quick note regarding this article: I stated that rhythmical cardio leads to an increase in the hormone cortisol, which research now links to an increase in abdominal fat. Remember, I am a strength coach who gets paid to train athletes to be faster and stronger, so rhythmical cardio would be detrimental to my athletes. For example, one of the professional football players who started at SST weighing 267 lbs and 21% body fat managed in only 8 WEEKS to weigh in at 276 lbs and had 11.3% body fat! Guess what, he did not do any KARDIO \u2013 just a proper strength training program and his my blueprint nutrition protocol.<\/p>\n
I know what some of you are saying, \u201cYeah, that\u2019s great for an athlete but what about the regular folks who want to lose 10 or 20 pounds?\u201d<\/p>\n
Well, ask the Fit and Lean women who participated in an 8-week class that consisted of a strength-training program with their Biosignature results in hand. Most of them lost 10 to 20lbs and some even lost 25 lbs of body fat! Now what woman wouldn\u2019t want those results? Oh, did I neglect to state that they did NO KARDIO!<\/p>\n
The best way to lose body fat is to increase growth hormone and testosterone. The method we like to use at SST is strength training with short rest period in between.<\/p>\n
Just some quick notes on building muscle:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Every additional pound of muscle burns roughly 50 calories extra per day.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 If one extra pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day X 365 days a year that adds up to 18,250 extra calories burnt per year, which would result in the loss of 5 pounds of body fat! And that\u2019s just for one additional pound of muscle.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Imagine if you gained 5 lbs of lean muscle in one year!! You could burn off 25 lbs of fat in one year!<\/p>\n
\u00b7 This does not take into account the huge caloric expenditure required to put on this muscle.<\/p>\n
