Cardio is cardio! Make no mistake about it...

Cardio.

Love it or hate it, this is your best friend for pure and simple fat loss. it won't grow you huge muscles, it will just get that fat off your body.

Now don't get me wrong, weights and resistance workouts will also burn cals, and they say the burn you feel a day later is the workout continuing. All this is true, but... cardio is cardio, there is no other way to get around it.

I have seen a fitness video clip in which one of the big burly men says, this is like a cardio workout... NO! Very NO!

If it was like a cardio work out, it would be a cardio workout, long intervals of high cardio vascular exercise.
Jogging,
Running,
Bike riding,
Star jumps,
Swimming,
anything that gets your heart rate up for a long period of time.

Not a quick burst of 10 reps that gets your rate up for a breif moment.

So anyway, where was i?

Oh yeah Cardio is cardio, no way out of it...

End rant...

So don't kid your self when setting up your workout routine, if you want weight loss ad proper cardio to your routine. Don't cheat yourself and say, "My weights workout is like a cardio as well."

one for the gals and for the boyz...(Mario Lopez, he's still got it!)
