Frequent Aerobic Workouts – Double Fat Loss

How would you like to learn a way to double your fat loss in the next seven days? It's really quite simple and the “frequent aerobic workouts” is the answer. To burn more fat you have to burn more calories. Most beginners start off with three days a week of cardio training. Usually they see good results initially because their bodies aren't accustomed to exercise and any increase in activity above no activity will always produce some results.

More often than not, the results begin to slow down a bit within a few months of training. Then they scratch their heads and wonder why it's not working anymore.

This is why: Because three days a week is for beginners, health, or maintenance. If you want twice as much fat loss and you want it twice as fast, double your aerobic workout.

Suppose you burn 400 calories per workout for three workouts per week. That's a total of 1200 calories per week burned. If you doubled that to six days per week at 400 calories per workout, you would burn 2400 calories. YOU JUST DOUBLED YOUR FAT LOSS EVERY WEEK! That was a real no-brainer, wasn't it?
While we're on the subject of burning more calories, what would happen if, in addition to increasing your cardio from three to six days per week, you increased the intensity so you were burning 600 calories per workout? With six workouts at 600 calories per workout you'd be up to 3600 calories per week….

YOU JUST TRIPLED YOUR FAT LOSS!

Yes it's that simple.

By the way, this kind of cardio training is how bodybuilders reach 3 - 4% body fat for competitions: They do approximately six days per week of intense cardio, 45 minutes per session. Let me wrap up the topic of frequent aerobic workout this way: If I were overweight and I knew what I now know about fat loss, I would be doing cardio every day, possibly even twice a day, and seven days a week until I was happy with my weight. Then and only then would I cut back to three days a week for maintenance.

Recommended Guidelines for Aerobic Workout Frequency

Here are the frequency guidelines I recommend for your cardio workouts:
When your goal is maximum fat loss: 5-7 days per week
When your goal is maintenance, health & cardiovascular conditioning 3-4 days per week
