Fat Loss Mistake Number 2 - Cardio
DOING HOURS & HOURS CARDIO
I know, I know
Everyone’s favourite, isn’t it
Well, you might be pleased to know that the mistake made is going to change your opinion…
Mistake number 2 is…
DOING HOURS & HOURS CARDIO
Combined with the first point (see previous post), this is a very commonly seen approach that will really harm your progress, especially if you have any desire to maintain/build muscle mass!
And again, I understand why you might be thinking it’s the way to do things
You may well have heard this phrase before…
‘Eat Less, Move More’
And logic says the less you eat, and the more you move, the faster things will happen
I know, it’s like I can read your mind, isn’t it?
Cardio is a great tool to have in the bag when needed to increase the energy out side of the equation
However
In a similar way to reducing food too quickly
If you go hell-for-leather on your cardio from the get-go, doing hour & hours every day
You give yourself no room to increase it as you go
And that sense of stuck returns again
Assuming you have goals to maximise muscle mass alongside getting lean
You absolutely must prioritise your weight training – it will ensure you keep & build muscle while losing body fat
Never sacrifice that weight training for cardio
Only bring in cardio, in increments, as needed to keep the fat loss going
That means you don’t need to be spending hours on the treadmill everyday 😉
I told you you’d like the outcome of this one!
