Best Cardio for Busy Moms

Is there a method of doing cardio exercise that is more efficient than doing long, slow cardio exercise? Holly Rigsby of Fit Yummy Mummy addresses this issue for those with little time to exercise - those who need a very efficient fat burning program.

What method of Cardio is Best for YOU?

Steady State, long duration Cardio or High Intensity Intervals?

This is currently a Hot Topic in the forums at ClubFYM
and in turn has in turn raised many questions - but with every
question asked and each concern addressed comes to light new
knowledge that will help YOU make the best decision for a method
that fits YOUR Lifestyle and your fitness goals.

So what's the deal? What method yields the BEST results.

Due to the fact that I work exclusively with Busy Moms - and busy
women for that matter - the most effective and efficient solution
is Intervals when it comes to achieving Fat Loss Results.


Here are just 3 Benefits of Intervals over Steady State Cardio

1) Saves time. Most intervals last about 20 minutes in comparison
to 1 to 2 hours on the treadmill with traditional steady state
cardio - this occurs as many women pay attention to the immediate
feedback of calories burned during the cardio session. However,
true fat loss results are achieved based on calories burned in a 24
hour period - not during one workout session.

2) Stimulates a greater release of growth hormone. Studies have
shown that intense and challenge interval training produces growth
hormone which helps to increase lean muscle mass. Muscle is your
metabolism. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn 24-7.

3) Eliminates Boredom. Interval training can be done with body
weight exercises, machines, medicine balls, bands,free weights, and
of course anything outdoors. - such as hills!


IMPORTANT:
This article isn't to suggest that there are no other possible
solutions. Rather it is to provide moms with the most efficient and
effective solution based on a combination of actual practical
application and clinical research.

"I totally agree that intervals and resistance training works
wonders for busy moms and it changed my life around SO MUCH for the
better I keep pestering everyone around me with it ; )!!!! I'd
finally found a programme that made perfect sense and didn't ask me
to deny everything I'd believed in (ie exercise is healthy,
starving yourself is NOT) and it actually worked even better than
what I'd have ever thought it could!!!!!!!" ~ Alia

the fact that its over so quickly." ~ Dru
