Cardio Does Not Burn That Much Fat!

The factor we are going to consider here is if cardio burns a significant amount of calories, hence lose weight / burn fat, while performing the aerobic activity.


Well, obviously, any activity you perform, whether it’s cardio, lifting, mowing the lawn, etc., requires the body to burn calories for fuel and energy.


So, yes, cardio burns calories / fat / weight.


However, what we want to know is if the amount of calories that cardio burns is significant, if it even makes an impact or dent on weight loss.

Genetics Is Not Your Muscle Weight Gain Enemy

Genetics is very important in determining exactly how to gain weight and at what rate. It plays a
major role in getting the everything out of your bodybuilding workout
routine.


On that note, I’m having a serious issue lately seeing too many
bodybuilders blaming genetics for their lack of progress.


The moment an individual starts to mention that he / she can’t seem
to build muscle no matter how intense or long they weight train instantly the
lack of having “bodybuilding” genetics is to
blame.

Cardio & Your Metabolism: Will It Help You Lose Weight?

Does cardio significantly raise the body s metabolic rate ?


First off, the metabolic rate, in very simple terms, is basically the rate / speed and amount of calories that your body will burn, whether doing something or at rest.


So, in other words, someone that has a hard time losing weight more than likely has a very slow metabolic rate…since their body burns a low amount of calories and very slowly.


Now, why is it so importante to have a high / fast metobolic rate?

To Lose Weight & Burn Fat - Shakes or Whole Foods?

After many years of spending hundreds, and even thousands, of dollars, after getting sick on them, and after seeing no kind of results in the form of weight loss / fat burn from them, many have finally realized that they are WORTHLESS.


Yet, many are still confused if the supplements that are sold as “Meal Replacements”, “Weight Gainers”, “natural supplements”, and “amino acids” have some good use in substituting for some whole foods to help speed up their goals to lose weight and burn off body fat.

Raise Your Natural Hormones To Build Muscle Mass

Quick question: What’s more important to gain muscle mass, the amount of weight you lift or the amount of natural anabolic hormones your body releases in response to muscular stress (as is the case when performing a set)?


The answer to that question is very important, since it can make the difference between a successful workout program and a bodybuilding routine that keeps you looking the same year after year.


Some feel that as long as you continue to lift heavier and heavier weight, you are going to build muscle mass fast.
