Your Cardio Exercise may not be helping you unless you incorporate a high range of heart rate shifts in your training

Are you a cardio exercise junkie? Everyone seems to think that “cardio” is the best way to get in shape and lose body fat. I’m going to show you with this article why I disagree!
It is quite common to hear fitness pros, doctors, and other health professionals prescribe low to moderate intensity aerobic training (cardio) to people who are trying to prevent heart disease or lose weight. Most often, the recommendations go something like this:
“Perform 30-60 minutes of steady pace cardio 3-5 times/week maintaining your heart rate at a moderate level”
Before you just give in to this popular belief and become the “hamster on the wheel” doing endless hours of boring cardio exercise, I’d like you to consider some recent scientific research that indicates that steady pace endurance cardio exercise may not be all it’s cracked up to be.
If you have ever wasted (I mean spent) any sort of time on a bodybuilding forum than you have seen the countless posts on, “Should I do cardio if I am trying to build muscle?”
The (silly) debate will never end and typically results in you destroying your frame that once had potential by attempting to bulk up but getting fat instead. Look at cardio as a tool to help you get muscular without getting fat and a pot belly at the same time. Bulking up does NOT have to equal getting fat.
Watch the 4 minute gaining muscle and losing fat video below that clearly shows how to incorporate cardio
into a muscle building routine and address this confusion.

The main reason I addressed this issue is because I’m sick and tired of you completely losing your waist line, getting a double chin and gaining weight that only makes you look “bulky” and not ripped and muscular because you listened to someone who told you to not do cardio if you want to build muscle.
Your waist line will thank you for watching this video
