Aerobic exercise equals fat loss, and fat loss equals belly fat loss.
Aerobic exercise is definitely a part of your fitness solution but could also be a part of the problem if not done correctly. Jumpin Jeff is here to answer your most asked questions.
We all know that aerobic exercise (or cardiovascular exercise) is an activity you do for a long time. You actually have to continue until the body has used up its supplies of oxygen and is successfully making more of it. It is true that by doing cardio we can burn fat off our bodies. Remember that too much cardio (more than an hour a day) will likely burn off the tone you work so hard for. Consider also, that in all studies it is shown that a combination of cardio and resistance training is more effective at taking off pounds and inches than cardio alone. So the challenge is to do the right amount of aerobic exercise (cardio) at the right time. Let's get to the point:
When is the best time to burn belly fat with Aerobic Exercise
Best time to do cardio : In the early morning and then wait an hour before eating a complete meal. This method allows your body the whole day to work with the positive shift in metabolism and energy that will be produced by the activity. You didn’t think that exercise makes you tired, did you? On the contrary. Your energy and hormones and everything starts to fire up with any kind of exercise. So we’ve got that going for us. Do not do cardio before bed, before resistance work (5 minutes OK) and before a meal.
Best cardio theory: I teach four different cardio schemes, but the most important and beneficial for the most variety of goals and body types is “ Ascending Interval Cardio”. Simply stated, you burn the most fat in the least amount of time by changing speeds. My clients do 7 speed changes in 21 minutes and they are done for the day. How about that for quick and effective. Start with 3 minutes of light intensity and then 3 minutes with greater intensity and repeat this low and high combination for 21 minutes. You will have 7 total changes in 21 minutes if you start and end with a low intensity. It looks like this: low/high low/higher low/higher yet and low. I am not talking about speed here. I only care how you feel, not how fast you are going. You can make these high intervals extremely intense, but not at first. This wonderfully simple method will burn fat for up to 8 hours after the event is over, so do it in the morning if possible. And once again, controlled cardio equals belly fat loss, and fat loss all over your body for that matter.
