Ineffective Exercise Methods That Are Wasting Your Time

The top 6 execise methods that are zapping your time and your results!

Fad diets, fat loss gizmos, and the latest weight loss "breakthroughs". They're invading and they don't seem to be letting up. Worst of all, with all of these conflicting dietary and exercise offerings, America and the world are growing fatter and fatter.

This article is intended to provide clarity, to give people back their common sense. Here, with that in mind, is a review of the top 6 Ineffective Exercise Methods That Will Waste Your Time.

1. Long, Slow Boring Cardio Workouts
Everyday, I see the same people doing the same exercise routine as they did yesterday. They do the same cardio routine and use the same level of low intensity as always. And guess what I see the next day? The exact same body on the same person. No decreas in fat. No muscle tone. No change. Same old workout, same old body. For months and months and probably years on end.

I aplogize if I am describing exactly what you have been doing, but it's way to common for women trying to lose weight. Honestly, I've heard from so many women the long, boring, 2 hours of cardio they do daily, and their frustration from the lack of weight loss results. So what's the answer? Should these women do even more cardio? Absolutely not! That is the worst thing they could do.

Most politically correct trainers would just say, "Keep on going. Keep up your hard work. Doing more cardio in the In fat it will make you fatter!

Stop tring to exercise in a certain heart rate zone if you want to burn fat. Forget about how many calories the treadmill says you've burned. And get away from the exercise machines all together. Say goodbye to long, slow boring cardio forever!

2. Spinning or Aerobics Classes
I know I’m going to step on some toes with this one, but let me tell you that no matter how great you think your spinning or aerobics workout is, I guarantee you it is inefficient for burning body fat.

Spinning and aerobics are great for fun, and overall not horrible for results, but they are way too long! They take up a full hour of your time when you could get your resistance training and interval training done in the same amount of time.

What good are these classes if you really need to strengthen and tone the muscles of your upper body? Well, it's not good at all. Doing a spinning or aerobics calss today simply means that you'll have to come to the gym twice as much each week in order to get the fat burning results you desire.

Don't get me wrong, there are some aspects in a spinning class that do work- the intervals. Interval cardio workouts are guaranteed to help you burn stubborn body fat and tone those trouble areas while still leaving enough time to reap the benefits of resistance training in the same workout.

3. High-Rep, Low-Weight "Toning" Workouts & Other Politically Correct Women's Training Programs.
The old “high reps gets you toned” myth is probably one of the most common misconceptions about fat loss in the industry. Spot reducing doesn’t work. It won’t work for your abs, and it won’t work for your butt or arms.

There are two very important reasons for every women to include resistance trianing in a fat loss program, but it's definitely not because high reps get you toned. Rather, lifting moderately heavy weights for a lower number of reps will help you maintain your lean muscle at the same time as you burn body fat, and it help you burn way more calories during and after training.

Resistance training is not just for men. A study of women showed that when they used heavier weights and lower reps they burned more calories in the hours after training. And that’s the key. You have to put your body into a state of "Metabolic Overdrive" so that your muscles will increase their metabolism. By doing so, you burn stubborn body fat and tons of calories all day long, even while you sleep!

And if the high-reps myth wasn’t enough, I can't believe it when I read a fitness article misleading women that they can get “toned triceps” by lifting soup cans or water bottles. This will never happen! It doesn’t matter how many photos the magazines show you of your favorite exercise instructor doing triceps kickbacks with soup cans in her hand, you will not get her body by doing that type of program. The magazines are lying to you! On the other hand, a properly designed fitness program incorporating bodyweight exercises and moderately heavy weights will help you get sleek, sexy, toned arms. What a load of baloney.

So I want to leave you with this: For women seeking to get lean and lose body fat, you should go efficient exercises - obviously the more muscles used per exercise the better. By doing pushups for example, you can train your triceps, chest, shoulders and abs all at once - literally cutting your workout in half. I don't know of anyone who wouldn't enjoy greater results in less time.

4. Only Doing Isolation Exercises
Cable curls, triceps kickbacks, leg extensions, concentration curls, and wrist curls. These exercises have their place, but too many people rely on these exercises alone to get lean, and toned muscles. If you want to build a cover model body in less than 4 hours per week, you shouldn't just rely on these exercises.

Instead, you need to stick with full-body exercises that allow you to train several muscle groups at once. That’s the only way that you’ll finish your workout in 45 minutes or less, and still be able to improve your body composition. In the Metabolic Overdrive manual, you'll get 16 weeks worth of Time efficient, fat blasting workouts that should you exactly how to lose fat and build lean scuplted muscle without the need to spend hours in the gym.

5. Endless Abs
No matter how much you want to believe it, doing thousands of crunches is not going to take off any inches from your waist or fat from your abs. There are times when I’ve gone to the gym and completed an entire workout in the same amount of time that other women spend on only abdominal exercises. It’s crazy! None of these women are getting greater results than they would be if they used total body movements and made every exercise they perform an abdominal exercise.

The 3 Keys to Abs Are:

6. Workouts Lasting Longer Than 60 Minutes
Let’s take a look at the commone scenario, take a 30-minute weight training machine circuit, add 60-minutes of cardio, include 15 minutes for warm-up, stretching, and cool-down, and put that all together and you have almost 2 hours “robbed” from you each day for your “fat loss” workout.

Now ignoring the fact that these methods don’t even work that well, who has 2 hours to spend in the gym each day? No one, unless you are a professional athlete, a movie star, or a hotel heiress. You live in the real world, where you need real world results in as little time as possible. And that’s why I put together all of the right research and years of personal experience in the gym to create the most efficient and effective fat loss programs possible.

With time efficient workouts, you will be able to lose fat and gain lean, toned muscle in only three to four workouts per week, lasting less than 45 minutes each session. That still gives you time for a shower, a protein shake, and to walk back to the office. Or if you workout at home, you can do after the kids go to bed or before they get up in the morning without sacrificing hours of sleep.

So What Does Work for Fast & Efficient Fat Loss?
To lose fat, you have to do what the average person doesn't do. You have to choose the right total body exercises, exercise at the right intensity, and perform shorter bouts of metabolism-boosting interval training to get results. And if you do this, you’ll not only reach your goals faster, but you’ll cut down on your workout time. Who wouldn't enjoy more time to do what they love to do?

If you take steps that no one else is willing to take, you’ll see astounding changes in weeks. You need a professionally structured plan. But planning a workout takes effort. And going through an effective workout of efficient strength exercises and interval training takes even more effort.

But you get out what you put in. That saying goes for just about anything in life, especially for workouts. So the choice is up to the exercisers in the gym I guess. If they stay in their comfort zone, it will be easier on their body and their mind in the short-term. But over the long-term, they'll probably drop out of the fitness scene as they find they never get the results they want.

Or they can put in the short-term effort, researching the best program for their goals. And with this approach, you get the long-term payoff of success. I invite you to join the path to success. I've put over 5 years of research and thousands and thousands of hours in the gym practicing what I preach in my own workouts and with clients.
