Once again it is proven - Long duration exercise is bad for your health, increases your body's need to store fat, and increases your chances of heart disease.A newly released study from Mayo Clinic, with six thousand middle aged women involved in the study. The results: People doing long duration exercise to lose weight and stay in shape may be able to lose pounds and get themselves into the correct BMI chart ratio, but their body fat percentage was actually going up.This study backs up a earlier Harvard Study which proved high intensity exercise was 15X more effective at reducing fat than long duration exercise. A case in point; one of my clients, a 50 yr old lady 5' 8' 145 pounds had lost 35 pounds by running about 6 miles per day religiously for 8 months. She appeared super, and she was now well within normal for the Body Mass Index. However she was dumbfounded at her physical when they calculated her body fat and she measured 36% body fat. Oh and one more thing her lung capacity was only 70% of what normal would be for a woman of her age. She was an avid runner and looked fit, but she was on a fast track to heart disease. How could this be? She took 1 hour of her day for almost a year to make herself less healthy.How could she lose all that weight and still have roughly the same amount of body fat? Because the long duration exercise was telling her body she needed the fat to be ready for the type of exercise she was doing. As a result she lost muscle weight and water weight, not fat. Please understand aerobic style exercise actually causes your body to store fat, not lose it.That is not the worst news:When you exercise with long duration or aerobic exercise exclusively and do happen to lose pounds, it is weight you will easily gain back. And to make matters worse, you did not eliminate any fat cells the first time so now you just added more pounds of fat to your body. All you did was shrink your fat cells, which means they are still there waiting to re-appear with full vengeance. Yo-YoThis is the heartbreaking cycle so many men & women get into when trying to lose weight. Normally called Yo-Yo dieting or roller coaster dieting. You lose weight only to put it all back on and then some. Your Solution:Just like the client above when she heard the news about her body fat content she came to me to understand why. I told her, "It is simple you need to exercise to burn and eliminate fat."". Now she already had a decent diet, I did tell her to forget about the low fat and fat free crap, and include more metabolism boosting foods instead. I gave her the list from the Doctor Directed Weight Loss Program.We instructed her to select 3 of the exercises from the Doctor Directed Weight Loss Program list, to concentrate on speed and not duration, and plan on about 12 minutes per day. After her first session she called me, and said "she couldn't believe how short of breath she was, her lungs actually hurt and she never felt that even when running 6 miles per day." Now she did push herself more than needed, but that is the point long duration exercise teaches that you only push yourself to about 50 or 60% of capacity which your body then registers as that is all you need. This results in your lungs and heart actually shrink in size. Not a good thing.To burn and eliminate fat you need to think high intensity. Your goal is not to burn fat during exercise it is to boost your metabolism so you burn fat 24 hours a day. Done correctly your time needed is about 7-10 minutes per day.Results: Within 4 weeks this client had lost 9 more pounds - but her body fat content was down to only 20%. To do the math she actually gained muscle, toned up her body, and lost fat - She lost 24 pounds of FAT, and actually gained 15 pounds of muscle. After 5 weeks she was a fit 131 pound sexy lady with peace that her weight would not come back on. She was now in control! DoctorWeightLossProgram.com
