Important research has been published demonstrating the ineffectiveness of aerobics for fat loss. The test group had females work for almost four months doing cardio and they all failed to reduce their mass at all. These stunning results shocked some professionals, but they only confirmed again what I already knew. To compound the surprise, a second group of ladies did fat burning intervals and they too surprised the experts, but not me.

The second group lost lots of body fat and they only worked out half the time as the aerobic group. Also, the interval group had a demonstrable belly fat reduction that the other group did not have.

The difference was so clear that some researchers are calling intervals the way to target abdominal fat. One professor who was interviewed said that the intermittent-intensity of the exercise emphasized the elimination of abdominal fat.

That is to say that you don’t have to mess with crunches and situps or any of the trendy gizmos for abs.

The news is awesome for all those wanting to get a flat stomach without all that unproductive time spent doing cardio. You now know how to go about getting that six pack you’ve always wanted but couldn’t get because you were doing ccardio.

If you want to lose belly flab, you’re going to have to do interval exercises that alternate levels of intensity.

We in North America have been aware of this a lot longer than experts in other countries, but it’s good to have some additional confirmation that we are right. In fact, we also know that cardio causes a lot of over use injuries that make it even harder to stay in shape: cardio is counter productive.

The intensity of intervals is harder, but you get done in less time. So there’s really no reason to give it a try.
