I find it shocking that so many well-meaning folks are still exercising with such outdated notions of what constitutes an effective workout.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want that to be you.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top 3 outdated, time-burning exercise techniques to NOT DO:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Slow and Steady Cardio Sessions: <\/strong>Walk into most gyms and you&#8217;ll see every single piece of cardio equipment full of people in a slow, steady state of cardio. Meanwhile the free weight area is a ghost town. The idea that one should toil for hours in a steady state of low-intensity cardio in order to burn fat is the ULTIMATE outdated exercise technique. New science has clearly proven that explosions of speed and intensity are the future of fat burn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Weight Machine Wandering: <\/strong>You&#8217;ve seen this character. He wanders among the weight machines, plops down on an open one and cranks out a set (without adjusting the weight or seat) and just as quickly as he came, he&#8217;s gone off to the next open machine. There&#8217;s no rhyme or reason, and his technique and form are way off due to his careless use of the machines. Do I even need to explain how this haphazard exercise technique burns more time than fat? I didn&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Chronic Low Intensity: <\/strong>When you simply go through the motions during your workout, that&#8217;s classic low-intensity. You&#8217;re not pushing yourself with challenging weight, you&#8217;re not trying to go faster, and you&#8217;re not really breaking a sweat. Oh and, big surprise, you&#8217;re also not burning any fat. Each workout should be a challenge to go harder than the day before. If you find yourself just-going-through-the-motions then quickly pick up the pace.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the secret to burning fat?<\/p>\n<p>A challenging routine that incorporates strength training, intervals of intense cardio and is done with intensity. Sound complicated?<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t have to be. I&#8217;m here to provide you with the most cutting-edge workouts that deliver results while burning fat.<\/p>\n<p>You deserve that fit and attractive body &#8211; I&#8217;m here to help you get it.<\/p>\n<p>Call or email today to get started.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Companion Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"You Get Out What You Put In\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tymorbootcamp.com\/blog\/407\/you-get-out-what-you-put-in\/\"><strong>You Get Out What You Put In<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Easy Turkey Meatloaf\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tymorbootcamp.com\/blog\/404\/easy-turkey-meatloaf\/\"><strong>Easy Turkey Meatloaf<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered if those minutes you spend in the gym are burning fat or just time?
