| Cross Training Burns more
Nelly Fat
A cross-training program integrating vigorous
aerobics and strength-training exercise is your best bet for burning
off belly fat, according to a study published in the May 2003 edition
of the Journal of Anthropological and Applied Human Science. In
the study, researchers from Korea’s Dong-A University split
test subjects among three groups: a non-exercising control group,
an aerobic training group and a combined aerobic and strength-training
group. Results showed that those who did both aerobics and strength
training burned significantly more subcutaneous abdominal fat and
visceral fat (the deeper fat within the abdominal region) than the
aerobics-only exercisers.
What this means to you:
If you’re trying to deflate your
spare tire by simply doing cardio, you’re making a big mistake.
Push some iron, and you’ll see better results faster.
