The Cardio Question
by Ryan Betzina
function. Amidst all of these good reasons to do
cardio work, the biggest reason for most people is to
lose fat. How much should you do though?
If you are a beginner, or if you just haven't done
any cardio activities for a few months, you
should limit your first few sessions to only 10-15 min.
After you've done it for a few weeks and have built up
some endurance, you should increase your cardio
sessions to 20-60 min. You begin to burn more fat
than carbohydrates after 20 minutes. Because of this,
shorter cardio sessions are best for maintaining your
current weight, while longer sessions are best for losing
weight.
If you just want to maintain your current weight then
60-90 minutes PER WEEK will usually be adequate. How
you choose to split that time up during the week is your
choice and depends on your level of endurance.
If your goal is to burn as much bodyfat as you can,
2-5 hours of cardio PER WEEK will be sufficient.
Your sessions should be 40-60 minutes in length.
The best time to do your cardio sessions
for maximum fat loss is right away in the morning before
you eat anything. After you've been asleep for 6-8 hours,
the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood is very low and your
body will use stored fat as an alternative energy source.
If you are consistent with your cardio workouts and
can incorporate them into your life, you will see results!
