Three Weight Loss Workout Mistakes to Avoid Like the Plague

By Matt Taylor

If you are reading this article... chances are you are frustrated with the lack of progress with your weight loss workout. You may also be upset that your workout program is taking a very long time in the gym or on the road.

Now... understand this... I really believe you ARE working hard... what you are not doing is working smart.

There is a difference and it truly drives me crazy to see so much effort and energy put into the workout routines with very little results to show for it.

And then of course... you get extremely frustrated and quit on it saying, "it doesn't work and I'm going to go back to my old habits and resign to my fate."

Au contraire I would say!

Not so fast... I think if you implement my advice to your workouts... you will see improvement!

My best advice for weight loss workout routines:

one) Increase the intensity of your workouts rather than do those long and boring cardio exercises which quite frankly don't cut it when you want to lose weight. And don't do those high repetition weight training. Do less with higher weights.

I would also mention that you MUST follow your nutritional plan to get the maximum efforts at the gym. If you use the ol' input/output model... what you put in your body... determines what your body puts out. Put in junk foods and you will most assuredly put out crappy workouts.

two) It bears repeating... throw the cardio workouts in the trash can where it belongs. The proof behind cardio was based on long distance jogging back in the 70s and that study is now questionable. And yes, many people still believe in long distance running and cardio will lose weight... but research has shown the very opposite. Cardio will give you very little benefits on its own. What you need to do is strength training, intense interval workouts and observing proper nutritional advice to lose body fat. And besides... doesn't cardio suck wind big time?

Sure it does! I really, really loathe cardio and aerobic exercises. It is a waste of time. It is inefficient for body fat loss.

three) I would also suggest that you alternate your workout routines. Don't stick with the same old thing each and every week. It's boring. It's unconstitutional and has been banned by 107 countries around the world.

OK. I made that up.

But the truth of the matter is... quit thinking in terms of quantity of workouts and start thinking in terms of quality of workouts. And your body is going to change much, much faster...

You will never be confused about effective fat loss again. Get rid of that orange peel thighs. Wave goodbye to those cottage cheese arms...

Once and for all, fit back into your old "thin" clothes... AND spend more time with the family because you are not wasting it on useless, long and boring cardio exercises...
