While
the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic exercise is a
great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users know that interval
training is the better way to burn body fat.

Still not convinced?

A recent study published by the North American Association for the Study of
Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60 minutes of aerobic
exercise per day for 6 days per week for an entire year.

Given the amount of exercise, you'd expect weight losses of 20, 30 pounds,
or more, right?

Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female subjects
was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6 pounds of fat
over the year. That's over 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a
measly 6 pounds of blubber. Not time well spent, in my opinion.

So what's the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using
interval training and strength training to get better bodysculpting
results. With intervals, you'll achieve more fat burning results in
less workout time.

The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval
training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline that can challenge you
for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.

If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to safely increase
the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the normal pace for 60-120
seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.

You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary bike, or even an elliptical machine to do intervals.
