The Spartacus Workout And Circuit Training: Is This Good For Cardio?
By Tom Venuto
Every time a movie or TV series full of buff bods hits the screen, it seems some enterprising trainer releases a workout program in its namesake. The 300 workout was an internet sensation, with the trainer's behind it claiming it was responsible for all those six pack abs and rippling muscles you saw on the big screen. More recently, the Spartacus workout has been making it's rounds. The question is - are these "Hollywood workouts" really effective or just the latest fitness gimmick... and if they are good, how should you fit them into your training regime - as cardio or resistance training? . . .

Why Cardio Doesn't Work For Some People, Part 2: A NEAT Explanation
By Tom Venuto
Exercise is an important part of any fat loss program because it helps you increase your total number of calories burned and easily achieve the calorie deficit you need to burn fat. However, some studies have paradoxically shown that adding exercise on top of diet doesn't increase weight loss much more than the diet alone. That prompted some people to say, "don't bother with exercise - just diet." That's bad advice and a new study from the University of Queensland found a NEAT explanation why... . . .

A New Model for Practical and Effective Interval Training: All-Out Sprints vs Hard Intervals
By Tom Venuto
High intensity interval training (HIIT), has become immensely popular in the last decade. HIIT involves alternating brief bursts of very high intensity exercise (work intervals) with brief segments of lower intensity exercise (recovery intervals). One problem with some types of HIIT is that they call for extremely intense bursts - literally all out sprints - that are not practical for everyone, and possibly not even safe for some individuals. A new study out of McMaster University has tested a protocol for HIIT that produces impressive results in a short period of time without the need for all-out exertion…... . . .

The Truth About High-Intensity Interval Training: Does HIIT REALLY Burn 9X More Fat?
Tom Venuto
High Intensity Interval Training, (HIIT), has been promoted as one of the most effective training methods ever to come down the pike, both for fat loss and for cardiovascular fitness. One of the most popular claims for HIIT is that it burns "9 times more fat" than conventional (steady state) cardio. This figure was taken from a study performed by Angelo Tremblay at Laval University in 1994. But what if I told you that HIIT has never been proven 9 times more effective than regular cardio… What if I told you that the same study actually shows that HIIT is 5 times less effective than steady state cardio? Read on and see the proof for yourself. . . .

Is Yoga a Good Fat-Burning Cardio Workout?
By Tom Venuto
Yoga has become immensely popular in the last decade and many people consider it a kick butt workout, not to mention the great stretch you get and the relaxation afterward. In Bikram yoga, the room is heated to 100 F, and fans say the class is especially intense. Bikram, the founder, claims that you burn about 700 calories per class. But what does the research say?

Will You Burn More Fat if You Do Cardio Right After Weight Training?
By Tom Venuto
QUESTION: What should I do first, cardio or weights? The reason I ask is because I heard that high intensity weight training burns more carbs while low intensity burns more fat. So I was wondering, wouldn't you deplete the glycogen (carbs) from doing the weight training first, allowing you to burn more fat during the low intensity cardio afterwards? . . .

Cardio Adaptation is Not the Enemy
By Brian Nordberg
Some people argue against cardio because they believe your body will eventually adapt, and as it does, the cardio becomes less and less effective, so "why bother?" they claim. However, this is an almost completely faulty argument on more than one level. In this article, special guest author Brian Nordberg, who used plenty of cardio as well as weight training to shed 122 lbs of fat, explains what cardio adaptation really means, and why it's not the enemy after all... . . .

Why cardio doesn't work for some people… New study uncovers the answer!
By Tom Venuto
"Exercise is not effective for weight loss." "Cardio is a waste of time." "You must be cardio-resistant." "Aerobics makes you fat." What do these four statements, each one made by prominent book authors, scientists or personal trainers, have in common? Aside from the fact that they're all flat-out wrong, they are all alike because they completely miss or ignore the real reason why aerobics or cardio doesn't work for some people… A new study from the University of Leeds in the UK has found a definitive answer... . . .

Steve Wiebusch
The support here is incredible for my morale. I'm excited about the inches I've lost. In the past when I'd get halfway there, I'd lose motivation and quit. I've never made it this far and still felt motivated to keep going. "
Rikki Fougere
"I have many people everyday ask me what my secret is and how I lost 137 pounds. I tell them the same thing - I use Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat - Feed The Muscle program and it all boils down to "How bad do you want it?"
Mike Ogorek
"I've been following the Burn The Fat recommendations and I now fit into a pair of jeans that I havent worn in a long time. The Salvation Army must love me these days, as I've liberated 12 clothes hangers and two shelves of oversized clothes since New Years!"
