How to burn fat without cardio or dieting

I hate cardio.

I hate treadmills, stationary bikes, and elliptical machines. I hate exercising for hours at a time, just to burn a few calories.

Fortunately, I recently discovered a way to burn NINE TIMES more fat without wasting time on the treadmill.

Oh, and best of all, I didn’t have to go on a diet or restrict my eating anyway.

This is what this is all about:

Scientists in Japan have now confirmed what you knew all along: Simply put, you burn more fat with vigorous exercise than when you “dog” it.

Unfortunately, all the “weight loss experts” told us that the only way to burn fat was to exercise at a steady pace for 45 to 60 minutes at a time. Gross! 60 minutes we have a treadmill, watching CNN? No thanks.

I decided to try the routine that scientists developed in Japan, one commonly known as high-intensity interval training.

This is what happened:

Instead of huffing and puffing on a treadmill for an hour every day, I cut my workout time to just FOUR MINUTES. No, that is not a misprint. I exercised for only 240 seconds.

In four weeks, I was in the best shape of my life. My heart and lungs were stronger than ever. My body fat levels dropped to single digits and my abs (which had been hidden under a layer of fat for quite some time) came into view.

How could you make such a dramatic transformation in just 4 minutes a day? Well, the high intensity interval training routine actually burns more calories in 4 minutes than exercising the traditional way for an hour or more.

Here’s the science: When you perform traditional cardio, your metabolism increases as you exercise. But as soon as you stop exercising, your metabolism drops back to normal levels.

But when you do a high-intensity interval training, you don’t burn a lot of calories during your four-minute workout. But your metabolism remains elevated for 24 to 48 hours after your workout! So you burn calories and fat throughout the day.

How to jump-start your metabolism and blow away body fat

If you’re ready to finally burn off that stubborn body fat, you might want to try high-intensity interval training (assuming your doctor says it’s okay).

Instead of walking on a treadmill for 60 minutes at the same pace, try alternating speeds every minute. This forces your body to constantly adapt and you will burn more calories.

Then increase your speed and reduce your training time. You don’t need to waste 60 minutes a day when you learn to push yourself.

Finally, stay on. High-intensity interval training isn’t easy … but results come fast. Don’t be surprised if you end up in the best shape of your life.
