Aerobic Exercise – The ONLY 2 Times You Should Do It
Aerobics (long, steady state sub-maximal cardio) aren't great for a lot of health or fat loss related benefits. I've already done a post on why aerobic's ineffective for fat loss. Also I went into the health benefits of interval training contrary to steady-state aerobics in my interval training for fat loss article.
But I have to admit aerobic exercise has its place. It can be a useful tool in eliminating stubborn body fat in the areas guys get it most (the abs) and women (butt, hips and thighs) But only if you do it on one of these two occasions (and I'll explain why too!):
Time No. 1 You Have To Do Aerobics: After Interval Workout
To start with, let's look at what intervals and aerobics do in your body
Steady state go after heart rate cardio (aerobics). Utilizes fat for energy, but the problem is it takes a long time to exercise for the body to start making use of fat as energy for this kind of cardio.
Extreme intensity interval training. Burns glycogen and sends out fatty acids into the blood stream, but it doesn't use those fatty acids for energy, which means they get redeposited into the fat cells.
Here's how you obtain the both of best worlds:
1. Execute your 12 minutes or less of interval training
2. Hang about 5 minutes
3. Do 20 (maximum 30) minutes of steady state cardio (aerobics)
When you execute it this way, the HIIT followed by 5 minutes rest guarantees a large release of fatty acids into the blood stream, which means you're assured to be burning fat as energy when you do your aerobics! Neat huh?
Time No. 2 You Have To Do Aerobics: After Lifting Weights
Intense weight lifting is very similar to Hight Intensity Interval Training in the effects that it has on your body, the fuel it uses, etc. So the only other time you should do aerobic cardio is after your weight lifting.
I advise 20-30 mins of low-medium concentration steady state cardio after weight lifting.
Why You Should Know This
CNS overload: If you're lifting weightily, concentrating on strength, doing low reps with heavy weights 3x per week, you're working your central nervous system to improve your strength (for the most part). Interval training on your "off" days may be a burden for some people, steady state aerobics after weights is a good alternative if that's you.
Stubborn fat: If you're already around 10-12% body fat (guys) or 15-17% bf (women) and you need to get SUPER ripped, then you should employ the HIIT followed with aerobics in this case. It will help strip away those last stubborn pounds.
Energy boosting legal steriods
Many people these days are taking legal steroids to enhance muscle building. Many forms of legal steroids are available such as androstenedione or andro, 4-andro, 1-test, and 1-AD. These are a great way to boost energy, and strength, plus aid in muscle recovery. They should always be used as advised, in a limited way.
Androstenedione was the first legal steroid to be promted and used by body builders. It was also used by East German athelets to improve their performance and was known as prohormone. Today, body builders rely on this steroid.
The legal steroids come under the category of artificial steroids that are euphemistically termed as anabolic steroids. These anabolic steroids help in aggravating the protein synthesis system in the human body. These steroids could be taken for building your cellular tissues to support the strength of the muscles. Actually, the steroids start exerting their anabolic effect, after enzyme conversion in the liver when you take the steroids.
A legal steroid is determined by the way it will be used. Often they are prescribed for medicinal purposes and you will find whre physicians have prescribed them for their patients. Steroid use by athletes is usually illegal as it caused the body to gain mass very quickly giving them an unfair advantage over other athletes.
Be careful not to take an overdose of any legal steroid as this will have serious side effects. Be careful! The overuse of steriods carries serious consequences. You will be creating numerous health problems by using more than the prescribed dose. Over using steroids will raise the bad cholesterol in your blood, blood pressure increases, and the heart and liver can sustain damage.
That is the reason, why they are prescribed to be consumed in restricted amounts. The legality of the legal steroids differs in different states. There are states where the authorities maintain a strict control on the possession or sale of steroids. In some nations, the steroids are listed in the category of controlled substances. Any case of possessing them without any prescription is considered punishable by law. Even the international sports association has imposed a ban on the use of steroids by the sports person. But some of them have been kept outside the bounds of illegality.
Some of the legal steroids available are mesobolin, dianabol, and tridenosen and they do not affect the hormones directly. Tridenosen can help the growth of testosterone, and growth hormones. It can be called a good steroid as it is thermogenic, anabolic and increases the blood movement to the skeletal system.
The status of legal steroids and illegal steroids is determined by the purpose they are being used for. The side effects of both legal and illegal steroids are inevitable. Don't fall prey to manufacturer's publicity that tries to lure you in as a consumer. Research for yourself and consult your physician before taking any of them.
