Cardio Corner: Increase Fat Loss
Lose bodyfat faster with a consistent weekly cardio schedule
When trying to get lean this summer, you’ll need to be consistent
with your cardio. Many bodybuilders wonder just how much cardio they
need to do to see decent changes in bodyfat. To answer that question,
Texas researchers tested 90 male and female subjects over an eight-week
program, dividing them into groups based on how often they exercised
each week: a control group (no exercise), 30-minute cardio workouts less
than twice a week, two or three times per week, and four or more times
per week. Only the last group lost a decent amount of bodyfat — almost
15 pounds. So to maximize bodyfat loss via cardio, include a minimum of
four days per week, for a minimum of 30 minutes each session.
