New Research Shows Why You Must Avoid Cardio
By Craig Ballantyne, CTT

10 years ago people called me crazy for warning against the
dangers of excessive cardio. It doesn't work, I said, and
you'll get overuse injuries that can ruin your life.
Well, today, not only am I no longer a lone voice in the
wilderness, but major newspapers - like Tuesday's Wall Street
Journal - are reporting on studies that show excessive cardio
harms the heart.
According to the WSJ, "Running 20-25 miles or more per week
eliminates the benefit of exercise as you grow older and
causes excessive wear-and-tear on the heart."
Of course, exercise ADDICTS will ignore dispute this information,
and runners will continue to post "I hate Craig Ballantyne"
articles, but the #truth about long slow cardio and running is this...
1) You can get better fat burning results in less time
2) Less exercise = less wear-and-tear on the body, including
your heart, skeletal muscles, and your joints
3) You'll have more time to do other important things if you
aren't out running for 200-250 minutes per week (assuming a
10-minute mile)
Even Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the father of 'aerobics' has said,
"If you are running more than 15 miles a week, you are doing
it for some reason other than health."
So listen, if you want to exercise for fitness, fat loss, and
live a long life full of vitality, there's no better way to
train than with short, burst workouts.
That's why you need the "Burn Fat at Home" System that
includes 31 short burst interval workouts and 15-Minute
Metabolic Finishers to banish belly fat from the holidays.
