This article talks about how to burn 9 times more fat (more than what, it's not very clear).
Fine, it talks about intervals. sort of.
Exercisers who alternated moderate- and high-intensity cardio intervals burned nine times more fat than the moderate-only group in a study at Laval University in Quebec.
But then I get annoyed.
When you're toning, change the number of reps and the amount of weight you use between strength sessions. Doing bicep curls? Try this: One day you do 10 reps with 10-pound weights, and then the next 20 reps with 5-pound weights or whatever weight feels right to you.
I thought the article was about BURNING FAT not "toning"?? I don't care if you're "toning" (I hate that word) or trying to burn fat, stop making bicep curls a central part of your routine. Do pushups and rows and chinups instead. You'll burn more calories with those exercises AND you'll get "toned."
This one takes the cake:
Going two days without working out is enough to cause the size of fat cells to increase by 25 percent, according to research at the University of Missouri at Columbia.
Hmm. I never heard that before so I looked it up. What do ya know. The author fails to mention that this study that she cites was conducted ON FREAKIN' RATS.
If you want workouts that actually BURN calories without wasting time with bicep curls that aren't going to do anything, go to www.LBworkouts.com and find yourself a low cost 4 week workout that fits what you're looking for.

I agree...a lot of the info is biased especially from all the marketing tactics used by companies that are deceptive and plain wrong!
