Too Busy To Exercise? Try THIS Instead

Many weight loss and weight management programs often recommend the use of resistance training in order to keep your weight loss in check.

And this may not be bad advice at all – especially if you’re looking to tone and strengthen your muscles along the way!

But there may be a drawback:

Most strength training programs ALONE may not lead to weight loss.

And when you combine strength training and a proper cardio program together – well you just may find yourself at the gym for an hour or more PER DAY!

For some people, spending that much time at the gym may be alright, but for others, finding 2 hours a day – or even an hour, or 15 minutes a day – may be an extremely difficult task.

So what is the BEST exercise for weight loss – for people in a time crunch?

Of course, most people would turn to interval training – a combination of high- and low-intensity exercises – in order lose weight, burn fat, and preserve your muscle stores – in a short period of time.

And you would be correct!

However, a new study shows that ONE form of training – for those in a time crunch – may be more effective than THIS alone or in combination with a strength training program at burning fat and boosting weight loss.

Exercise for Time-Crunched People

Although interval training is still the MOST EFFECTIVE way to burn fat and keep the weight off – some people may not like this form of training.

Even though interval training can be modified to any fitness level – some people may be deterred by injuries, medical problems, or other things that may make them unable to perform interval training the correct way.

So what should they turn to?

Aerobic exercise!

Both resistance training and aerobic training are necessary components to a good, overall weight loss and weight maintenance program - and people in a time crunch will often choose one over the other.

Now what are some of the benefits of each one?

Resistance training involves repetitively lifting a weight (often times heavier than you're accustomed to) to build, tone, and develop your muscles.

And this may lead to an increase in calorie expenditure – due in part – to the development of lean muscle mass.

The main energy source for this type of activity is sugar that is stored in your blood, liver, and muscle tissue in the form of glycogen.

It burns a minimal amount of calories – mainly due to the quick fatigue that can set in due to depletion of energy stores.

Now, aerobic exercise – on the other hand – uses both sugar and fat as an energy source to fuel the workouts – which may last a lot longer until exhaustion unlike resistance training.

It may burn a lot of calories in a shorter period of time (30 to 60 minutes) compared to resistance training or the combination of the two.

And that is precisely what researchers were looking to find out.

They wanted to see which was more effective - strength training, aerobic training, or the combination of the two – at burning fat and leading to better overall weight maintenance after losing weight – especially when time is tight.

What they found may surprise you!

They found that both aerobic training and the combination of the two (resistance and aerobic) were effective at reducing total body weight and fat mass more effectively than just resistance training alone.

And, they also showed that resistance training and the combination of the two were more effective at increasing lean mass when compared to just aerobic training.

But when they looked at the combination – which required DOUBLE the time commitment – they noticed very little difference in body weight reduction compared to aerobic training alone.

But here is the surprise:

When they compared time commitments to overall health benefits, they showed that aerobic training may be the optimal mode of exercise for reducing fat mass and overall body weight.

They did note, however, that resistance training IS needed in order to build lean muscle mass.

What is YOUR Preferred Form?

It is a well-known fact that in order to burn fat, lose weight, and keep it off, you need to do some form of exercise.

Resistance training, cardiovascular training, the combination of the two, and interval training are all acceptable means by which to burn more calories – and more importantly – burn more fat and improve your health.

However, if you’re like most people, then time may not be on your side.

Combining aerobic and strength may not fit into everyone's schedule.

And interval training may just seem like a daunting type of exercise to include into your day (even though it’s very easy).

Now, however, according to this study – especially for people with time commitment issues - aerobic exercise may be the most effective type of exercise to include – to burn fat and lose weight.

Whatever your means, including exercise is an important component to every weight loss program and should be included at ALL COSTS to keep your weight loss, calorie burn, and FAT loss results on track.
