Intense and Effective
High-intensity training, such as cross training, has been proven to trigger significant weight loss and promote rapid increases in physical fitness. For example, if you exercise at moderate intensity on a treadmill, elliptical trainer or stationary bike, you’ll burn about 5 to 7 calories per minute. But if you exercise at 80 to 100 percent of your maximum effort, you will double your caloric expenditure. Additionally, you’ll build muscle and amp up your metabolism which will burn more calories for the rest of the day.
Researchers at Laval University in Canada found that exercising intensely helps you lose fat and build fitness faster than ANY OTHER WEIGHT LOSS PLAN. These results which were supported by studies at the University of Virginia showed that people exercising more intensely lost much more body fat, even though they exercised for less time than people training at moderate intensities.
High-intensity exercise also decreases appetite more than moderate or low-intensity exercises.
