If you aren’t sweating profusely when doing cardio, you will not see the results you expect. To see real results and reap the rewards from your aerobic workouts you’ll have to sweat by the bucketful.
You can get leaner and fitter by doing intense cardio workouts, which in turn will burn fat off and at the same time improve your cardiovascular fitness.
This type of workout will also increase your metabolism, and not just when working out, but for a long time after as well.
To maximize your metabolism (and everyone is able to increase their current metabolism) combine your cardio efforts with weight training and good nutrition that includes 3 – 5 small meals throughout the day.
Every time you eat one of those small meals, your metabolism increases in order to digest your meal. So, when eating several small meals a day, you get those bumps in your metabolism just as many times.
Unless you are completely out of shape, walking will not increase your heart rate enough to increase your metabolism. When was the last time you worked up a sweat when walking? Okay, once in a while I do get sweaty walking, but not because I am working so hard, but because it is too hot outside.
If you are just starting an exercise program, walking is certainly okay to easy yourself back into a routine. But do keep in mind that probably within a month, it will just not be enough to continue making any progress.
So what are you waiting for? Put on some workout clothes and let’s work up a sweat!
