Well the worst things are that way because they waste your time and the bottom line, time is money. To me its about working smarter, not harder, more efficient if you will. What I am talking about is not maintaining your health, because all exercises have their place. I’m talking about RESULTS driven movements that can develop a super strong heart and core, which in turn creates a lean, mean body....
Mistake #1: Doing long bouts of cardio
Look, you need to do cardio if you want to lose weight and burn fat...BUT there's a right way and a wrong way to do your cardio workouts. If you've been pounding the pavement or the treadmill with nothing to show for it (except sore joints and a pair of stinky worn out sneakers), you already know it takes a lot of effort to get minimal results.
Of course cardio-vascular fitness is one of your 5 components of health-related fitness and needs to be maintained for optimal health. So getting on your fav piece of equipment is fine, but for results driven effect this is how it falls on the worst list for FAT BURNING!
Combined the cardio with strength and endurance movements that utilize as many joints as possible. A “Burpee and/or Squat Thrust” uses ever joint on the body & requires full body dedication to form & core strength. The idea is to have super high intensity with functional (real world) movements that combined energy systems like cardio & musculare endurance with strength from body weight too.
