What is the best form of cardio for losing fat?

A question my clients and myself gets asked a lot.

It is understandable, you think you are doing everything you can to progress yet you see others progressing quicker and it makes you wonder what they are doing differently.

You want to know what cardio they are doing, how much and how long for.

You want to know what they are eating, the amounts and when to eat.

It is simple.

There is no “fixed plan” or one single way of doing this.

Everyone has different needs, different goals, different requirements and different rates of progression which means their plan has to adapt as their body adapts.

So most of you paying useless trainers for one off programmes are wasting your time, effort and money unfortunately.

Some of my clients walk, some run, some are condemned to the stair master and others do no cardio whatsoever.

Their circumstances are all different so different tools are needed for different jobs.

Your expenditure also has to be sustainable for yourself, it has to have scope to be progressive and it needs to be something that you can recover from.

Just because you run faster does not give you a quicker result of fat loss.

Just because you walk for longer does not get you to your goal faster.

Just because you do 10 classes a week, does not mean you will get abs.

Most of you that know me will know that I walk or ride VERY slowly for my cardio as it is relaxing, sustainable and I am able to work at the same time - work smart, not hard.

People are so hell bent on thinking more is better and they couldn’t be further from the truth.

Do not be mistaken by the notion that this is as simple as “moving more” or “eating less”.

Most people with that mentality are stuck in a rut burning through muscle tissue and holding onto stubborn fat stores - it is a bad position to be in so stop doing yourself more harm than good.
