Let’s say you wanted to lose weight and improve your overall fitness, what would be your first step?
My guess is it would involve dusting off your old runners, hitting the treadmill (or stationary bike, stair-master etc) for 45-60min 3-5x/wk. After all, keeping your heart rate in the ‘fat burning zone’ is a sure-bet to quick weight loss and strong ‘cardio’… right?
What if I told you that spending hours pounding the pavement each week isn’t the best strategy to get lean, strong and fit?
In fact, it can be downright dangerous.
