Each Life By Design step bucks the trend of conventional wisdom, but none more so than our disapproval of “chronic cardio”.  “That’s blasphemy!” you say.  Everyone knows that in order to lose body fat and get lean you need to do spend a lot of time walking the infinite steps to nowhere on the climber.  Still not buying in?  Go to the gym, take a look at everyone running, walking, cycling and rowing.  Head back a year later and voila, no change.

How can that be? How can someone spend hours sweating it out on the treadmill in the cardio section and not lose body fat?

Do you wake up feeling as though you haven’t slept at all, or maybe you’ve just dozed here and there? Do you have trouble completing a sentence before racing on to your next thought? Are you sick fairly often? Are you easily irritated? Are you stressed out about your spouse, your kids, your job, your family, your aging parents, your health, your money problems? Does thinking about your future stress you out?
