How long should each cardio session run?
..................................................................................
Eugene Thong:
If you’re doing it properly? Not long at all – 17
minutes, if you’re doing things the MCNewsletters way! Forget about
doing an
hour of cardio on the treadmill or bike. You won’t burn much in
the way of calories, and if you’re not attending to diet properly,
you’re spinning your wheels anyway.
Mike put forth the
rationale and the methodology of the
17 minute cardio workout we recommend in his article “High
Intensity Cardio Secrets, Part 2.” It outlines, step by step, both
a beginner and an advanced workout.
I want to drive home
the point that cardio should be your last consideration in a
fat
loss program; consider it the icing on the cake. The foundation
of your fat loss should be proper diet, followed immediately by
strength training to maximize metabolism. Cardio should be
performed only if you’re firing on all cylinders in the other two
disciplines. Maximize your efforts and get the biggest bang for your
buck!

About the Author:
Eugene Thong, CSCS, was born a weak, skinny,
bespectacled child. Now, thanks to a steady diet of martial arts,
scientific inquiry, and heavy compound movements, he's no longer weak.
His scientific bent, Zen-like demeanor, and efficient but intense
methods have made him one of New York's most sought-after personal
trainers.
 When
not helping clients cultivate their own inner 6-packs, Eugene can be found
arm barring opponents at Renzo Gracie's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy or
sailing through the air on his snowboard. Read Eugene's semi-weekly musings

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
