Conditioning work

In addition to resistance exercise, you should also include some conditioning exercise, often called cardio. Don’t confuse steady state aerobics like long jogs, bike rides, or the Elliptical as your conditioning work, this type of exercise is not all that effective for fat loss or true conditioning.

If you're healthy and in fairly good shape try high intensity interval exercise, in which you work really hard for 20-90 seconds, rest, work hard again, rest again. This type of cardio work has been shown to be the most effective form of conditioning work and for burning body fat.

Here’s LeeAnne demonstrating one of my favorite forms of conditioning exercise: interval circuits.

Today is 40s work and 20s rest –repeat total Circuit 2-4 times –rest 2min between Circuit.
And believe it or not, this workout is way more effective at burning fat and improving her conditioning than 45-60 minutes of walking or jogging!
