[MontionMauricio]

thank you so much for posting this video. You've made it very clear..

[KronikVibE]

if you are a teenager still growing will weight training give u bone damage and get u stubby???

[belkistorres]

alright im 15 and i am normal neither fat or skinny more to the skinny side though lets say im doing cardio for about an hour like the guy in this vid is saying and then i just do pushups and situps will i still be able to gain muscle or what!

[875290]

well if you wanna gain muscle you need to drink protein, and eat healthy

[Jacenta1]

Thanks I thought I was doing the right thing.

[Zero100009]

so your saying that you just need low intesity cardio for longer periods of time instead of high intensity exercise? because the high intestity will not support muscle tissue?

[ashleymichaels90]

great video

[HateMetal88]

i burn 1500 calories in 2 and a half - 3hr sessions in the gym, doing treadmill, rowing and cross trainer. I do this about twice a week and do about one session a week of weight training, would you recommend me doing more weight training and less cardio, or any advice on helping me burn additional fat

[StayHealthyTV]

Don't forget the basics: Consume less than you burn - weight loss is that simple.

Great video, Thanks!

[Vreemde]

just train cardio and muscle building, keep the variety.

also drink enough water!!! water cleans your body wich is verry important

[rangeispow]

i need some help would walk/runing a track blacktop and dirt for a couple hours and drinking a redbull before the walk/run.

OR is there a better way... please

[Death2Fanboys]

I'm nutrionist but if you want some advise (sp?) try eating more Dietary fiber and with some cardio you should see the fat fade away. Try foods like Kidney beans, Oatmeal, Blueberries, Almonds etc...Dietary fiber both soluble and insoluble will help your digestive system running smooth. You don't have to run a marathon or swim the English Channel. Just some simple jogging and bicycle will help you get rid of the fat. If you want muscles and tone listen to Mr. Bruno.

Dietary Fiber will help.

[yourlifemustsuck]

As a nutrionist you should not be commenting on the exercise part, but your statement on fibre is correct.

[KaseyAkira]

I'll admit, when I first started the vid and heard "I'm a personal trainer and MUSCLE ACTIVATION TECHNIQUE SPECIALIST"... I face palmed. "Oh brother, another personal trainer assigning a big long fancy name to himself in order to sound more 'scientific'". Then as I watched the vid... I'm like... hold on a second... he knows what he's talking about. Damn, maybe he really IS an activision technical squeeky specialist!!! In all seriousness though, I was suprised he got it right.

[SilkySpence]

Cardiovascular exercises are the most efficient way to burn excess fat!, obviously other exercises that don't include Cardio still burn fat, but Cardiovascular is defiantly the most efficient way. I cant understand why every now and then someone will pop up out of nowhere and try to explain that Cardio exercises aren't the most efficient way to burn fat!?.

[KaseyAkira]

Dude...

"Cardio" exercises, by definition of the word "cardiovascular", include EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE YOU CAN DO other than walking or sitting. It includes powerlifting, bodybuilding, tennis, basketball, shot putting, you name it. Chess is probably the only sport that isn't cardiovascular in nature, again, due to the definition of the word. This causes a lot of confusion. Cardio is NOT the same as aerobic exercise.

[arabiantrancedj]

YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD MAN!!!!!!

CARDIO IS THE BEST MAN! YES IF you run very fast to your maximum! THE MORE U RUN THE MORE hgh hormone ur body realease and yes MORON that grows muscles and makes you liver burn fat! YOUR LIVER ALSO BURN FAT MAN,Stop it with the muscle crap!

[KaseyAkira]

Methamphetamines - dont take them before coming to youtube.

[Superman1281]

Cool video, always enjoy hearing about ways to get in better shape.

[kondor1001]

I like the message your trying to deliver. Fat DOES star to burn off after about 40 mins, but, what a lot of people miss is the fact that "muscle" starts to burn away after 40 mins also. It is much better to actually STOP at 40 mins max, so your leaving your muscles alone or even growing them. Lose 1 Lb a week and you can lose as much as you want over the long term AND keep or even grow some muscle which means a much better shape and your body will keep burning calories naturally.

[yourlifemustsuck]

The real figures are:

45 minutes of high intensity training: protein "consuming" acids are released quicker than usual, breaking down you muscle tissue as your body is considering itself in a state of emergency where it needs protein for more important functions than for muscle.

1 hour: if you do not stop and relax and eat quickly you will lose more muscle than you gain from continuing training.

[KaseyAkira]

This is combated by taking a preworkout meal consisting of low GI carbs and slow digesting proteins, as well as drinking a glucose-protein solution during your workout. Glutamine is extremely effective at stopping catabolism - 5 g can be taken before and after a workout. This combined with BCAAs can stop most muscle wasting during long term aerobic exercises.

[yourlifemustsuck]

I could not agree more!

[AgentSpiral]

please reply what is glucose protein solution???

[KaseyAkira]

glucose = sugar.

protein = protein.

Solution = mix the 2 above in water and drink it.

[kuffkuff]

how are sure u are not different from those u criticise?and why do u think ur own figures are real?

[yourlifemustsuck]

How am I sure I'm not different from them? Oh I'm pretty sure I AM different from them.

I think those figures are true because I have read about 20 different surveys on the subject, most of which agreed on those figures. The 2 I remember (there might have been a third one) who did not agree, were both sponsored by fitness centres.

Also I originally did weight training for 1½ hours and cut it to 45-60 mins, resulting in my muscle gain increasing drastically.

[kuffkuff]

I understand u now but there are lots of fitness specialists and they say contrasting things.For me i think the best is to follow what works for u.During your 45-60mins training do u include cardio?and pls what can u advice me on the duration of cardio per session?thanks

[yourlifemustsuck]

Ofc they say different things, most of them are sponsored by different fitness centres and/or supplement producers. What works best for you is usually what works best for almost everyone, with very slight alterations.

The 45-60 mins do NOT include the 5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown of gentle exercise (eg. fairly fast walking, steady biking) that you should do, but I do not know what you mean by "cardio". Basically everything else than rest and walking is the term "cardiovascular", so..?

[TruthDevours]

Burn more calories than you eat or burn more calories than you have. Eat 1200. Burn 800 BEFORE bed. Sleep with 300-400. Limit carbs. OR Eat 1200-1500. Burn BEFORE breakfast. You have no calories when you wake up. So you ONLY burn fat. Proven method for slimming down. Good vid. 5/5

[JanEriksen]

If you train BEFORE breakfast, you are low on carbs and your body will break down muscles to get the needed carbs. You also burn fat, but your body can only burn a specific percentage of fat, the rest have to come from carbohydrats. Breaking down muscles in this way also reduces the metabolism for the rest of the day in such a way that it would be much much better to train after a smal breakfast

[TruthDevours]

If you train after eating you're body will use that food as energy. The only way to attack fat storage is to use that fat as energy. You'll break down muscles if you over work them, so doing 20 mins of cardio at 80% for 40 sec - 1 min/resting for 2 mins will even it out. Eating after the workout increases the metabolism. Eat about 5 more small meals throughout the day to keep it moving. Search Google for "the best time to burn fat". Plenty of info is available.

[JanEriksen]

Well, I just recently read a different study about the breakfast thing. They claimed the percentage of stored fat burned when training would be the same.

You are right about the small meals point. I try, even though it goes again the culture of the country I currently live in, to do this. Stupid south-europeans seems to only eat 2 or max 3 times a day. In Spain they prefere a huge and fatty meal between 2100 and 2300. Nice culture

[yourlifemustsuck]

JanEriksen, you are correct about the percentage of fat being burned being exactly the same as if you have not eaten before hand. All people wishing to lose weight in the form of fat and/or gain weight in the form of muscle tissue should always eat breakfast first thing in the morning and should eat 5-7 smallish meals per day and drink a lot of water regularly.

[bluesman974]

well yea the people who did lose the weight did..but they did not gain muscle and thats wat he is talking about...

:)

[everlong1039]

Thanks for explaining that, honestly. That just saved me a lot of confusion.

[yourlifemustsuck]

Though this guy is completely correct (horray =D) be careful in trusting fat-loss and muscle-gain tips on youtube, the rest of the internet, in magazines, etc. because about 85% of info on both subjects consists of scams and people just wanting to sell you some stupid product, training programme or "professional advice".

[yourlifemustsuck]

Even many personal trainers like this guy have huge lacks of knowledge on bodybuilding and weight-loss and rely mainly on good-for-nothing supplements which they think are the reason for their actually simply genetically lucky muscle gains/weight losses. But what drpearsall says is all good! Good luck (:

[arabiantrancedj]

wth is this guy talking about, DUDE!

I play soccer and run a lot and am in good shape !back home i would exercise 6 hours a day man!

once you start thinking about how many calories you burn u become sick in the head! just play sports enjoy it, when you feel tired go home and relax! thats it! STOP IT WITH THE CALORIE STUFF!

[yourlifemustsuck]

Well that has absolutely nothing to do with this video. Horray for you, you enjoy sports and are in good shape and you don't like to talk about calories. Go do some sports then, this video is for people who want to burn fat and not people like you who are apparently already fit. Dumbass.

[KaseyAkira]

In order for someone to be good in the field of fitness, he must be able to address all types of athletes and all types of needs, not just soccer players. You play soccer, we dont. You run 6 hours, we dont. What works for you will not work for us. But, there IS something in particular that will work for each of us, so its not just an "anything goes" type of field.

Thats fitness science.

[omoshiroii]

Cross training provides varietis so that the exercise wont be so boring.

BTW, the background is the same one from one of Dr Mercola's videos. Wonder if there is a connection there =)

[THEKILLER300]

need more onfo

[zulema77]

solo haciendo cardio no consigues masa muscular, es mas, la pierdes si no sigues una buena dieta, y a la larga si esa masa muscular que es la que esta consumiendo esas calorias la pierdes, cada vez consumiras menos calorias, por tanto creo que la combinación unos días de cardio y otros días entrenamiento de fuerza, es la mejor manera de quemar esa grasa y no volver a recuperarla, ya que cuanta mas masa mucular tengas, mas calorias puedes comer sin acumularlas.

[stratmandoug1974]

He's not saying that burning 300 calories an hour is a bad thing.He's saying its better to cross train with weight training,sprinting and 20 minute low intensity training instead of a one hour walk.The goal is for the exercise to speed up your metabolism so you can more burn calories while you are NOT exercising.

[zatkinberry]

It is true that your metabolism is raised after exercise - but it doesn't burn hundreds of calories following your workout. And as for that whole 'low-intensity' thing, that is a myth. It doesn't matter if you are in the 'cardio' or 'fat-burning' zones, the longer you are exercising for the more calories you burn. So a 20 minute walk will not burn as many calories as an hour-long one. I agree with you about the strength training though, that should be in everyone's workout regime.

[Tatso1]

WELL,YOU'RE CUTE

[juliusdance]

great

[Flyboy4eva718]

Great tip thanks
