LOVE THIS!!!!! Crank Up The Intensity Stop walking, stop jogging, and start sprinting! Cardio is important for health, but excessive aerobic training may actually hinder the growth of your lovely lady lumps. (We dont want that) Prolonged aerobic exercise is catabolic, depleting energy that is crucial to building muscle. High-intensity exercise burns calories during and after exercise, and it increases the secretion of hormones that stimulate fat breakdown. Lengthy sessions of low-intensity cardio, on the other hand, only burn calories during exercise and can eventually use carbohydrates or even protein as a fuel source. While you might be comfortable watching Friends reruns on the elliptical for hours, your body can actually deplete your carbohydrate supply and turn to the protein stored in your muscle for energy. Substitute those monotonous workouts on the treadmill with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions. HIIT alternates between high- and low-intensity exercises. The combination maintains the intensity of a workout over a longer period of time than high-intensity exercise alone. Twenty-minute bouts of interval sprints will strengthen your entire lower body, reveal your incredible physique, and help you develop awesome glutes.
