Yesterday, I came across an article written by Rachel Cosgrove that just came out. The article was about her training for a triathlon. In the article she shares her experience of training for an endurance event. The overwhelming theme of the article is that she was not happy with what the aerobics did to her body. After 374 training hours she only lost 5 lbs and on top of that she lost her abs. The article goes on to point out why aerobics are not good for fat loss and why high intensity exercise that includes weight lifting and interval training is far superior to cardio for losing body fat. After she finished her triathlon she decided to focus on losing body fat(yes, you read that right she had to focus on losing the body fat she had gained from training for the triathlon). She began a program that had her performing heavy weightlifting and metabolic circuits at high intensities. The results of the program are pretty impressive. You can check out the article here.
