"Weight training builds lean muscle mass and therefore increases your RMR. Excessive cardio training actually can cause a loss of lean muscle mass, therefore decreasing your RMR."
"The result is that people who use primarily cardio based workouts and also have a poor diet frequently acquire that “skinny-fat” appearance where they have very little muscle with excess body fat."
"Consider the physiques of marathoners versus sprinters. Most sprinters carry a physique that is very lean, muscular, and powerful looking, while the typical dedicated marathoner is more often emaciated and sickly looking."
"If you’re in good enough shape to sprint, always sprint instead of jogging."
Simple Intensity Type Training
1. Try about 6-12 all-out sprints of about 50-100 yards with 30-90 seconds rest in between.
2. Play sports such as football, basketball, racquetball, tennis, hockey, etc.
3. Jumping rope
4. Boxing
5. Rowing machine
6. Stair climbing
7. Hill running/sprinting
"I guarantee you that a 20-minute high intensity interval training session is much more effective than a 40-50 minute boring steady pace cardio session."
How to Hill Sprinting?
"Running as fast as you can up the hill for about 30 yards (or however big the hill is), and then walk down the hill as your recovery interval. Keep repeating sprinting up the hill with walking down the hill about 10-15 minutes."

Me: I'm SHOCKED and pause reading for a while when I read that "Intensity cardio training sessions are not the best way to lose body fat and reveal your abs." Well, now I know that Cardio is not effective way to get lean and reduces fat. Thanks again Mr. Michael D. Geary
