When is the right time of the day to exercise? If you exercise prior to bedtime you may have trouble sleeping. The National Sleep Foundation has recommended not exercising at least two to three hours before bedtime. Consider planning your workouts before late evening. Should I change my eating habits? Yes you should!!! If you are doing cardio training to lose weight that certainly doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat. Fat burning cardio workouts only work if you “fuel” the body with proper diet, and training on an empty stomach will shortcut all your hard work. Your optimum nutrition should come both prior to your workout as well as after. How can I lose my belly fat without losing any weight? There is absolutely no scientific way, just to spot reduce belly fat. You see plenty of people at the gym trying to get rid of their bellies by doing sit ups. The only thing this will do is build a set of nice abs under that layer of fat. Until they burn the fat, no one will be able to see or admire their hard work. The only way you can get rid of a trouble spot is by losing weight all around, with CAR-DI-O. When you eat less calories than you burn, your body is forced to start using the fat stores as energy, and as a result, your body fat percentage will decrease and you will see an improvement all around, not just in a single area.

Can I do too much CAR-DI-O? Yes you can! Excessive cardio breaks down too much muscle, which will decrease the metabolism. Once your metabolism decreases it will become easier to put on body fat because your body burns fat is at a slower rate.
