Despite a growing understanding of the benefits of resistance training and high intensity interval training, the nation's go-to fat loss tool still seems to be going out for a jog. Every January we hit the pavements (literally.... again and again and again) with the best intentions. Unfortunately, it turns out jogging is in fact a very flawed fat loss tool.
One reason for this is the idea that the best way to burn fat is to perform long bouts of slow, tedious aerobic exercise. This misconception actually stems from peer-reviewed sports science research. The research shows that we burn the highest proportion of fat for energy at submaximal intensities. What this ignores is the total amount of energy required by the exercise and the amount of energy we burn once the exercise has finished.

Or basically, take notice of what you read in the weight training and loss thread, because we know our stuff :35:
