In my last article, I made the statement that exercise alone is a poor choice if your main goal is to shed fat and lose weight, and that aerobic exercise was specifically unimpressive in this department.   Today I would like to discuss a better way. If aerobic exercise or doing cardio is not the […]

I’m going to say something that you’ll be surprised to hear come out of the mouth of a fitness professional.  Brace yourself… exercise alone is a poor choice IF your main goal is to shed fat and lose weight.   There I said it!  Might not be my best marketing tactic, but at least it’s […]
