7 Steps to Successful Fat Burning Cardio.

Fasted cardio is one of the best ways to burn body fat. Upon awakening, our fat is very vulnerable, due to the low insulin levels in the body. The body's glycogen levels at this time are very low and it will use fat for energy. A lot of debate had been surrounding this type of workout, due to the concern that it potentially can burn through the muscle. Indeed, fasted cardio, if done improperly can cause muscle wasting. However, if you follow the steps below you will prevent losing muscle and instead burn a great amount of fat!



Step 1: The night before, put 10 grams of glutamine and 10-15 grams of BCAAs in your shaker. As well, put a bottle of water and a caffeine pill (200mg) beside your bed.



Step 2: Wake up and down the caffeine pill right away. Caffeine is a fat burner and a stimulant that will help you wake up faster and will help you with fat burning during your cardio.



Step 3: Grab your shaker with the BCAAs and the glutamine and off you go to the gym/walk outside. Mix the supplements with 16oz of water. Make sure to get to the gym as soon as you can!



Step 4: Keep your heart rate between 110-120 bpm. Make sure that you do not go beyond 120bpm, as your body will start using amino acids from your muscles for energy (basically burn the muscle).



Step 5: Sip on your shake every 5-10 minutes. This will distribute the amino acids evenly throughout your workout. Make sure that you finish your drink 10 minutes before you get off the machine.



Step 6: This type of cardio should be done for at least 30 minutes to up to 60 minutes. Anything less than 30 minutes is a waste of time!



Step 7: After you done, have a breakfast right away.



Try this approach out and you will see your fat melting away!
