 Psssst.... Lean in. I want to tell you a secret about doing cardio. It's the secret to doing it efficiently and effectively. It's the way to make sure all your time sweating and grunting... trying to burn fat... pays off.
Ready for the key: Get Moving!
The most effective form of cardio is one that allows you to move your body the most. The more you move your body, the more calories you burn.
Of course, intensity levels also play a factor. That's why jogging is more effective at burning calories than walking. Running is more intense, so it's more effective.
Want to know one of the most effective and intense methods of cardio?
Go to the deep end of a swimming pool, jump in, and tread water as though your life depends on staying afloat (well, I guess, actually it does).
I don't mean just leisurely trying to stay above water. I mean flapping your arms, kicking your legs, and slashing around as though it's "sink or swim" time.

 One of the biggest myths I deal with as a personal trainer is that many people still believe it takes hours in the gym to build muscle and get a lean, muscular physique.
Not true.
In fact, the best results I've seen, both with my own training as well as clients, come from spending no more than 3 to 4 hours a week in the gym. And that's the time spent weight training and doing cardio each week.
I spend no more than 3 hours a week weight training and my online clients spend the same amount. And we achieve great results.
So if you're currently spending more than 3 hours a week weight training, you may be seriously limiting your gains by overtraining.
You see, when trying to build muscle, its not the amount of time spent that matters. It's how you spend that time.
Muscle growth occurs from stimulating the muscle with heavy weight (overload)then allowing the muscle to rest and recover. Proper rest and nutrition during this time is vital.
