Running to Burn Fat - Rocky Balboa Was Right
By Rusty Moore
These days it is popular opinion to walk at a moderate pace on the
treadmill to reach a target heart rate and burn body fat at a steady rate. In
every gym you see people just barely moving along for 30 minutes at a time on
the treadmill. These are the same people that look the same year after year.
Deep down, you know that this isn’t the most effective way to burn body fat.
Seriously…you know that taking it easy isn’t going to cut it!
In 1976 Rocky Balboa Was Performing a Better
Workout!
Yeah…it’s been 30 years, but Rocky had the right idea. I wouldn’t
recommend pounding the glass of raw eggs, but I would recommend actually working
up a sweat when you perform cardio. Rocky was running to burn fat and it worked
wonders for him. He ran up some stairs in Rocky 1, he ran on the beach in Rocky
3, he ran through the snow in Rocky 4…you get the idea.
percentage of the calories you burn will come from fat. When you run, a lower
percentage of the calories you burn come from fat, but you will burn MUCH more
calories. When you run, you will burn more total fat and more calories. You may
burn a lower percentage of the calories from fat, but the total is still much
higher than walking.
Running to Burn Fat? Burns Fat Even After the Workout is
Finished.
Walking simply doesn’t boost your metabolism very much. You are really only
burning fat while you are walking. Running on the other hand, boosts your
metabolism and turns your body into a fat burning machine. The better you get at
running, the leaner you will get. Seriously…have you ever seen an overweight
track star? You could get good at walking, but what is that going to do? I see
tons of people who walk for close to an hour a day and never seem to improve the
look of their physique.
Make Rocky Proud and Start Running to Burn Fat Instead of
Walking!
