Today's secret is FASTED CARDIO. This is NOT for beginners, and only to be done early in the morning after about 8 or 10 hours of fasting. We don't reccomend fasting any longer than 10 hours. The cardio can be steady state or HIIT if your up for a challenge, on any machine of your choice. We've given some good examples of HIIT training in previous blog posts. We recommend taking some BCAAs first. This is so you can preserve your lean muscle. Because remember, muscle burns fat! We've written about our favorite BCAAs in previous posts. Then, make sure you get food in your system immediately after your session is complete. The cardio should NEVER last longer than an hour. After an hour, your stress response starts kicking in and your body won't be working to your advantage. Some people find they have more energy with fasted cardio, but some will feel sluggish and faint. So test this Saturday Shred Secret out cautiously. The idea behind fasted cardio is that your body will burn stored fat for fuel instead of using the carbs you feed into your system. You shouldn't do this everyday, but its good when leading up to an important event where you want to look leaner than normal.
