Misconceptions About Cardio Exercise
Is cardio the answer for fat loss? There are many different views on what type of cardio is best, as well as how long and how often you need to perform it if you’re trying to lose weight. And what if you’re trying to bulk up? Will cardio undermine your efforts? The number of theories out there is enough to make your head spin. Here are some common myths surrounding this controversial topic.

Myth No. 1: Steady-state cardio is the best way to burn fat.
The truth: Although you may be able to perform this “easier” type of cardio for a longer period of time, thus burning more calories while you are doing it, it is what happens afterward that is more significant. With high intensity interval training, which is cardio performed at a much more intense level, your body will expend a greater number of calories throughout the day in order to repair itself after the hard workout; this results in a greater number of overall calories burned.

Myth No. 2: The more cardio you do, the more you can eat.
The truth: Don’t we all wish this were true? So many people operate under the false notion that they can eat a double cheeseburger, and then just go burn it off at the gym. First off, do you realize that it would take about 2 hours of running to burn that many calories? I bet that burger doesn’t look so appetizing now. Second, if you go by this principle, you will likely spend way too much time doing cardio, which will result in overtraining and possible injury. There is nothing that halts progress like these two unwanted evils.

Myth No. 3: Wearing weights while you do cardio helps you burn more fat.
The truth: If you think those two-pound ankle straps are going to launch you into fat-burning mode, think again. Not only are they not heavy enough to significantly impact your calorie burn, they will also throw off your balance, which could lead to injury. You‘re better off focusing on raising the intensity of your cardio rather than the amount of resistance. If your goal is to get stronger, get off the cardio machine and into the weight room; that is where strength progress is made.

Myth No. 4: You should do the same type of cardio every day if you want to see progress.
The truth: Just as in weight training, if you perform the same movement day in and day out, your body will adapt and become more “efficient.” You will end up burning fewer and fewer calories, and reaching the dreaded plateau. Instead, try to mix it up by running one day, biking the next, and possibly venturing onto the elliptical machine on the third day. In addition to changing machines, don’t forget to vary the intensity of your workout. This will force your body to alternate between periods of being pushed to its limits and resting, which will ensure that progress is made.

Myth No. 5: If you only have 10 minutes to do cardio, you might as well skip it.
The truth: 10 minutes is 10 minutes! When it comes to burning fat, every movement you make throughout the day counts; even the simple act of lifting your coffee cup burns calories. You’re much better off just making what you can out of those 10 minutes. If you frequently find yourself lacking time to do cardio, try breaking your workout into segments: 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch and 10 minutes at night -- whatever works best for you.

Myth No. 6: You shouldn’t eat before cardio if you want to lose body fat.
The truth: This is a much debated topic, and it basically boils down to the type of cardio you are doing. If it is a steady-state, moderately paced workout, then you don’t need to eat; working out on an empty stomach may even help you access your fat stores faster. If you plan on doing HIIT sprints, however, you must eat beforehand. This type of cardio requires glucose for fuel, so not eating will throw your body into a catabolic state (during which you burn muscle tissue) and you won’t even be able to maintain the intensity this workout requires. You are best off eating a small meal that contains carbohydrates and protein about an hour beforehand.

Myth No. 7: Cardio demands little concentration, so you can entertain yourself by reading or watching TV.
The truth: If you are able to fully focus on a TV or a magazine while performing cardio, you are not working hard enough. Your pace should be fast enough that you are only able to focus on the task at hand. If it is “easy” day, you may be able to get away with watching some TV; however, a better option would be to pay attention to your movements to ensure that you are using proper form.

Cardio No-Nos
Next time you question what type of cardio best suits your needs, keep these common myths in mind. Don’t fall for what many others before you believed; it will only lead to disappointment. If you are still uncertain about what is best for you, your next course of action should be to speak to a qualified trainer who can provide you with an appropriate program.

There’s a difference—a very big difference—between
NUTRILITE supplements and all others. Here’s why.

Weinventedmultivitamins.
That was 1934. Our multivitamin- multimineral supplements was the first ever in North America. So was our kids’ multivitamins in 1950. That makes us the only supplement company that has offered high-quality vitamins continuously for nearly 70 years.

We “discovered”phytonutrients.
Right from the beginning, we knew there was more to good nutrition that vitamins and minerals. We figured plants had other nutrients important to us. So we put alfalfa concentrate in our first multivitamins. It was a crazy idea back in 1934, but we were right. And now, other companies have followed our way.

We’re committed to research.
Our research studies on nutrition and phytonutrients have been published in highly respected professional journals since 1953. We also maintain technical research relationship with 75 universities and institutions around the world. To learn more about phytonutrients, we invested 1$ million in research equipment and one of the largest herb farm in the U.S.—Trout Lake Farm in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state.

We set the industry standard forquality.
Everybody talks about quality assurance, but we “live” quality assurance. Our scientists conduct about 40,000 product evaluations every year. Our supplements must pass quality tests on purity and potency.

We groworganic.
Nutrilite is the one and only global supplement brand to grow, harvest, and process plants on our own certified-organic farms**. We make plants concentrates because nature created plants, fruits and vegetables to be full of nutrients beyond vitamins and minerals. NUTRILITE makes concentrates from plants and vegetables, removing the water but preserving the nutrients. The moment a plant is cut, its nutritional potency is in our hands. Our race to concentrate the harvest is your assurance that nutritional potency is locked-in and its peak.
