This is not your regular two all beef patty with special sauce, pickles, onions, lettuce, cheese on a sesame seed bun. Sorry to bust your bubble, but this is a cardiovascular revolution. This is not the longer LSD (Long Slow Distance), but M.A.C (Metabolic Activation Cardio).

Are you one of those individuals worried about your failure to control fat accumulation in the “trouble spots”? Have you ever considered that traditional long slow distance (LSD) or high duration and low intensity cardiovascular conditioning actually may be contributing culprits, responsible not only for slower fat loss, but for actual fat accumulation in hereditary storage sites so-called trouble spots? The alternative for this problem is a revolutionary high intensity interval training system, that we call metabolic activation cardio (M.A.C). Research has already revealed that M.A.C., intervals including vigorous sprints followed by active rest periods, is the best way to lose fat. This type of exercise increases metabolic after-burn (enhanced caloric use post exercise) and improves muscle tone, energy levels, VO2 MAX, etc. In fact, one research study showed that when adjusted for the length of workouts, high intensity interval training resulted in fat loss some nine times greater than long duration training.

The “fat constitution” would not have worked for Madison, Hamilton and the boys because not all body fat is created equal!

Have you ever wondered why, despite considerable weight loss, you seem not to have lost any fat around your midsection (mostly men) or around the waist, hips, gluts and thighs (women)? Some suggest that fat can redistribute to those trouble spots because of chronically elevated catabolic hormones, which can be directly due to too much LSD.

Broadly, there are two types of body fat. Subcutaneous is the dreaded accumulation that is under our skin and other body structures. The second type of fat is visceral fat, which lies within the abdominal wall. We do need some of the good fats to help lubricate our joints and organs for proper function.

Research shows that every year we lose 1 pound of muscle and metabolic rate drops by 50 percent. In general these are the properties that help control our weight and help us stay lean. So, when it comes to losing fat, metabolic rate is everything. In general, body size, levels of mass and activity determine that short (30 minutes) variable intensity (interval) sessions not only cause reduction in appetite, but boost resting metabolic rates higher than LSD training.

This type of regimen causes a more prolonged oxidative after-burn, in comparison to a typical 30-45 minute bike ride at a static, unchanging level. M.A.C. yields greater levels of fat being burned and more advantageous metabolic conditions. It gives you the RESULTS you want more quickly.

1. Higher loss of subcutaneous fat.

2. A greater proportion of mobilized abdominal fat.

3. Decreased appetite after each M.A.C session.

4. Increases post-training resting metabolic rate, as compared to LSD training

5. Enhanced specific muscle enzymes more favorable to lean muscle induction and substrate restoration.

6. Increases maximum oxygen uptake and increases in other levels of fitness.

7. Utilizes less training time with more flexible loads and environments.

8. Initial suggestion of higher levels of elation and focus, as compared to LSD.
