What cardio should I do to help lose unwanted fat?

I was thinking about doing some light running every other day. Will this help me lose excess fat?

  1. This is a very broad question. I will do my best. For some one just starting a program that has 20-40lbs. to lose, they will get more bang for their buck with interval cardio done first thing in the morning in a fasted (no food) state. To further your fat burning state, eat a sensible dinner (with no starchy carbs/just salads, veggies, greenbeans) around 6:00 p.m. (if you have a normal schedule). keep the portion size small, eat a small protein snack at 9:30 p.m. (an egg ommlete or cottage chees works well). The next morning get up and start an intense interval cardio. Ride the fat burning wave and do not eat until 45 min. after you are done. For more advanced clients, lets say someone preparing for a photo shoot or a contest the mentality should by different. Lower intensity cardio done in the a.m. allows us to consume 100-200 grams of complex carbs thoughout the day without a risk of storing the extra calories as fat. Thus storing more glycogen in the muscles to create an anabolic situation during intense resistance training.
