The secret that I want to share with you is about how cardio can be used correctly or incorrectly as part of a fat loss program. Even some personal trainers get this wrong, so don’t feel bad if you’ve been making this mistake. Since fat loss is overwhelmingly about calories in versus calories out, the name of the game when it comes to fat loss (notice it’s FAT loss and not just weight loss) is calorie deficit. In order for your body to be forced to use stored fat for energy, it must not be getting enough energy from the food you eat. Simple enough, right?

By the end of your fat loss program, you will be in shape and ready to continue on in maintenance mode very easily because you can exercise regularly, no problem. If you had not used exercise (cardio or otherwise) as part of your fat loss program, you might lose the weight but then struggle to keep it off since you are not being active. Being active will do wonders for not only your waistline, but your entire lifestyle as well. And you don’t even have to join a gym if you don’t want to. You can simply set up an inexpensive home gym and exercise to your hearts content right from home.
