More About Metabolic Resistence Training

Those of you who I often speak with no how I feel about steady state cardio for weight loss (it's ineffective.) Everyday I see the same people plugging away on a treadmill or elliptical machine for 30 - 45 minutes. Those are the people who never get any results from their training. The goal should be to increase strength while also increasing long term metabolic rate. This is done using Metabolic Resistence Training. Here is a video by Rachel Cosgrove. In it she articulates the reasons for this strategy much better then I can. It's all about utilizing activities that will build muscle, result in an elevated metabolism for hours post-workout, and burn calories during the workout. Metabolic Resistence Training is the best way to accomplish all three things at once.
