2013 is here, and like all the years before, the cardio/aerobic equipment is being used to its maximum potential once again for people trying to shed those unwanted pounds from years past. Throughout my education process, I have learned of all the benefits that come with cardiovascular training. It seems as though it is the one thing that has no harmful effects in the exercise world.
I have come across an article from Charles Poliquin that might make us less inclined to just rely on the treadmill and bike for our health and weight loss goals.

Repeatedly biking, riding the treadmill/elliptical, and running our way toward trying to increase metabolism and have a reduction in body fat. Only, most of the time that doesn’t happen. Why?
