The truth with regards to cardio for fat loss is that it WILL work for some people.

However, most of those persons are in general younger men, you know those guys who are in university or just out of and, therefore, also have lots of time to train, so that’s what in general works best for.

It in all likelihood works for less persons than it doesn’t work for. In fact, galore researchers/trainers believes cardio may make a woman’s thighs even fatter.

So if you’ve found your upper body getting skinnier but your thighs getting fatter after doing a cardio program, then I guarantee cardio is not the best fat burning workout for you!

Unfortunately, cardio merely does not work for most of the persons reading this article, and in numerous of the recent exploration that I’ve studied, came across, I found one study from the UK that showed that when numerous persons do cardio, they genuinely have an increase in their appetite.

Now to be fair, galore humans in this study lost a lot of weight. But a great deal of people in the study also gained weight. Imagine that! Doing exercise and benefitting weight. How frustrating!

They did this study over in regards to eight weeks and found that a good deal of humans actually gained weight over an eight week cardio weight loss study and when they looked at what these humans ate, they found that cardio made these persons hungrier and increased their appetite, so if that’s you then cardio is not the way to go.

Another study that I came all over lately showed that in men and women that had – these men and women did an hour of cardio six days per week for an entire year and they only lost six pounds of body weight on average, so that’s plainly not a very good investment of their time.

Again, the exploration genuinely isn’t too supportive of long, slow cardio for fat loss and it’s surely not as good as interval training.

There’s been two head-to-head studies of cardio and intervals and the one is closely 15 years old now and it’s from Canada and it showed that the people on the interval training lost more body fat and then just in late 2006, a study came out of Australia and it showed that a group of women doing a 15-week study, those that did 40 minutes of slow cardio three days per week didn’t lose any weight, but those doing 20 minutes of interval training three days per week actually lose belly fat.

That is the truth when it comes to cardio when it comes to exploration and fat loss studies and it just shows you it’s not as good as most humans think.

Certainly, in the real world we see that because there’s a lot of humans that don’t change their bodies even though they do six or seven hours of cardio per week. Interval training does work better for fat loss in a short amount of workout time.

Solid workout, but has a lot of flaws
By Leanne
I purchased this workout since the description made it sound like it would be a high-intensity, interval training (HIIT) workout, and I’ve been looking for more HIIT DVD workouts to add to my collection since they are hard to find. (I have the Abs Diet and the Women’s Body Type workouts, which are very good HIIT workouts.)

Most of this workout does qualify as an interval workout, where you substitute intense segmentations of cardio for a minute or so, before recovering by marching in place. However, a lot of of the intervals have you using light weights (to do biceps curls, triceps presses, etc.) and doing things like push-ups, which likewise makes it fall into the category of a circuit workout. I mention this only because it will make it hard to fit into a training program; the weight lifting wasn’t hard sufficient to qualify as a true weight-lifting session, and yet I don’t want to lift weights without 48 hours of rest in amidst my weight sessions.

The workout is fun and moves at a good pace, but the firstborn share of it didn’t get my heart rate up very high. To increase the intensity, I ended up modifying the marching in place to light jogging in place. The workout likewise includes a tough, six-minute ab section, which I genuinely enjoyed. However, what I didn’t like was that the cardio section just concluded, without any stretching or proper cool down, before moving into the abs. After doing abs, there is numerous stretching, but it would have been much better to have included a good deal of brief stretching and a cool down *before* doing the abs to give the heart galore time to recover.

The last thing I wanted to mention is that the background exercisers are all thin women who are clad in short shorts and tank tops. Several times, Commander Tom mentions that they are all “real people,” and yet I would have liked to have seen numerous men and more persons who look like they are just getting started with the workout program.

All in all, it’s a good workout, but I don’t think I’ll be reaching for it that often. Although he had good positive energy, the instructor just doesn’t motivate me like other instructors do. Overall, I’d genuinely give this 3 1/2 stars.

The nicest tough guy you’ll meet
By R. Floyd
The SWAT Workout is led by Tom Stroup, an actual SWAT commander. He has a outstanding personality and a good rapport with the background exercisers. This is an interval workout. It comprises of running in place, jumping jacks, “SWAT” thrusts, mountain climbers, boxers and other drils with the SWAT march amongst each drill to concede your heart rate to come down. It’s a good workout for burning fat, increasing endurance and agility. I love drill type workouts, but even if it’s not your thing, Tom’s personality makes it fun. The SWAT workout isn’t such a killer workout that it has a big dread factor, but it isn’t a walk in the park either. It may be altered for a beginner, but an experienced exerciser may get a good workout too.

Here is breakdown of the chapters:

EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS AND FAT BURNING (body weight only)
Chapter one- warm up- 9:30 MINUTES
Chapter two- SWAT fat burning workout – 30 MINUTES
Chapter three- BONUS-6 pack ABS in 6 minutes
Chapter four- cool down – 8:49 MINUTES

If you’re short on time, the 30 minute fat burning makes a great stand alone workout. All you in truth need to add is a quick stretch at the end.

S.W.A.T. Rocks!
By Gymmie
I LOVE S.W.A.T.!

These workouts will get you in, get you out and done! These workouts look “easy” if you just view them, but once you try them you will feel it.

I firstborn learned in regards to the S.W.A.T. workouts on a fitness board and was intrigued by the description. When I received my S.W.A.T. workouts I put them in the DVD and fell in love! Let Commander Tom come into your home and you won’t regret it.

My bestloved workout is the Weight Loss one. I didn’t like burpees (aka squat thrusts) and averted them for years, but after doing them in the Weight Loss workout, I started out liking them! I also love the Abs and Core workout! Another to the point workout. All the workouts are great!

Commander Tom cares regarding you and your success! You do not need a lot of equipment, just your dumbbells, toning bands, DVD Player, water, towel and S.W.A.T.!

I am VERY picky with regards to my workouts and who I like, Commander Tom is one of the few on my “I will buy any and everything they put out” list.
