bodybuilder and trainer paul revealed has made several videos breaking down his tactics for getting ahead of a physical competition and how he uses for walk as your main form of cardio during a cut. In a new YouTube post, Revelia explains why she opts for this low-impact approach, rather than something like running, and why sustainability is important.
“The energy deficit and oxygen deficit you create by sprinting can backfire,” he says. “First of all, you’re not using fat as a primary fuel source…the lower the intensity of the activity, the more fat is used as the primary fuel source.”
He goes on to demonstrate his usual cardio routine, which consists of five 30-minute walking sessions. If you later find that you’re not losing weight with this routine, you’re not adding time to your sessions, but rather intensity, by increasing the incline and speed on the treadmill so you’re only walking for 30 minutes at a time. .
And to make sure you never miss a session, Revelia has placed your treadmill right in front of the TV so this time it can double as entertainment. “Try to make your cardio, your daily routine, enjoyable,” he says. “If it’s something that doesn’t excite you or give you pleasure, you’re much less likely to do it.”
Just as important as exercise, of course, is diet, especially when your goal is to lose fat. “You can’t just do cardio and expect to lose weight if you’re not paying attention to your nutrition,” says Revelia. “Certain types of cardio will actually increase your hunger…if you do certain types of cardio, you’ll end up eating more to offset that energy,” he says.
“You need to have a basic understanding of your daily caloric intake and your daily activity,” he adds. “You burn calories not just when you’re doing cardio, but throughout the day… I’m not a big believer in severe calorie restriction for weight loss, because it’s short term. You’re going to lose weight initially, but what happens is that eventually you won’t.” you’ll be able to keep up with the low calorie approach your body will adapt you’ll start to restrict your movements energy conservation will happen so I would prefer to take an approach where we understand the balance between how many calories we’re consuming and the movement we are making”.
